But we all know Marijuana is really the #1 crop in Santa Barbara county and the state for that matter. It equals more then the top 10 crops combined.

Preach on brother Sharpe!

On Regulation, Not Repression

Amen, keep on these guys and keep up posted when events like this happen!

Does anyone on the city counsel have any guts to make a call on this topic? Someone has to make a call, and then go with it otherwise we'll continue to get tramped by the feds at their whim.

The Poets have done more for fighting for medical dispensaries and patients rights in SB then anyone else has. I'm glad Heather and her family were vindicated!

On City to Pay Poet's Legal Fees

People abuse everything, from Rx they get legally (hello Rush Limbaugh) to booze (DUI for Pres Bush). Because 5% of the people do cause 95% of the problems, don't simply rush to put everyone into that "farce" category. Hey, I'm sure I can go to my local doctor, fake some kind of ailment and leave with an Rx for whatever I wanted - so what's the difference? If people are going to be dishonest and lie, well that's another issue - it's not Measure P, Prop 215 or the clubs fault.

On Pot Dispensaries Face City Rules, Federal Crackdown

I moved into a new place in Goleta and the last person who lived there got the News Press. I've been trying to get them to stop delivering it to me, but they won't. I can't cancel it. I've tried several times.

It's been a year now and I'm to the point where I'm hoping the subscription just runs out...

On News-Press Circulation Free Falls

It's obvious that Alexander has an uneducated view of the situation, but he does knows what he sees around him. I can relate to his plight. Personally I am mad about the noise from the airport, and I'd be mad about people up at all hours of the night keeping me up to. But thankfully we have alternatives, as adults, besides calling the cops to complain.

If you don't like what your neighbor is doing, just go talk to him. If he's growing for medical purpose and is on the up and up, he is going to want to hear your concerns and work out the problems you have with him. He's not a "criminal" nor is he "hiding" behind medical laws. That's like saying someone who owns a gun is "hiding" behind the second amendment. The reason he has to be secretive is because the harsh hand of the DEA. I'm sure he would rather have a real quality grow facility somewhere other then his home, but until the DEA stop doing what they are doing, he's stuck "hiding" in his house.

What the DEA is doing is ILLEGAL. Period. What is happening now is an abuse of power, just as what people were afraid the government would do with the Patriot Act. They are now using laws put in place to break up organized global crime syndicates back in the 80's to go after mom and pop landlords who have done nothing wrong.

Ya, the noise around your place isn't right, but neither is this. And I think we were all brought up knowing that 2 wrongs never make a right.
