Lake County supervisors on Tuesday overturned their new marijuana cultivation ordinance, handing another victory to the marijuana activists who collected sufficient signatures to place the issue before voters.
Marijuana activists last year also used the initiative process to convince supervisors to overturn an ordinance limiting the number of marijuana dispensaries in the county.
The cultivation ordinance limited where and how marijuana could be grown. It included banning outdoor growing on parcels that are less than an acre in size, said Lake County Supervisor Jeff Smith.
He said the board will be considering adopting the petitioners' recommended ordinance at a future board meeting.
