Ban, With Local Impact

So last week the newspaper reported that the county supervisors and sheriff Royal (whom I know), got an outdoor pot ban which took effect immediately. No delay, no denial, no screwing around with permits. If its outside, its an arrest. This should hopefully stop most of the illegal grows and get most of the illegal growers to flee this county. Neighboring counties did similar things already, which is why they were coming here. One of the pot heads claimed (hilariously) "But pot growers create $350 million a year in this county!". Hahahahahahahha. No. They're dirt poor and shop at the same grocery as the welfare moms. Combined there's probably a million to three million for the whole county. Pot prices have been dropping like a stone since it was partially legalized, and the murder rate has gone way up. Worse, when the season ends the trimmers, a pot growers season staff that wander in like bums, start robbing houses or getting into bar fights or attacking the locals. We don't like that. And we give our law enforcement permission to shoot them, beat them, and throw the book at them. They get harsh prison terms because we're a consevative community by the time it gets to jury selection and the local hippies, most of them with felony records, can't serve on juries. Whoops! So if you break the law here, you are getting a bad prison experience. Or dead.

I am glad to see this and want them to come down on the growers like a hammer. I want those "hydroponic supplies" people to vanish. I want the potheads staggering out of the brush and attacking old ladies shot. I'd also like the welfare moms to leave but we can't have everything. Its socialism that created them, and they're everybody's problem thanks to the local schools being full of communists. Until you fire those "social justice" clowns you won't solve the problem.
