BAN CANNABIS IN SANTA BARBARA'S BEAUTIFUL NOJOQUI FALLS CORRIDOR FOREVER

I am not against Cannabis, I make brownies with the leaves- but the farms do not need to be everywhere. One reason is the smell, another the water.

Just say NO. Enough is enough. Don't waste precious water on cannibis and don't ruin the beautiful valley.

Ban cannibis!

Most of CA is in the midst of a major drought. We have all been asked to cut our water usage significantly. To take resident efforts at conservation and offset that with large scale cannabis farming is ludacris. Cannabis farming requires a LOT of water either from stream diversion or wells. Well use by cannabis farms may contribute to long-term stream flow depletion. The current understanding of the interplay between well location, depth, and underlying geology on stream impacts is still in its infancy. Furthering understanding is not something that should be risked in the midst of historic drought. While some might argue that cannabis has minor medicinal benefit, it offers nothing that is crucial to survival - unlike farms that produce food. Please vote against allowing commercial cannabis farming in the Nojoqui Falls Corridor. (Personally I think the farms should be banned in all of California. Other states that aren't in the midst of drought are far better situated for optimal growing.)

Please ban commercial cannabis in Santa Barbara's Nojoqui Falls Corridor. Our family is concerned about the risk to the watershed and the environmental impact of having such a business in an ecologically sensitive area. Please do not approve the development of these large cannabis projects!

There are plenty of projects throughout the state I think one area without them would not hurt the state at all and I think because of the watershed and the needs of the people that are there already the projects should be banned

Food before marijuana and wine grapes. We don’t have enough water for all of it!

Stop the Cannibus projects

Don't allow or permit these stinky projects to be built in our 24th District to bring down our property values.

Enough cannabis farms already!!!! There are WAY too many in SB county as it is. Stop it already. We don't have the water and don't want the smell and the taint from it.

I don’t actually live in Santa Barbara, but I am a member at the SB ZOO and visit the Falls snd the area around it frequently. Please don’t force this Cannabis product cultivation in this fragile area.

We do not want this project anywhere near the Santa Ynez Valley.

Skunk free bluberries

I’m not opposed to Cannabis in general, but this is just the wrong spot at the wrong time…

Cannabis is a beneficial product but this is not the place for a pot farm! Please don’t allow cannabis farms in the Nojoqui Falls Corridor!

please preserve the area for dryland farming.

Don’t be ridiculous, we need real food to be able to grow in Santa Barbara’s Nojoqui Falls Corridor without the worry of commercial cannabis taking the precious limited water supply.

Keep some areas pristine and natural! Too many pot shops in Lompoc and making us want to leave the state!

PLEASE BAN COMMERCIAL CANNABIS IN SANTA BARBARA'S BEAUTIFUL NOJOQUI FALLS CORRIDOR WHY? There are many good reasons. Start with water- without it, nothing else matters. REASONS TO BAN CANNABIS: -Increased Water Use and Decreasing Rainfall -Local Food Security -The Affect of Odor on The Corridor -Vehicle Traffic in The Corridor -Crime and Long-Term Business Viability -Property Values and Ecosystem Conservation Thank you very much.

Would hate to see farmers negatively impacted by this. Love the blueberry farm and the wonderful and unique opportunity it gives kids and adults the chance to pick their own fruit. Not many places to do that anymore. Our farmers deserve all the help we can give them to survive and hopefully thrive in these turbulent times.
