Clovis rejects ban medical marijuana growing ban

Tuesday October 9, 2012 8:30 AM

CLOVIS, Calif. (AP) — A Central Valley city has rejected a ban on medical marijuana growing but it has tightened the rules.

The Fresno Bee (bit.ly/R3cGPZ) says the Clovis City Council tweaked its 6-year-old medical pot ordinance Monday night.

The city bans pot dispensaries but allows patients to grow their own indoors. The updated ordinance limits the size of pot gardens and requires them to be out of public view.

The council rejected an outright ban after City Attorney David Wolfe said it would be costly to defend in court and hamper police efforts to control cultivation.
