I just read Joe Mozingo’s article in the Los Angeles Times about how the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors made our county the “capital of California’s legal pot market.” (He mentioned me as a grower impacted by cannabis.) Simply put, the board sold the county down the river by allowing unlimited marijuana cultivation in our county.
So how did it happen? In a word:
lobbying.
Mozingo’s research shows: “Lobbied heavily by the marijuana
industry, Santa Barbara County officials opened the door to big cannabis
interests in the last two years like no other county in the nation.”
