BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The debate over marijuana use by Kern County residents came to a head Tuesday night as Kern County Supervisors made the decision to ban storefronts that sell the controlled substance.
The discussions on the distribution of marijuana started out civil enough, but an hour into the meeting, attorney Phillip Ganong voiced his disagreement with comments made by the county council. Ganong's comments sparked a disruption so big, supervisors had to call a recess.
"County council went on the record saying our community can easily get it a keystroke away before supplying cannabis," Ganong said
Minutes later, it was back to business with the supervisors opting to split the proposal in two. The urgent first leg would immediately shrink the number of plants one could grow on a property to 12 or less. That's down from 99 plants listed in the original proposal.
The second part would go into effect in 30 days. It would ban storefront dispensaries and the sale of edible products.
After discussing the pros and cons, it was on to the vote. The result: 5-0 approving both ordinances.
