Wolf Urges Caution in Cannabis Regulations
Calls for Limiting Number of Acres for Cultivation
County Supervisor Janet Wolf continues to push for more transparency in the rule-making process now underway in Santa Barbara County to regulate the burgeoning cannabis industry. In a recent mass email, she urged her constituents to weigh in on the Environmental Impact Report taking public comment until Friday, August 11.
Since the draft ordinance “has the potential to allow a very broad range of activities associated with marijuana in many zone districts,” she wrote, “it is crucial that residents” offer input, questions, or concerns.
Normalizing marijuana has long been a progressive issue. And, in Santa Barbara County, so has controlled growth. Now, for some, they are colliding.
