SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) — Numerous cannabis agenda items will be on Santa Cruz County’s Board of Supervisors agenda on March 11 from on-site consumption to preventing underage use.

The first item would be an ordinance allowing cannabis use on-site at retailers. This would either be within the existing building itself or an adjacent space to the retail site.

The item was brought up to the board as early as November 14, 2023, when the Board of Supervisors looked at cannabis cultivation issues leading to community feedback and responses.

A vote would approve a concept allowing consumption before moving forward with a second reading and final adoption on March 25.

Another cannabis ordinance would focus on a farm retail license program allowing for the sale of cannabis at farm produce stands.

The pilot program would be for three years and allow the cannabis farms to be able to sell cannabis at their farms as part of their farm tours for consumption either on-site or at a designated space.

Along with these ordinances, the Board of Supervisors will accept a report on preventing underage cannabis use in Santa Cruz County.

The Board directed the Health Service Agency to create recommendations for the prevention efforts.
