Legalism. Some is useful and necessary; some not.
I just spent 1/2 hour talking with someone at the County Commissioners’ office. Nice lady. Clued me in to why this county and the one below us, and especially our valley, is being utterly destroyed with illegal mj growing operations and nothing is being done to stop it. Literally destroyed, in multiple ways. Example: our well now gets 10gpm. In 20 years, through some bad drought years, it never went below 13GPM and usually 14. Why 10? The growers are sucking the acquifers dry, stealing from creeks and streams (illegal because no water rights, big thing in the west). Local well driller said wells are failing all over the valley. And that’s just one of the horrors.
Why legalism? The illegal growers - many funded by cartels - ask for a hemp permit which requires no testing or oversight, and then grow high thc mj. People from Russia, Bulgaria and mostly MX are coming here and buying huge acreage. The state and feds refuse to do anything and the county has no “legal” authority.
I told her I’ll be sharpening my pitchfork and she said many others are as well.

that just seems ridiculously illegal. Where’s the Sheriff??
Maybe it’s time for some clandestine activity - destroy the crops. But be careful, cartels don’t like their crops destroyed, even if they are illegal.
You have to either fight or GTFO. Keep in mind there’s cartel $ supporting them.
