RESEARCH BEFORE SIGNING POT PETITION

As usual the county supervisors meeting Feb. 11 was filled with the
usual, rude, rowdy bunch of pot growers, users, buyers, sellers,
traders, all unwilling to hear the other side.

We have to live next door to their stench. We have said all along, we
are fine and it's OK if individuals are growing a few plants, for
their own personal use. It's the large "legal" grows that are causing
all the problems.

The organizations for large grows are out in force again with their
petition, which in itself is very confusing. They want to repeal and
replace last year's ordinance, of December 2013, which actually allows
99, 66, 48, plants. Go figure. The large growers get their own way and
still they are not happy.

If you are not sure what the initiative and petition is all about, be
safe and don't sign it.

The paid pot petitioners are targeting Chico State University
students. They think everyone who goes there are a bunch of potheads.
I think otherwise. Students have worked hard to get where they are
today, and do work hard with goals of a better future for themselves.
So think twice when you are approached by these paid petitioners.
Think of the families' lives that are being ruined in the foothills,
let alone our environment.
