A deadline to register marijuana cultivation sites throughout San Luis Obispo county triggered a rash of last minute applicants. While hundreds scrambled to meet the deadline, hundreds more didn't come forward.
Two weeks before the Nov. 18 deadline, there was some reluctance from growers with only around 40 applying. Fast forward to the final few days and that number exploded to more than 400.
"Yeah, it was literally a last minute rush," said Art Trinidade, Code Enforcement Officer for San Luis Obispo County.
