BAKERSFIELD Calif, The debate over marijuana use by Kern County residents came to a head Tuesday night.
as Kern County Supervisors made the decision to ban store fronts that sell the controlled substance.

The discussions on the distribution of marijuana started out civil enough, but an hour into the meeting attorney Phillip Ganong voiced his disagreement with comments made by the county council.

Ganong's comments sparked a disruption so big supervisors had to call a recess.
"County council went on the record saying our community can easily get it a key stroke away before supplying cannabis." Ganong said

Minutes later it was back to business with the supervisors opting to split the proposal in two.

The urgent first leg would immediately shrink the number of plants one could grow on a property to 12 or less.

That's down from 99 plants listed in the original proposal.

The second would go into effect in 30 days. It would ban store front dispensaries and the sale of edible products.

After discussing the pros and cons it was on to the vote.

The results? 5-0 approving both ordinances.
