Medicinal marijuana problems should dominate the Tuesday morning session of the Kern County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Medical pot advocates are calling for patients and activists to swarm to the meeting and share their concerns about the closure of marijuana dispensaries in Kern County.

The dispensaries closed after federal raids on an Oildale dispensary.

Now supervisors may have to change county ordinances to adapt to a conflict between state law and federal law on the issue of marijuana.
