Lake County cannabis ordinance finalized and tax-forfeit lands sold

Revising the original cannabis ordinance created over a year ago has been a process with many iterations, Lake County administrator Matt Huddleston stated at the county board meeting on March 24.

Commissioners have “learned more about cannabis than I ever thought I would,” according to comments during the discussion.

Chief amongst the learnings was the need to separate low-potency edibles from “adult” hemp products, and the expansion of opportunities for microbusinesses to apply for a c onditional u se permit for cultivating and processing cannabis using non-volatile solvents in certain areas.
