I am appalled at the fear mongering by the "No on Measure D" campaign. This outrageously inflammatory flier urging a no vote on Measure D should be enough to make people vote yes instead.
The front cover of this "Reefer Madness" piece states that Measure D puts the safety of residents at risk and it shows a hooded burglar breaking into a house and a pregnant teenager buying marijuana. Neither visual image has anything to do with Measure D, which simply places reasonable limits on the number of medical cannabis plants that individuals and collectives can grow on various sized parcels. Currently, there are no county limits, only statewide guidelines.
The back cover shows men with guns in a recently planted and poorly tended marijuana field in South America, which has nothing to do with Measure D. Measure D limits the growing of medical marijuana in Lake County.
Inside, there is a picture of a man standing in front of a large and crowded agricultural field of hemp (not medicinal marijuana) in the 1920s in Iowa. The absurd caption says: "This could be the view out your back window if Measure D passes." But, Measure D states that all cultivation must be "screened from view." I can assure you that you won't be seeing any Iowa hemp farms out your back window if Measure D passes.
This way over-the-top no on D flier claims that Measure D expands cultivation into residential neighborhoods. But, it's growing in neighborhood backyards now, what
Measure D does is limits the size of the gardens.
The flier claims that Measure D allows for the sale of drugs from homes. Measure D does no such thing, it is merely a zoning ordinance limiting the numbers of cannabis plants patients and collectives can grow.
It also claims that it allows cannabis to be grown close to public schools, but in fact Measure D specifies that, in accordance with state law, no cultivation may be conducted within 600 feet of public or private schools.
Some have expressed environmental concerns about Measure D, but these concerns are baseless. Measure D provides that all county ordinances must be followed and specifically permits the county to pass a companion ordinance providing for fees and inspections "to ensure that all county ordinances are complied with."
I urge people to vote yes on Measure D, for reasonable, workable regulation of medical marijuana cultivation in Lake County. Please don't be fooled by the misleading campaign piece from the no on D campaign. Don't be fooled by slick
