Mendocino County Working Group Comments on CA Emergency Cannabis Regulations

I know we need to pay our representatives to represent us but we don’t have enough on our farm to pay our bills as it is. I’m asking that the amount we have to pay our representatives be calculated on our actual profits. I actually like the Mexican system better because it is more transparent. The guy with the biggest gun wins.

Please include a small farm (less than 10,000 sq ft) exemption process by setting minimum standards and letting local governments develop regulations that meet or exceed those standards. . These regulations are unworkable for the small farmer and will either drive them back to growing and selling illegally or will shut them down with catastrophic consequences to the economy of Mendocino, Humboldt, and Trinity counties. When the California voters passed Proposition 64, they did not intend to restrict cannabis farming to only large corporations who can afford to comply with these overly-burdensome and largely unnecessary requirements for small farms.

Please consider integrating these comments into Mendocino County's official comments to the State agencies. Thank you

The new onerous state regulations as properly herein petitioned, only add value to black market production. The state needs to determine exactly what specific outcomes they are seeking, i.e. craft and intelligent cultivation, or only big business or to continue to criminalize small independent citizens who have a dutiful right to participate in said industry they developed with their efforts of risk over five decades.

Thanks!!

The removal of the one acre cap is blatant bait and switch on the voters of this state. You lied to us, plain and simple. Do what you promised you would.

Smaller farmers need the love, dont let the corrporate world rule our sacred herb

I am a licensed cultivator in Mendocino

Small time is long time, Big time is short time.

Excellent work that I support by our local cannabis working group

The quality of medicine for patients is the most important thing, by allowing big argiculture of cannabis, the patients will suffer and the farms who really care about the land and people wont be able to make it in the industry.

keep the small farms alive!

I am saddened by the continual support of the legislature of rules that will only enable big agriculture to take over the only viable industry left for northern C.A. rural counties.

Keep small. How many times do we have to be reminded how quality, health and product suffer when made into large 'Walmart' style organizations

Please make it easy for small farmers to remain in business.

Give em hell gare!

C'mon now

William Byrne said it best. I agree.

we need the one acre cap to survive but all the requested changes are very important, please fight for us!
