South Morro Hills Grower Switching To Cannabis Now
OCEANSIDE — A South Morro Hills hemp grower has asked the city for permission to switch to growing cannabis.
South Morro Hills 47, LLC, which currently holds a cannabis cultivation local license, applied earlier this year for a conditional use permit to operate at 1319 Sleeping Indian Road.
Since at least the 1960s, the property has been used for various agricultural purposes. The Campbell family took over farming the land in 1994, and hemp is currently being cultivated on-site.
The request, if approved by the city, would switch the hemp currently grown in the site's hoop houses over to the new cannabis crop.
Currently, the business is authorized by the County of San Diego's Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures to breed and cultivate industrial hemp, and permitted to sell hemp seeds, flower and biomass for processing. The issue, however, is that the business is prohibited from selling its product within the state due to Gov. Gavin Newsom's emergency ban on intoxicating hemp products, which went into effect last fall.
"As a result, we primarily sell our product to out-of-state facilities, which generates little to no revenue for the state or for the city of Oceanside," South Morro Hills 47 states.
