Tyee, good work you are doing your job and Kudos to you...

Here in the NW I don't think it’s a water pollution gig. The bud we saw in Bellingham was top notch and from BC hydroponic plants. Those damn cows are a bigger deal up north as stated within this thread.

I did see the MSNBC story on NorCal pot operations and it is a big pollution deal. Giant generators in the middle of nowhere powering huge grow opps. Dumping oil and gas right into creeks and watersheds. Nasty.

Maybe we need to do what Amsterdam did years ago, accept the punishment for a couple years by legalizing drugs and prostitution and then enjoy the benefits in the long run, a society with less crime. Check out their crime logs and statistics in that country. After legalizing drugs and prostitution crime jumped and then dumped.

But then again, think about the ramifications and job loss of legalizing drugs here in the US. Mega job loss. The fight against drugs provides a lot of employment from lawyers to government growers.
