People in Madera County will no longer be able to get medical marijuana legally.
In a 5-0 vote Tuesday afternoon, the Madera Board of Supervisors banned all marijuana dispensaries from the county.
Some residents were upset during the meeting, saying they need pot to treat their illnesses, but the board say the ban is in the best interest of the county.
The board also says the dispensaries are not worth the tax money it would take to regulate them.
