The grower/dealers who are fighting desperately to protect their illicit criminal enterprise will do or say anything to protect their drug profits.

A favorite diversion is to compare the effects of marijuana and meth and to compare marijuana and meth related crimes. The intent is to "prove" marijuana is not a problem or at least not as bad as meth and we should focus on the "real" problelm of meth. It's an effort to deny or deflect us from the fact there are problems with commercial marijuana growing.

The heart of the myth is that marijuana and meth are an either or situation. The truth is many growers are tweekers. We are talking about hard core criminals who will do anything to make an illegal buck. Sometimes marijuana profits finance a meth operation and other times meth profits buy land for marijuana cultivation.

It is also common for mendo marijuana to be traded out of the area for meth which is then brought back and sold here. Think about it. You are a criminal. Right after harvest you have a glut of pot and no one to sell it to. What do you do? It is not uncommon for grower/dealers to take marijuana to the Bay Area or beyond, trade it for meth and bring the meth back and sell it. Taking out commercial growers is complimentary to going after meth.

Marijuana does not make people criminals. The high profits attract hard core criminals, including many meth addicts with criminal histories. They are criminals who choose to grow and sell marijuana because it is lucrative.

Why do we have so many grower/dealers, including meth addicts in Mendocino County? We have made it easy for them to be here with Measure G which allows the highest level of marijuana production per individual and the lowest level of enforcement.

"Mendo Meth Kills" says there is never violent crime associated with marijuana. He ignores the recent story of the marijuana growers arrested for assault and kidnapping of the Covelo teenager or the many other stories involving marijuana related crime.

"Mendo Meth Kills" is the same poster who has encouraged marijuana grower/dealers and their allies to move to Mendocino County in large enough numbers to take over the County at the ballot box.

Very few people in Mendocino County care if someone wants to use marijuana for personal, medical or other reasons. But many of us think we should no longer turn a blind eye to the negative impacts to our communities and our environment.

The grower/dealers are counter attacking on all fronts. They have filed multiple law suits. They plan multiple ballot initiatives. They spam these forums relentlessly. They seek to silence those who disagree with them by name calling, threats, and false charges.

"Mendo Meth Kills" is a grower/dealer who is making lots of money off the dope business. He wants to protect his illegal profits. He is a spammer who has no interest in truth and who only seeks to divert us from the real discussion of how we deal with the marijuana (and meth) related crime.

The grower/dealers have no respect for us or our neighborhoods, our children, our communities, our environment or the will of the voters.

Measure B was a reasonable effort to restore balance to our local situation. Measure B does not keep any legit patient from having access to medical marijuana. But the grower/dealers are not interested in balance. They are only interested in maximum profits.

NON-DRUG DEALERS of Mendocino:
You too can send a letter to the Dept. of Homeland Security, Secretary Michael Chertoff by following the link below:

http://contact.dhs.gov/default.aspx

If you would like to save time and agree with it, you can feel free to use the example above.

Speak out, Mendocino. It is the only way to draw attention to the drug crisis in our communities, especially our schools.

Thanks.
Mongo

Open letter to The Dept. of Homeland Security

Secretary Chertoff,
Mendocino COunty in California needs YOUR help!

As you are likely aware, Mendocino County is currently under attack, by the ILLEGAL DRUG INDUSTRY. The majority of their funding comes directly from large scale marijuana production.

This DRUG MONEY has corrupted our local politics, evidenced by our recent election fraud incidents. This money helps elect political stooges, which further corrupt our government, and our way of life, while making it easier for these DRUG DEALERS to reap large profits from DRUGS.

Good citizens throughout Mendocino County are being terrorized by these self-described "Scarfaces", who seek to protect their profits. In the last ten years, crime has grown disproportionately to the population, at staggering rates. You can see at the link below, a sample of daily activity and arrests, which are far beyond average rural counties in America.
http://www.mendocinosheriff.com/media/index.h ...

