The question remains:
What are the real priorities???

I just keep posting truth with references cited.
Our own supervisors said there are 100's of 10'000+ plant patches. But these fools hear wanna keep harassing and sending their neighbors to jail for small "mom and pops" gardens.
Just watch the Supervisors Meeting Movie...

"were not dealing with the 10,000 plant issues, were not dealing with the 5,000 plant issues, precisely because we have limits to what a county can do on those cases, so were picking on the mom and poppers" -Supervisor Colfax

Just loved Pinches and Colfax's response of how the county should be dealing with the 10,000 plant patches, instead of wasting time and money busting "mom and Pops" gardens.
Colfax relays that we should go back to reading the constitution. Pinches says that Measure G was to put the pressure on the large gardens, Measure B worries about the 6-25 plant gardens while 10,000 plant gardens are sucking the eel river dry, he says again " no I don't mean sucking the eel river down, I'm talking about these large gardens sucking the eel river dry". he futhers "were sitting here worrying about gardens of 6-25 plants while there are hundreds of 10,000 + plant crops"

If thats your idea of justice in Mendocino County today then I think we need to go back to reading our constitution."

I challenge you to point out the ones that are 6-25 plants. I saw an SO truck the other day loaded about 6 feet up in the bed covered with plants. Looked like a hundered or so there. wanna claim that is "mom and pop" or not commercial. lets think before we blog people.

I for one appreciate your effort to improve public safety in Mendocino County. I think the problem is that our sheriff's department is caught between a rock and a hard place trying to please all of the far out liberal lefty's and the pot heads. Medical marijuana my ****.

You are not the only person. Furthermore, alot of the "arrests" are poor transient kids doing work who dont stand to profit much from the gardens yet they recieve the punishment. We all gotta push for legalization

Prohibition of marijuana has the same consequences that prohibition of alcohol had in the 1930s-illegal trafficking, gangsterism and violence-and serves no useful purpose. As drugs go, pot is relatively innocuous compared to, say, methamphetamine. If it were decriminalized, its value would plunge, innocent medical-marijuana users wouldn't have to worry about thieves, and neighborhoods wouldn't be disrupted by violence. In addition, police would be freed up to deal with the really dangerous drugs like meth.

It's not Prop 215 that needs reform; it's the laws prohibiting marijuana use.

Interesting the Sheriff would acknowledge this issue yet he still hasn't addressed the issue of the Cox Lawsuit. He still hasn't addressed the lack of deputies for the Covelo Area. He hasn't addressed the Suspicious Deputy Suicides.
He hasn't addressed the Alchoholism among deputies of the Sheriffs Department.
The only thing I have heard the Sheriff address is pot. Not Meth, not the $1,000,000 civil rights which names Allman personally and the County of Mendo.

Isn't there greater priorities to address rather than drop a press release stating "were not busting legitimate marijuana gardens"?
Everyone knows the big fish are left to swim while the small fish are sent to jail. It's the families and small mom and poppers who are getting busted.

Meanwhile as our own County Supervisor Pinches said: "there are hundreds of 10,000 + plant crops" -Johnny Pinches

Don't be fooled, these guys are out busting small growers while the helicopters fly right by the 10,000 plant patches.
