Joy—neither her real name nor actual picture—began using cannabis in the 1990s, as a means of sparking the appetite her cancer had subdued. Like any reasonable patient, she continued her relationship with the plant after the disease went into remission.
Last month Santa Cruz County’s Cannabis Licensing Office fined “Joy” $125 for violating the volume section of its cultivation code. She’s the home-growing face in front of the numbers.
Good Times
- From July through September, the county issued four red “stop work” tags, 20 administrative citations—with eight citations appealed—and received $20,600 in fines paid. Ten firearms were seized. Thirty-one sites were inspected and $14,344 was seized. Still owed? $928,721.
- “There is increased enforcement,” County Communications Manager Jason Hoppin said. “You know why? It’s grow season. That’s why.”
Quick Hit
- It’s Ladies’ Night with Nurse is an hour of Zoom that consumers interested in holistic wellness are bound to appreciate.
