Mendocino County Supervisors wrote a phoney legalization plan that left out one key element ; All of our Mom and Pop Cannabis Farmers: the local permitting process was a carefully orchestrated plan with intentions to sabotage the whole idea of getting our small farmers who are now being victimized and bullied by Sheriff Matt Kendalls’ Gang of Goons and thieves who are hellbent on stealing our local families bread and butter. Most of these high plant counts are very small greenhouses being grown for early (June-July) harvest “light dep”. Sheriff Kendall and County Code Enforcement are busting the very farmers who were purposefully left out of the game by the County’s intentionally failed “legal pot plan”. Now these farmers are being made victims by early morning paramilitary raids by men in army fatigues in military convoys and dropping out of helicopters and bashing down doors. Gates are bashed and broken, doors are smashed to the ground, children scream as guns are drawn and pointed on our local families you and I see everyday in our local shopping markets and restaurants and grocery stores. Now days every one is a criminal…
Why?
Because our elected Mendocino County Officials purposefully wrote hundreds of pages of cannabis cultivation ordinances which left all the farmers we now see getting busted out of the “Mendocino Plan”. Instead of putting a team in the field to streamline these farms into the legal process we now have an armed paramilitary team in the field instilling terror and fear in our communities with their early morning military raids on our local families. Call off toyr goons Sheriff Kendall! You were SELECTED Not Elected you big bully and jerk!
I do not consider a 2500, 3100, 4000 or a 12,000 plant farm “Mom and Pop’ operations.
But I do not support any military style operations to readicate those large farms necessary either.
I am curious how many plants you consider “Mom and Pop”?
I consider square footage more than plant count these days. I’ve know people who cram a thousand plants in a couple thousand square feet, I know others who spread 99 big uns over a quarter acre.
They are more like branches than plants. A normal plant has around 40+ branches. The “plants” they are chipping got like 8. Technically not really a plant.
Misinformed.
You get your “info” through the local rumor mill??
The Mendo cannabis cultivation code is NOT hundreds of pages!!
Never was.
Code Enforcement is Civil.
Has nothing to do with the MCSO or COMMET, unless County Code Enforcement calls for the support for safety risks.
Who’s seeing “Military” style raids for code abatement?? No one.
Why would anyone be surprised by COMMET doing what they’ve done for decades now?
Will rants in the comments of Kym’s site make the change you demand? Not likely.
Or is anyone going to supes meetings??
Or writing letters to the county supervisor or state legislator?
Will your desired alterations actually solve any real problems??
Doesn’t sound like it to me.
Sounds ALOT like someone who has been hell bent on working outside any kind of law or code compliance and now, suddenly, to be legal has to bring everything up to code.
Just like everyone else. You are not special.
I have several canna clients who whine my ear off with this crap every week.
Boohoo…you have to meet the same regs that every other biz has had to meet for many many decades.
And I have even more that don’t, all Mom & Pop’s.
Get over it and get a license or get a job or get more creative.
If you’re mega anti-government and call any licensing an afront to freedom…you’ll never be satisfied.
That little piggy cried all the way home.
…till the supes code abated them into bankruptcy, took their property in lieu of unpaid fines & taxes, & auctioned it off.
Kendall may have been appointed but he’s doing the same thing Allman did w COMMET.
He has a mandate to enforce the law, especially when complaints are called in.
Non-fiction: It only seems natural that a “cannabis consultant” would make a comment like yours. You want to know what I have called your ilk since you showed up? PARASITES. Paper-pushing box-checkers who skim money off of the labors of honest hard-working people. Government appeasers and fascist enablers. Sell-out bitches. And yeah- that thing they called their fellow Frenchmen when the Nazis took over, y’know the traitorous cowards who snitched on the good people in the French Resistance….the lowest form of human there is- Collaborators.
PS Been here a loong time before any legal weed options.
Unlike most, I didn’t come here for your “precious”, valued above all else, weed.
Who’s the parasite?
Much more likely is in your wheelhouse as you kids produce delicate consumables for a black market that is eating this community alive. It’s not the 70s or 80s anymore.
Your all in bed with the Norcal and Central American cartels whether you like it or not.
While I design & produce legal hardened and resilient long lasting assets daily that will be around long after your “farms” lay fallow.
I just hope there’s still some topsoil left after you’re done sucking the life out of the natural community.
Your welcome to your own opinions but the facts and supporting substance continue to elude you boys.
[edit]
Thanks, you prove why I do what I do! Sad, anyone gives you money for your help, I guess, help? Fuck Legal!!!
