Clark County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to readopt a ban on medical marijuana collective gardens that had expired.
The gardens are permissible under a 2011 state rule allowing patients and designated providers to plant a collective garden with no more than 45 plants.
After the 2011 rule was approved, county commissioners, who set land-use policies for unincorporated areas, initially had temporary moratoriums on the gardens. At the time, commissioners said they needed time to set guidelines about where the gardens could be located.
Over time, that stance changed into a ban, and commissioners stopped talking about regulation.
Chris Horne, the county’s chief deputy civil attorney, said Tuesday that the new ordinance doesn’t have an end date, but commissioners will be welcome to revisit the issue.
