Just here doing the jobs Americans don't want to do.You would think the owner of the property would do a better job watching his investment. I guess when you are a cash customer, no questions are asked .

Proving, Marijuana is the gateway drug. Anyone with a brain knows that these growers are trading with dealers from the Bay Area. Pot for Meth and then they sell the Meth to our kids, who else needs to buy it in such small quantities? My son and his friend were approached in front of the Ukiah theater while waiting for a ride. Two twelve year olds and this **** pulls up in an expedition with spinners on his wheels and tries to sell them Meth. THIS ONE instance it happened to be a hispanic male but make no mistake, This problem transcends ALL racial, social and genders!
hook 'em with pot and reel 'em in to Meth! Way to go Mendo County! |

ever heard of a dealer who only sells to the kids? Get real1 Kids will find anything they need to get high, if that is what they are trying to do. COugh syrup, cold medicine, glue, aerosol cans, you name it. Stop blaming pot for all the problems. Its prohibition that is responsible. If countries like Holland can have tolerance for the adult consumption of soft drugs, and only 20% of Dutch smoke pot, how are they able to prevent kids using and the united states cannot? |

My appreciation and thanks to a fine job by LEO for getting these losers off our streets and securing a sizable amount of drugs now out of circulation. Good job guys!

So, using your logic, we should treat our women like dogs and make them wear Burkas (not sure of the spelling here) because there is less teen pregnancy in Iraq? or because anyone can walk into a restaurant in Russia and order Vodka, no matter their age, we should de-criminalize under-age drinking? I think the ONLY answer is EDUCATION!! I don't care what Holland or Iraq or Russia are doing this is America! and fortunatly You and I are aloud to dis-agree and post those views and live in Harmony! I am not naive enough to think all of our problems are caused by pot, but it doesn't help. If you or anyone else wants to grow a FEW plants and smoke it, I am OK with that. Even though we don't particularly agree on everything at least your arguments are well thought out and make sense |

Nice to see the Sheriff's department doing their job instead of busting small time mom and pops medical growers.
this is what law enforcement is supposed to be working on, not MEDICAL MARIJUANA! MOST, IF NOT ALL COMMERCIAL LARGE SCALE GROWERS SUPPORT MEASURE B, THEY KNOW THE PRICES WILL RISE IF MARIJUANA IS RECRIMINALIZED IN MENDOCINO! measure b =Higher prices Higher prices = more violent crime! no on measure b |

40% or more of structure fires in Mendocino County caused by indoor marijuana grow operations, says Fire Chief
Anderson Valley fire chief Colin Wilson told a Measure B forum Tuesday night (April 29) that the leading insurance investigator for this region told him that 40% of all structure fires in Mendocino County are caused by indoor marijuana growing operations. Wilson told the forum that several fire department chiefs believe the figure is too low. Wilson described how recent fires in Anderson Valley from marijuana growing burned not only the grower's property but spread to neighbors' buildings. Another example of the problem took place on July 23, 2007 when a grower's improperly-installed generator started a fire on Walker Road just south of Willits. Little Lake Fire Department responded and discovered over 300 plants and a whole room full of processed marijuana. They also discovered that the generator fuel supply had been leaking diesel into the ground, eventually requiring removal of 18 cubic yards of contaminated soil. A sheriff's deputy was called and the grower displayed 19 medical marijuana "caregiver" cards to justify his huge growing operation. After calling his supervisor for instructions, the deputy left without making an arrest or seizure. This incident is cited by the Yes on B Coalition as an illustration of the countywide crisis in public protection against harmful impacts of commercial marijuana growing. Measure B will provide a voter mandate to law enforcement to stop allowing fraudulent use of the compassionate medical marijuana program as a cover for abusive growing practices. At the Tuesday forum, fire chief Colin Wilson also criticized the lack of support from marijuana growers for public services like fire protection, since they generally pay no income or sales tax, while they disproportionately utilize fire protection services. Wilson stated his support for Measure B. Also participating in the forum in support of Measure B were John McCowen, Ukiah City Councilman, and Karin Wandrei, director of the Mendocino County Youth Project. Representing No on B were Pebbles Trippet, a marijuana grower, Keith Faulder, a marijuana defense lawyer, and Dr. William Courtney, a doctor who makes medical marijuana recommendations. The forum was sponsored by the Anderson Valley Community Action Coalition, a group which complained to the Board of Supervisors on July 13, 2007 that "Currently we have a property adjacent to our elementary school on which medical marijuana is growing right up against the fence. While we support the rights of patients to use medical marijuana, we don't support it at the expense of the rights of our youth to attend school in a drug-free environment."

Medicinal Marijuana is a sham. The concept is good but come on!!!
Only 15% of the buyers are legitimate. It IS a gateway drug and so is alcohol. It IS bringing in **** form outside and growing them from within. Something needs to be done. So many people are growing dope. It IS a major economic engine of this county. Thousands of people are living here with dignity because of dope income. It is not a easy subject. Lets start by seeing the truth of both sides. |

There aren't two sides here. there are only greedy, lying pot growers that are selling there pot to all ages. These growers don't have dignity, all they have is all they care about, money!!! And more than half of it comes from people under the age of 18. Way under. |
