'DON'T SIGN IT'

Re "Medi-pot rules finalized, maybe" (Downstroke, Feb. 13):

Please don't sign the marijuana referendum petition-it stinks! It 
benefits only the for-profit growers. They are using paid 
signature-gatherers. It will freeze the amended ordinance and we'll 
see a repeat of 2013's Green Rush, with the accompanying crime wave, 
environmental damage, ruined neighborhoods and rogue Mad Max outlaw growers.

The amended ordinance lets anyone complain and provides for hardship 
cases to ensure patients can grow what they need. Everyone suffers 
alike-pot lovers, pot haters, patients, or the ambivalent-when crime 
skyrockets, when land gets ruined, when wildlife gets poisoned, when 
the air stinks, when ugly fences go up, when our county becomes a 
Green Ghetto. The ordinance limits grows to 150 square feet instead 
of 99 plants, which is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The 
referendum stinks. Please see (http://www.bsane.org/www.bsane.org for 
more info.
