The San Luis Obispo County Superior Court recently granted a petition to ban almost all outdoor cannabis advertising on more than 4,000 miles of California highways. The case was brought by county resident Matthew Farmer, who claimed the Bureau of Cannabis Control s interpretation of Proposition 64 would unnecessarily expose him and his teenage children to cannabis advertising.
Although the court s holding leaves little doubt that it will issue an order drastically restricting outdoor cannabis advertising on these highways, no order or further guidance from the Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) has yet issued.

There was a time in my life, in the not-so-distant past, when cannabis was immensely important to me.
Not because I used it I’ve tried it but don’t like the way it makes me feel but because voters in California were being asked whether pot should be legal for adult recreational use. I took it upon myself to try to fully understand the upsides and downsides of Proposition 64, the 2016 ballot initiative, so I could help readers make informed decisions.
The No. 1 worry I heard then was the effect that legalization would have on children. In fact, my position is the same as the one voters embraced when they overwhelmingly approved legalization: No one under the age of 21 should use marijuana. Nor should children be bombarded with cannabis ads.

Jury convicts Arroyo Grande woman of manslaughter, deadlocked on murder charge
December 12, 2020
Chelsea Stiles
A San Luis Obispo County Superior Court jury found an Arroyo Grande woman guilty of nine charges including manslaughter, but was deadlocked on a murder charge.
Chelsea Stiles drove while under the influence of cocaine causing a crash on Highway 227 last December that killed Terry Tilton, 72, of San Luis Obispo. Stiles’ 18-month old daughter and two dogs were also in her vehicle at the time of the collisions.
Because of a previous DUI conviction, Stiles was eligible for a murder conviction. On the charge of murder, which requires a unanimous verdict, the jury’s decision was split 11-1 in favor of guilt.
Contractor alleges Pismo Beach city officials attempted to extort money
December 10, 2020

A contractor filed a petition with the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court that accuses Pismo Beach city officials of threatening harm to his business unless he paid the city money they were not entitled. After Vince Lopez refused, the city filed a disbarment action.
For months, V. Lopez Jr. & Sons and city staff argued over who was responsible for delays in the construction of a new sewer lift station, and who should be financially responsible for the holdup. After the project took an extra 69 days to complete, the city asserted it was the fault of the contractor who they claimed was not always prepared, at times not having the needed equipment on site.
