Marijuana-grower signage is cropping up like roadside weeds. The deceptive pot calling a kettle black are "Yes on B/No on A" signs. Measure B, under the guise of protecting our property rights, is pulling the wool over your eyes. Do growers, under the pretense of needing more medical marijuana, determine quality of life in your neighborhood? Measure B equals more plants growing closer to your property lines. Is Butte County to sustain greater environmental damage from erosion and chemicals? Watersheds and water tables in foothill communities are sucked dry by huge marijuana gardens. Trucks haul water to keep up with their thirsty demands. Bud is trafficked, untaxed, out of state while food-crop farmers of Butte County pay taxes and make meaningful contributions to their communities. Vote yes on Measure A. It keeps an ordinance in place, allowing for medical marijuana needs. Measure A permits your say concerning your rights. Voter clarity equals yes on A, otherwise Butte County will go to pot.
