The Sonoma City Council last week struggled to reconcile competing elements in a proposed ordinance to regulate cannabis cultivation and cannabis sales in the city, so city officials on Sept. 24 split the issue into two parts–-and narrowly approved limited personal cultivation of cannabis both indoors and out.
The other issue at hand-–whether or not to allow commercial marijuana sales--will come back to the council for a likely extension of its moratorium on Oct. 22.
With the council voting 3-2 to allow cultivation-–with councilmembers Gary Edwards and Madolyn Agrimonti dissenting-–it opens the door for Sonoma residents to grow a maximum of six marijuana plants, three of which can be cultivated outdoors.
