As the full force of legalized recreational cannabis wafts over California, a law firm is citing state environmental regulations while suing San Mateo County for its approval of commercial cultivation rules.
Attorneys representing a group called SMC Marijuana Moratorium Coalition is asking a San Mateo County Superior Court judge to determine whether the county complied with the California Environmental Quality Act when it passed a local ordinance allowing greenhouse marijuana grows in certain areas of the coastside. It’s also asking that the county be halted from permitting commercial cultivation, for which applications were expected to start trickling in last week, according to court documents.
