REASONS TO VOTE 'YES' ON MEASURE B

A lot of people say they need 25 plants.

When they grow 25 plants or more it has a trickle effect. First they
grow it, and then they pay somebody to come in and trim it, including
all our children and grandchildren.

Now nobody wants to work for minimum wages. Trimming pays around $20
an hour. A pound sells for anywhere from $2,200 to $3,600, depending
on indoor or outdoor, and quality.

Wow! No wonder none of the up-coming generation wants to work. They
dry, package, and sell it to a buyer. Then that buyer sells it.

The final recipients are again our children and our
grandchildren.

You know it wouldn't be so bad if it stayed with adults; but our whole
community is infected with people trying to make a living by growing
marijuana. If all of us did nothing but grow, smoke, or sell
marijuana, there would be no other businesses. But if there were
businesses we couldn't find anybody to work for us.

I guess we could all just watch our crops grow.

Please help our children now before it is too late. Please vote June 3
Yes on B.
