The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors voted today to ban medical marijuana dispensaries and limit patients' ability to grow plants.

The unanimous vote came after a couple hours of testimony, mostly from opponents who argued that the ordinance left medical marijuana patients without any safe way to get cannabis legally. Supervisors took the vote without any debate or making any comments.

"Have some compassion on those who need it," asked Juan Carlos Mendoza of Chino, who says he uses medical marijuana to deal with injuries he suffered as a veteran in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The county is the latest jurisdiction to impose a ban. Almost all the cities in the Inland area and Riverside County have enacted similar ordinances.

San Bernardino County's ordinance defines dispensaries as any group of three or more people involved in cultivating or distributing marijuana. It also would ban patients from growing marijuana outdoors.

The county has had a moratorium in place since 2009 that is due to expire in June.

These Guys have re interpreted the states laws and circled the wagons against any access for anyone..
This Board has stead fast for several years on their stand.. Even in violation of California State law which is simple and to the point for a reason..
The City of L.A. has tried similar tricks and lost badly in Court after spending millions of tax payers dollars to fight and take their stand against access to Cannabis for Patients..
