Unless they have to live what we are, they will never understand our complaint, Harvest Season just about ended Thank God for that.

Also until they stop smoking dope or growing it, they’ll never see. A lot of growers around here refuse to admit the horrible downside, which I mentioned some of, because they’re too busy counting their piles of hundred dollar bills, plus anyone who smokes cannot think rationally.
The thread below is very informative, and the article is a fantastic resource for the very numerous and severe downsides to using. My comments are about what happens when growing is legalized. These problems are not unique to my area, but common where ever it is legalized. It is somewhat worse in my area as we are quite remote with little law enforcement as it is, and apparently the climate is ideal for mj growing.
I also used to smoke it many years ago when the THC content was much, much less, and I have a relative and have known others who are regular smokers, and it ruins them. No one can lie to me about what mj does. If people smoke very, very occasionally the harm is not as great, but most people who smoke it, or ingest in other ways, do so regularly.
My comment 115 says a lot of what has happened here and locally, and I add some more further down.
Legalizing Marijuana is a Terrible Idea

Yes I agree with your link in this post, most sounds like our County, Supervisors still being tuned by growers, will know soon what decision is.
I’m surprised the county commissioners decided the right way, but with more than 60% of the voters saying “NO!!!!” to mj grow ops on RR-5 zoned land (rural residential), it’ll be bad politically for them to go against this. The vote was advisory, not binding.
There is much gnashing of teeth, a lovely sound.....