Good citizens of Mendocino County are under attack by these DRUG DEALERS. Our children are being targeted for drug sales. Families are being broken. Institutions corrupted. Welfare defrauded. People threatened and killed. Property destroyed. The referenced link will illustrate this is true. These drugs flow across America, to pollute towns, families, and children across the country.

These DOMESTIC TERRORISTS will not stop. They seek to broaden their territory, and their "rights". Our County Has begun to fight back, yet the problem has gotten so bad, we need help.

Please, help the people of Mendocino County take back our communities from these criminals.

Thank You.
Mr. Lloyd

I hate drugs too....

I'm guessing that if you state you hate drugs and group weed and meth together you have never done either. Weed and meth are so un-equal in the devestation they cause its like comparing wiskey to coffee....

I work Full time so does my wife...We raised a child, drug and weed free ,whos married to a kid in the USAF. I've given to charity drives and tend to support our community, AND I LOVE THIS PLACE!

NO DRUGS will NEVER HAPPEN. So why not allow the most freindly one of all. Weed.

And also, to Ssss, Yes I like to make a profit but not at any cost.

I did that to show my contempt for the way he picks on Sue. I have repeated that about 10 times and appoligized to all except Mongo because he does not deserve an appology (people who don't except them don't deserve them).

But thats a good reason not to acknowledge my points.... because I posted that poll. Put pot smokers in jail because I posted that poll. Blame all pot smokers for Lloyds misery he has suffered since I posted that poll....

And that way you don't have to answer anything that takes more than 1/2 a brain

Poor poor mongo... POOR POOR MONGO, HES AMERICAS HERO! and to take this abuse.... You guys should run him for an office in our beloved federal goverment

cause as we all know;

POT = METH
PARIS HILTON = BARAK OBAMA

Typical diversion from a self-admitted grower/dealer trying to convince us there are NO problems with commercial grower/dealers.

FB Grower, a self-admitted dope grower/dealer, says "I've given to charity drives and tend to support our community." but has never paid taxes on his dope dealing profits.

He does not care about the devastation illegal drugs and the drug culture of which he is part is causing to our families and our communities. He is only interested in protecting his illegal drug dealing profits.

Point by point? FB Grower lost the argument long ago and resorted to curses, false charges and name calling (idiot, moron, Nazi,****, liar, molester, etc.).

And most of us are not anti marijuana. We are anti selfish, inconsiderate, abusive grower/dealers. When you acknowledge that reality maybe we can have a productive discussion.

Your apology went like this: "If any of you [idiots] believed I was really calling Mongo a molester, I apologize."

When offering an apology, it helps if you fake being sincere.

You have also not apologized for or even acknowledged the pain you caused to victims by trivializing the suffering they experienced.

Based on your behaviour here, you seem to be lacking in ethics and character.

there are some problems....most seem like Zoning problems. But when somthing is "illegal" the zoning officer has a gun, puts you in prison with TRUE BAD **** CRIMMINALS. Do you think that makes the world better. It's expensive and dosen't stop the ZONING issues you seem to talk about.

Crime.Well tax it and use some of the money to give our community the the security we deserve via Law enforcment.

I don't know a grower in Fort bragg who likes big commercial out door growers. I Don't. But guess what... I'VE never seen there operations, Just heard about them. Most of us Small commercial growers have FULL TIME JOBS. We live next door to you and if we don't want you kow about us you don't. Most. If the odor or traffic bothers you I would say thats a rare ocassion cause why would we want to be noticed.

I dont expect any of you to respond to me like I respond to you but when you talk about "Typical diversion" on my part and don't respond people who don't post but just read see the lack of your depth of input :)

there hass to be a period of LAW abidement before we can go back to what you're visualizing. It's gotton to big and corrupt. We need to sacrafice for a period of time. You don't appear to live in a circle or are exposed to a circle of folks thatprove the connection between weed and meth. I see it! It does go together like lawnorder says. The traffiking does it. The pot travels to our borders, brings back in meth. The market here is huge I think you agree. SO! since it can't be made here as eassy, and pot grows easy, isn't it logical to say the buy and sell of each connects the two?
