LOCAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAWS CAN'T BE CHANGED NOW, SUPERVISORS SAY

Rebuffing grand jury calls for reform of local medical marijuana 
laws, San Luis Obispo County officials say they are handcuffed until 
California officials sort out contradictions between state and 
federal law regarding cannabis.

"This is an inopportune time" to amend the county ordinance, the 
Board of Supervisors wrote in a report they will open to public 
discussion at their Tuesday meeting.

The civil grand jury said in a June report that the county is not 
properly regulating mobile marijuana distributors and has effectively 
halted "brick and mortar" clinics by shooting down the only three 
applicants over the past five years, in Nipomo, Templeton, and Oceano.
