Subject: The proposed Medical marijuana restrictions are a bad idea
Hi,
Personally, I don't smoke the stuff,but having lived in the Oroville foothills for over 13 years now, I can tell
you crime WILL be absolutely RAMPANT if these new restrictions are passed. As it stands, there's safety in
"cooperatives" where several patients grow on one parcel. I know people who have been beaten up for their
plants, and if they limit the number of plants to the extent they are discussing, these "pot bandits" will just get
nastier and bolder, hopping fences to get what they can, by whatever means necessary. Older people that seem
to find relief from the medicinal properties of marijuana, for ailments such as arthritis, cancer, etc., will be the
easiest targets, for what can be some very vicious robberies, some may not even be able to cultivate their own
marijuana.
It was very quiet last year in this area, but if they pass these restrictions that will leave everybody to "fend for
themselves" as it were, people are going to get hurt, I just know it. The folks that are advocates for these new
laws clearly don't have to worry about the fallout that will occur in the areas where the problems are going to hit
the hardest. PLEASE consider what WILL be the result of what they are proposing.
Thank you for your time.
Zhenya

whatever it may be. If it is true that there is to be no haven of rest for them when their sufferings here are at an
end, I, for one, am not going to bargain for any heaven for myself. I shall go without fear where they go, and by
the side of my brothers and sisters from forests and fields, from skies and seas, lie down in merciful extinction
in their mysterious underworld, safe from further torments." -- Dr. Axel Munthe
