COUNTY SUPERVISORS PASS ON GRASS

The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to
oppose the upcoming proposition that would legalize marijuana for
recreational use in the state.

At their Sept. 7 meeting, supervisors said Proposition 19, formally
titled the Regulation, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, was
badly written and in violation of federal law.

By their own admission, the supervisors' vote does much more than help
the California State Association of Counties decide what its position
will be on the proposition; it may be an indication of how the county
will handle the marijuana law if it passes in November. Counties will
have a lot of say in determining how the new law is enforced.
