'DON'T SIGN IT'

Re "Medi-pot rules finalized, maybe" (Downstroke, Feb. 13):

How about the Board of Supervisors meeting last Tuesday (Feb. 11)? 
The pot traders, users, buyers, growers, etc. were their usual rude, 
rowdy, selfish selves-shouting down others who do not agree with them.

How about the diatribe from Supervisor Steve Lambert? The board is 
supposed to be neutral, not favoring one side over the other. Not so 
with Lambert. Now we all know where he stands, and his favoritism is 
repulsive, especially when the "board" is supposed to be the 
caretaker of the whole county. Thank you, Andrew Merkel, for 
mentioning my name. I take it as a compliment.

By the way, has anyone read the initiative that's going around? It's 
just as confusing as the one last year. If you don't understand it, 
don't sign it-the same with the pro-pot petition.

We are in a severe drought right now. If the farmers don't have 
enough water for their crops to feed us, and we are all trying to 
conserve water, then why should the large legal pot growers get to 
use it all up?
