US CA: Lawyers Challenge County’s Proposed Pot Law

Record Searchlight, 15 Jan 2013 – As some Shasta County officials are poised to move forward today with banning outdoor pot grows to curb crime and complaints from neighbors, some attorneys doubt their solution would stand up to legal scrutiny in the unstable world of medical cannabis law. The Board of Supervisors today will discuss whether to look into scratching outdoor medical marijuana grows from the county’s pot ordinance, as well as making violations of the ordinance a $1,000 misdemeanor fine instead of a $100 infraction.
