You obviously do not live in my county - rural SW OR. Our valley and the whole county is getting trashed. There are 120 legal grow ops in my county - and AT 1000 or more illegal ones.
I’ve explained in detail the situation here many times. I don’t know how it is in adjoining counties.
I don’t know how you dealt with legal grows for 2 years - was it even legal 2 years ago? I don’t think so, other then so-called “medical” mj which has been legal for almost 20 years, and is so misused it’s a total farce. Every single medical mj grower grows way more than authorized and sells it, which is illegal.
