How do we know that it is a Mexican cartel? Why can't the flower growers in Carpinteria grow cannibis? Legalize growing operations and tax the growers and sellers.

Be careful my Bulldog got heat stroke and came close to death. It cost over 15k in vet bills to get him back into good health.

This is silly. No matter what happens to these kids it is not going to bring back my landscaping or garage that was damaged. I am not these young adults friend but I think we can just blame them for something that might not have been their fault. Justice give it a rest. Try to put some of that revenge energy into rebuilding.
There is a bigger issue here and it has to do with climate change. Four major fires in 18 months is not just a coincidence.

Justice?
Again there is not enough proof to convict these young adults of starting the Tea Fire. There is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt and a trial would only see these defendants acquitted. With conflicting reports as to what has started this fire there appears to be no clear answer. To have the victims speak would infer that these young adults are taking responsibility for the fire. This may not be the case. Personally I have property damage and still have rebuilding issues to deal with. There is also the issue of personal responsibility the homeowners have to accept.
Did they create a defensible space around their home?
Are they aware of the danger of living in a high risk fire area with many of the homes not up to current safety codes?
Let's stop playing the victim card and try to take personal responsibility for what we can do to prevent these types of disasters.

These Kids are being scapegoated for the Tea fire. As a resident of the affected area and someone who has recieved property damage from the fire I do not blame these kids. There were multiple reports from witnesses that say they saw someone else start the fire. Also there is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt that these kids did start it. The DA knows that they have no case and that is why there is a plea bargin.

More important than regulating the canibis clubs is regulating the agricultural side of canibis cultivation. Currently there is 14 billion dollar cash crop that is not being regulated or taxed by the state of California. This black market is now being filled by both growers from Mexico and Canadian's. The illegal grow operations in the National Forest are having a negitave environmental impact on local water ways. There is also a significant chemical fertlizer run off that is damaging local ecosystems that are already stressed by drought. It is high time we have a comprehensive approach to the cultivation problem.

Surfergirl It is sad that some people did get laid off at Citrix. It is just too bad you were not one of them.

Wow...There are no Mexican Drug Cartel's up Cold Springs Road...Now that being said I have see suspicious individuals with ATV's with weapons in the back country in the Los Padres. Now I was on a motorcycle and I don't think they had any interest in me. I don't know what they were up to it might just have been deer season. But these guys who are doing illegal grows in the National Forest are usually far away from any common hiking trail and like any fearful creature, they will leave you alone if you are not messing with them. So for all I hope we can enjoy the local hiking trails and I encourage the independent to continue the series. This week I enjoyed hikes to White Mountain and Cold Springs Dome. No Drug cartels spotted, just lovely views and lots of chaparral.
