Board sticks with existing cannabis ordinance

By Dawn HodsonNo new action was taken regarding the ordinance governing the personal use of cannabis at last week’s El Dorado County Board of Supervisor’s meeting. Instead the board decided not to form a Cannabis Personal Use Ad Hoc Committee and will review the ordinance again next January once the county has more data. At present the ordinance allows adults 21 and older to have up to six cannabis plants for medicinal or recreational use per residence. Moebius noted El Dorado County’s climate is conducive to cultivating large marijuana plants. The average marijuana plant cultivated outdoors can yield conservatively 2-3 pounds of processed marijuana, the attorney said, and indoor marijuana plants have lower yields.
