Marijuana grow, electrical theft discovered at Beaumont home

BEAUMONT, Calif. -

Police discovered more than 100 marijuana plants at an indoor grow operation at a Beaumont residence, which was partially powered by stolen electricity.

Members of the Beaumont Police Department's Multiple Enforcement Team served a search warrant Friday in the 1400 block of Moonlight Drive, where police said the second floor of the home was completely converted into a marijuana grow facility.

Police also found lights, ballasts, hydroponics and other grow equipment.

Southern California Edison confirmed that a bypass on the home's electrical supply allowed more than an estimated $18,000 in electricity to be  stolen to facilitate the operation.

No one was at the home Friday when the search warrant was served.

Yountville opposes marijuana cultivation as state law nears

With the approach of new California laws that could pull marijuana regulation out of local hands, Yountville has taken a stance against growing cannabis within its boundaries.

An ordinance supported last week by the Town Council bars cultivation of the plant, enabling the Upvalley community to beat a state deadline to put a local growing ban in place. Without the law, Yountville faces the possible loss of authority over marijuana growing starting March 1, when new state regulations on cultivation take effect for cities and counties with no prohibitions of their own.

Legal Marijuana May Become A Reality in California Next Year

In the 1990's, California's decision to legalize medical marijuana put it at the forefront of pro-pot policy. However, California's failure to pass recreational marijuana legislation in 2010 led to it taking a backseat to other states when it comes to reforming recreational marijuana laws.

Today, four states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational pot and the experiences in those states, including better-than-hoped tax revenue in Colorado and Washington, and an increasingly laissez-faire attitude toward marijuana nationally, could mean that California is about to embrace recreational marijuana in 2016.
