Drive-by shootings, home invasion robberies and gang activity are all down. The greatest plus was that one could enjoy a peaceful fall evening outside without the skunk odor of maturing marijuana plants. I would like to continue to enjoy these rights. Measure H is needed to assist in enforcing Measure A. Marijuana is not an agriculture crop. Ag crops are healthy products like vegetables and fruit. Marijuana is a mind-altering drug. Medically, it doesn't cure any disease. It might make one feel better. Measures G and H are necessary for a safer community. Measure G does not allow marijuana growers to claim agriculture rights. As long as the federal government makes marijuana illegal, it is an illegal crop. Breaking the law makes one a criminal. Figure it out. Everett Gremminger Magalia - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
