You can’t do REC business within the parts of Kern designated as county. In the city of Bakersfield cannabis is prohibited.

Vice
- A town of just under 14,000 nestled between Sequoias National Park and Angeles National Forest, California City has approved 20 cannabis businesses since the spring.
- “It’s not like we really wanted to be a marijuana hub. But just about every other industry gave us the big middle finger,” said Mayor Chuck McGuire.
Quick Hit
- A lawsuit has resulted from those 10M hemp plants destroyed by Kern County Sheriffs. The basis for this litigation is a loophole in the 2014 Farm Bill covering “hot hemp.”
