The Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 Wednesday to accept a $2 million grant to handle licensing matters for San Diego County’s five cannabis facilities.

The $2.09 million grant from the California Board of State Community Corrections will also be used to help the county combat illegal marijuana cultivation and develop a permitting system for the facilities.

The item was approved without discussion.

Supervisor Jim Desmond, who has been critical of the cannabis program, voted no.
