A Fresno Superior Court Judge has tentatively ruled against Beverly Hills and 24 other local governments in their case against the California Bureau of Cannabis Control. The case, County of Santa Cruz v. Bureau of Cannabis Control, involves the issue of cannabis delivery and the power of local governments to regulate it within their jurisdiction. While the ruling will effectively dismiss some of the plaintiffs from the case, Beverly Hills will likely survive.
In 2016, California voters elected to join a growing list of states to allow recreational marijuana with the passage of Proposition 64, or the Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA).
