Impact of New Marijuana Laws

Impact of New Marijuana Laws

The Board of Supervisors has managed to make Butte County 47th out of 60 counties in per capita income. Its likely that it will do what it can to stifle county residents ability to share in any possible benefits of the new marijuana laws. The state laws will be hard to negotiate, but look liberal in a place where our representatives are only interested in finding ways to more efficiently harass people.

tmro is the RCWC meeting at the BOS at 930am!

Oroville >> Following the recent approval of state rules on the cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana, the Butte County Board of Supervisors will hear a presentation on the laws’ impact on the county.

On Tuesday, Paul Smith, senior legislative advocate with the Rural County Representatives of California, and Karen Keene, senior legislative representative from the California State Association of Counties, will discuss the new regulatory framework for medical marijuana.

While the state laws establish rules and licensing for cultivating, dispensing and delivering cannabis, county officials have said the law also allows local jurisdictions, including counties, to control or ban the activity.

In previous meetings, supervisors have questioned how the new laws would work with the county’s Measure A ordinance setting marijuana growing areas based on lot size. The ordinance was actively enforced this year following its approval by voters in 2014.

Officials have discussed making changes to the ordinance, but the proposals are geared toward streamlining the abatement process.

According to the CSAC presentation included with the agenda, the law doesn’t supercede or limit enforcement of local policies. Further, people seeking a state license may not submit an application if the proposed use violates local rules or zoning. If an applicant obtains a state license, it can’t be used until the applicant obtains whatever local permit or license that is needed. Licensees must also submit to a state background check.

There are exemptions for personal and caregiver grows, but local rules still apply.

The presentation notes that mobile deliveries from licensed dispensaries are allowed by default unless prohibited by local ordinance.

When it comes to enforcing the state laws, the presentation notes cities may be able to enforce the regulations for facilities within city limits. However, counties do not have explicit authority.

The presentation also appears to touch on other aspects of the law, including efforts to regulate waste that may be generated by cannabis grows.

The new law treats marijuana cultivation as agriculture, although the county currently doesn’t allow growing in agricultural areas.

The presentation may also look at other pending bills in the Legislature, including proposals to tax cultivation and set up a state credit union so the cannabis industry can access banking services. There is also an acknowledgement that California voters will likely vote on at least one marijuana-related proposition next year. There are several proposals to allow the recreational use of marijuana in the state.

The discussion is a timed item set to begin at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. The meeting starts at 9 a.m. at the County Administration Building, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville. Meeting information is available at

yea man its just downright ridiculous, oroville/palermo is straight POVERTY. just ride through lincoln, go the walmart in downtown oroville, all welfare leeches and extremely poor people. the check cashing places are a nightmare every 1st and 15th.

medical marijuana brought millions of dollars into this county, propped up foothill property values, and flooded local businesses with cash. measure A goes directly against traditional conservative values that support local farmers and limited government interference with the economy.

its all because of peices of shit like chris sommers and buck weckman, anti marijuana jesus hugging crusaders, and all the tweaker grows that made the rest of us look bad, letting their pitbulls run loose, stealing power diverting water and letting off AKs into the night.

hopefully butte gets on board with 266/643 and we can bring some life back to this county, if not im fucking outta here.
 
I agree yes4prop215. A poverty shithole has a chance to support a new industry but they listen to a few whiners who don't like seeing license plates from other places and want the new people out. Thousands come out to support the medical marijuana industry and are ignored, the BOS listens to the dozens. The vote was planned for the midterm when no one but old Republicans and city people vote. The people in the cities, who can't grow (or shouldn't), were jealous that the people in the foothills had something to do.

I stood in line at the downtown hardware store and listened to the guy at the cash register talk to a customer about shooting coyotes, then about how pot growers were scum. He didn't have much of an argument except that they drove big four wheel drive pickups. I suppose since he couldn't afford one he was pissed. This seems common. I don't shop there any more.

hell yeah Butte! big turnout at the BOS meeting, now hopefully that pathetic excuse for a BOS will actually listen and be open to the idea of permitted grows.

Even Connelly, one of the most staunch anti growers on the board, quickly brought up "Can we charge fees, how much can we charge?"

Money talks....Teeter and kirk seemed open too but i heard teeter is a crowd pleasure and will bend to the power of the other members. Wahl needs to just go croak already he looks like hes on his deathbed, barely said a single word the entire time and looked like he was sleeping, probably hungover.

never been to butte but reading all this, not every dog stakes out its territory obviously. some don't want to advertise their presence and use inobvious methods to deter visitors.

"old sow got caught in the fence last spring".

if you know what i mean.

some interesting things i read in the recent brute county planning commissions recent meetings on AG setbacks….gives us some idea of the general rules regarding any kind of farm/ag on residential AG and commercial properties. obviously marijuana would be stricter, but its nice to see this as a baseline.

http://www.chicoer.com/general-news...ance-between-houses-land-used-for-agriculture

The proposal maintains that people would be able to use residential, commercial and industrial properties an acre or larger for farming and grazing.

The proposal temporarily shelves language calling for people using their residentially zoned property for agriculture to develop an management plan with the agricultural commissioner.

Planning commissioners questioned who would have to obtain a plan. They seemed to favor the suggestion that only growers directly affected by new development would have to obtain the plan.


Interim agricultural commissioner Robert Hill said the plans currently cost between $100 to $400, based on the amount of staff time needed. He said his office didn’t necessarily have the manpower to handle a lot of plan requests, so the cost may increase with demand.

Hill explained that the plan typically sets out steps for a grower to follow, including what chemicals to use for pest control and when. He said pest control is a big issue as insects and varmints from small-scale agriculture could move onto larger farms.

Hill noted the 25-foot setback isn’t a great distance. Guidelines on the setback could help set a distance that is more reasonable, while incorporating barriers and other techniques to minimize spray exposure.

The AMMA and Steve kubby need to hurry up and launch their lawsuit god damn it.

Prop, the butte supervisors are way cooler then the yuba supervisors. Nick and I hung out and talked with 2 of them for like an hour after the meeting. I think we can follow Santa Cruz and mendo and Humboldt and set up a cannabis committee.

I forgot to mention too, you looked so sharp with the glasses on!