Exactly. Craigs little game of “consultant” is fucking ridiculous.
Hahaha. Try again.
No canna consultant here boys.
Way off. Try again.
1 detail doesn’t inform the whole picture.
Gonna need a good bit more rigor to nail down the facts.
Maybe the whole point is just lost on you guys: it’s real easy to presume and jump to conclusions. Did you miss that?
Both have provided plenty of evidence here to attest to that.
All little misinformation goes a long way to nowhere.
Good luck w that dead horse.
The rules are the rules. Deal with it or risk the consequences.
Vilifying me won’t change that and I didn’t make the rules.
I for one hope the bad actors get shutdown.
And that the big corps are restrained from environmental and economic predation and destruction.
Don’t be crappy to Craig cuz he ain’t here.
“I have several canna clients” you stated. As I said, shame anyone gives you money. Fuck Legal!
Exactly…Clients who happen to grow cannabis.
Doesn’t come close to making me a cannabis consultant.
By your standard a doctor is a cannabis consultant bcuz their clients rant about cannabis.
Is the propane delivery driver a cannabis consultant now too, bcuz they have clients who grow cannabis commercially?
Wtf? Wow!
Please, do the math, It’s rather elementary.
Yes, that’s right, there are Other people in Other industries & professions who have clients too.
AND their clients may be involved in the cannabis industry.
I swear it’s true.
Understand?
Heard of Confirmation Bias?
The shame is all yours.
Your spiraling…
Is excruciatingly obvious that a whole lot More Imagination and Powers of Deduction are needed to couple with a whole lot Less Presumption and Fuzzy (smokey haze) Logic in order for SOME few people to understand my words.
Sorry about that luck. Wah. I know, it’s sad… No roast beef, all the way home.
I didn’t create, nor do I perpetuate your issues…that’s a personal problem.
Nonetheless, good for you LL, as we do very clearly agree on 1 thing, that I must applaud with great satisfaction & joy:
That I likewise wouldn’t take a cent from you if you begged me, NOR, were I destitute, assist digging you out of the sh*thole you’ve so fervently dug yourself into.
When, not if, they come for your “Precious”, I’ll kick back w some popcorn, crack a beer, torch a doob, & watch the show.
Then I’ll just go about my biz.
Maybe a day or so later we can all read the report here.
Yeehaw mfrs!
Until then, please do enjoy the “life” of looking over your shoulder, slinking around in the shadows, stealing & polluting water, shuting out wildlife, having halfass work done by unlicensed “contractors” (wasting valuable resources), evading taxes, and serving up the community to int’l narco-cartels.
That’s a real proud icon to celebrate. 🤧
I’m sure any children in your life will love you dearly for the experience forced upon them, especially later when old enough to think for themselves…(sic)
It’s who you choose to surround yourself. You do not understand our world as much as you think. You most certainly will never get a dime from me. Greed was never my motive for growing the plant nor is it for anyone I know. I don’t have friends or family that destroy the environment to grow the plant we love.
Our kids are doin fine getting degrees in environmental sciences, all of them. I am one of those kids. I am degreed and held a proffessional career while growing. Continued to buy land and expanded our grow operations into many states. We don’t look over our shoulders. We run a highly skilled operation is all I will say and we been doin it for decades.
Your negative stigma of us reeks dude and you got a lot of shit in your sandbox. It’s our plant and your precious government has oppressed the people I love for to long. I promise I will drain every fucking legal penny til the law is repealed. My eyes see a people who have been fighting a war against our way of life and until you have lived it your words mean nothing.
actually cannabis has some of the most expensive regulations of any industry and a higher fail rate, im not even including the exorbant repetitive taxation that is just criminal. And out of all of this cannabis is a billion dollar industry in California, held a lot on its back during the pandemic when everything was shut down. Guess what, a lot of that comes from here SO SHOW SOME RESPECT.
When I was 10-12 years old CAMP in Humboldt was kicking in doors after jumping from helicopters. I was traumatized and so were the grownups, especially my Vietnam Veteran neighbors who already suffered from PTSD.
As I got older the game changed but never have the effects they had on me.
What sort of evidence can constitute probable cause for a warrant? Neighbor calls in presence of hoop houses? Smell?
Drone footage. Google earth. Either of those with clear cuts, stream blocks, neighbor complaints of fucked up half alive walking, wounded wildlife. strewn garbage, hella hoopies there ya go. Previously busted, crimes on site. Heavy traffic, soil, water loads. Abandoned large un finished 215 permits at site…among many other issues.
