In a landmark 6-1 vote the Fresno City Council approved a measure that will outlaw all marijuana grows within the city — indoor and outdoor.
This follows a similar measure by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, who unanimously approved a near-identical ban in January.
The city, which already bans outdoor grows and marijuana dispensaries, is one of the first in the state to outlaw all cultivation.
The council set a deadline of 120 days for growers to get rid of their plants or face a $1000 fine per plant.
District Seven Councilman Clint Olivier was the sole no vote.
