Such as...uh, rooting organized crime out of marijuana fields in Mendocino and Humboldt counties? Really, it's gotten so bad that local folks are seriously reconsidering their previous philosophy of looking the other way to pot cultivation. There have simply been too many shootings, too many threats against people, too much pesticide, too many creeks diverted into makeshift irrigation canals. People up there are saying ENOUGH already!
Let's see - we have $5/gallon gasoline, a collapsing dollar, war in the Middle East, Iran building nukes, and problems on our border with Mexico. Nice to see that you have your priorities straight... :O|
t seems few people outside of the county of Mendocino realize that the main economy of the county revolves around local residents deriving an income from pot cultivation. If it ends the economy of the county will do a rapid crash and burn. Local prices at all the retail stores will rise and so many local pot farmers will sell their homes and move to either Humbolt or Sonoma counties where the law as well as local people look the other way and even medical pot growers in both of those counties have a much higher number allowed to grow as with Mendocino had/has currently 25 plants and a voted measure B lowered it to 6 plants. The other two counties allow 99 and 100 plants to be grown by legal medical pot growers. Mendocino county has For Sale signs all over the place even though measure B has been declared by the courts as being unconstitutional most of the local growers legal and/or otherwise are selling and moving to the two counties so as to have things function in an economy they can live with. I'm sure many will argue on all this so go for it until you are worn out on the pros and cons of it all.
I say California should legalize it, grow it as a cash crop like grapes to wine are grown for commercial and medical use, tax it and the state makes its budget balanced ++++ and the criminal elements and other complaints you make about growing it will vanish because the state will license growers and supervise the way it is produced.
I agree 100% but until the Federal Government can be persuaded to a non-interventionist stance the state data on taxes and so forth would just be used to oppress the people producing the income via cannabis.
