ILLEGAL GROWERS

The Marijuana Act initiative that Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is helping to 
launch should address within it what the state will do to shut down 
the illegal growers growing pot all over our national forests in far 
Northern California where they divert and steal enormous quantities 
of water from the rivers and creeks belonging to the First Nation 
Hoopa and Yurok people and poison the forests with rat poisons. 
Anyone hiking into any of these huge grow plots by coincidence is 
being shot at and threatened with death. Are we legalizing this also?
