Yuba County
https://www.appeal-democrat.com/news/...1acb672a3.html
So, they're mulling it over, huh? I've done a little research trying to figure out how the voting process works. It seems the five members of the board of supervisors meets at least once per month and if they get a 4-1 vote they can pass an emergency ordinance. This basically means that the next time they're in session they could ban outdoor growing and, they're considering it. If they do vote in an outdoor ban ordinance the only recourse we have is to gather signatures to get the ordinance put to a vote before the whole county. I'm no expert but that's what I gathered with a little googling. Does anyone have any more info on the voting process and on which direction the supervisors are leaning? From the newspaper articles I read it seems two out of five are vehemently against medical cannabis cultivation. Also, what about greenhouse growing if they outlaw outdoor? I just moved to the area last year. I'm going to start going to ASA meetings and volunteering...this whole outdoor ban thing is getting out of hand. This year I grew 30lbs of cannatonic to be given away to people in need and the rest of my harvest that I received donations on allowed me to spend a ton of money with local businesses. How is this a bad thing? |

ASA meets I believe every 2nd or 3rd thursday of the month at the Willow Glen Bar & Restaurant you should be able to see on website I think,, if you didn't already know.
It appears there is a group of Yuba county residents that really wwnt to ban growing all, together, and are pushing BOS , really a pain with this , and it looks like they are poised to vote before outdoor traditionally starts, but who knows, it is obvious the 3 options do not allow any outdoor, greenhouse is supposed to be defined in new ordinance/ban if I understood, which is possible I didn't! I plan on continuing both greenhouse and indoor , unitl ordered to shutdown, get cut down , or fo to jail,, that is how imfeel and always will, fuck them, m they are not intelligent, otherwise this county would see what they currently have, estimated 5000 grows, and cash in on it, but no, it appears they are an anti marijuana county. My wife and kids have planted our selfs here over 6 years ago and have no plans to move on yet,, if ever!! I will say I see problems ahead for Yuba county in the future, and change will hapen once again! |

February 10th at 3 p.m. They are meeting to review the draft they are working on now.
Sheriff Durfor says it'll take another million on top of the current budget if they enact a tighter ordinance and already as is they are way behind on money and manpower with the current budget. A ban will clearly hurt the local economy is every aspect. The real estate market will crash, pretty much a pump and dump equivalent. All the local stores will see huge impacts. The contractors and construction businesses especially. I rather lawyer up with Jeff lakes or others and start a class action on them. But more realistically we should all about together, hire up Jeff again (he filed the injunction and helped with the last ordinance)and file an injunction. If that doesn't work, get enough signatures to put it to vote. That didn't really work well in butte county, but if it doesn't work, I say we lawyer up and go class action on these fools. Let's just try to hang them up for one more year until it goes recreational . |

It's happening everywhere, have you heard about the water permits growers are now gonna need? They plan to launch it in the middle of this season. Its gonna get real difficult to pull off outdoor in many counties. Look it up. Only good news is this will be 1 of the several factors that will raise prices.

Look up the Yuba County Growers Association. they were the ones who fought to get the ordinance the way it is currently and will fight any attempt to change it

Thanks, Sunfire... I also heard that a lot of people in high places at the meeting voiced the opinion that a ban or "quasi-ban" would really mess up the economy....common sense. The problem is no one paid any attention to common sense in Butte County. The ASA proposal also goes into how a ban would actually create crime by encouraging people who don't care about the ordinances and are willing to roll the dice on huge illegal grows to move here....who do you think is going to buy all the properties that go up for sale if they won't allow 36 on 5?
We really need to pull together to make sure they don't screw up the decent grow rights that we have in Yuba county. I'm not going to miss any meetings--Americans for Safe Access, Yuba County Growers Association or, Yuba County Board of Supervisors. |

Bump bump bump! This is insanely important issue for yuba and everyone that lives in it. I'll call around tomorrow and get more information on sam and the ycga and what time the Asa meeting is.

Yeah, the YCGA website is up but there isn't any new information on it. no new information on the asa and ycga facebooks feeds either as of four days ago.
there's a video of the last bos meeting up- I think it's on the yuba asa facebook feed. Last I heard there was a small victory in the BOS agreeing to form ad hoc groups to discuss the ordinance instead of going with the proposed 12 plant across the board ordinance right away. There is a lot still up in in the air right now... I'm not sure exactly when he next meeting is...the last one is January 13th so probably mid February |