Go price support go!!! I love seeing the sheriff finally go after the black market!!!! By by to all you greedy grow dozer loving non tax paying whiners. Also the ones saying the permit process is too hard are the greedy whiners that dropped out…… working on out third permit they take 18 months if you know what to do and who to hire for your assessments.

Hooray for the flower police!
Haha ha haha haha….. clearly you’re washed by misconceptions. The percentage of farms that get raided over a season is so non detrimental to the market “legal or not”. Also if the “legal” market is so good, why does 90 percent of “legal farms” push “product” in the “non legal” market?!?! Please go back to wherever you came from.
Lotta places have two sets of books. One for the tax man…one for reality.
May all your farms be infested by the new weed virus currently plauging Monterey and you return to the shithole you came from with your tail between your legs
what new weed virus?
Hop Latent Viroid .
No treatment, no cure.
They will also use military weapons to rob you at home and are all connected to a vast police criminal network. I have extreme evidence of the police in Humboldt raping children and stealing weed to have their family members sell it. The weed is leaving Humboldt. You can tell by the business in eureka all Shutting down. They thrive on child porn and child theft and use the police network to further their criminal agenda.
I like the $200 per plant spanking on non-permitted over the legal 6. The tax relief would be great. Instead of putting the strain on the working stiff ,let the dope growers fund some stuff. And yes I’m speaking of the dope heads that are selling black market without paying tax’s on that product while using all the services our tax dollars pay for. Also no wa wa wa wa we pay sales tax!, no shit , everyone does.
Haha ha, so many of you are blinded…. so what percent of these “fines” will actually be implemented and collected on? Also where will the allocations be awarded to on what little will be paid? County is still spending more to “bust and raid” than they are in receiving payments from such said fines.
County will take the property after a reasonable period of non-payment, just like with unpaid property taxes.
County will recover whatever they can from the auction and any leftover proceeds will be provided to the former owner.
Yes they will and sell it back to us for a dime on the dollar. If ya only knew it’s fuck’in hilarious. Got popped and was 5 years behind had an outstanding loan for 300k and defaulted. Paid 210k at auction and here we go again…lol….🎶and the beat goes on…La…De…Da…De….Da….Da🎶 Fuck Legal!!!
So proud to default. Must be a good grower and businessman to be behind for 5years. Being proud to not pay bills is the problem with society now.
It happens, hospital bills and legal fees is what brought me down. Just tryin to be a capitalists like Trump.
I’m reading all of this and I didn’t see a single thing showing that anyone was actually arrested. Isn’t this exactly how the last raid went? Don’t you guys have questions about this? If you don’t then this is why there’s something wrong and Mendocino County
If you want to drive a car you get a license. If you want to open any business you get a licence. If you want to grow commercial cannabis, you get a license. No magic in any of that. People get licenses every day for all kinds of work.
The financial penalties for unlicensed activities will eventually make the unlicensed work unprofitable. It’s only money. The business of cannabis farming is like all other farming. The days of bootlegging will soon be over and decent cannabis farmers can simply get on with their work.
A farmer invests in the land and the crops. Hires farm hands, buys machinery and so on. It’s just a business. No need for AR-15s if you are growing tomatoes. No need for them if you grow cannabis either.
Mendocino County is failing to offer farmers reasonable means of obtaining a license. Mendocino License requirements do not match those of the state. Cannabis Farmers have few other options as permits are simply “un-available”. Call and write the Board of Supervisors and demand these Terroristic Clandestine Raids end immediately!
Permits are not “unavailable”. Some may not qualify based on zoning and other parcel specific details.
No county’s licensing requirements match those of the state. The state licensing requirements don’t address land use issues, That’s the domain of counties and municipalities.
Right. Zoning is the purview of Planning departments
That’s why people on forestland in Humboldt could get licenses. None of us in Mendocino County ever could- we were cut off at the knees from day one. Legal my ass. We will overgrow the corporate takeover and they will never enslave and chain our sweet Mary Jane
Land use designations can be some of the most frustrating to deal with and can seem (and be) arbitrary.
We’ve got some in our county that make zero sense, and yet get enforced with gusto.
Nah thats not correct Clive. Im currently invested in a large ( 4.5million) operation that provides landscape services to clients in the bay and santa barbara. The whole operation as Ive recently discovered is based on the illegal labor market continuing to provide laborers. Guess my brother in law is a real patriot. This isnt the first time Ive seen illegal labor working under an organization with no business license or workers comp and raking it in. Its the American way and based on the business we do with Canadians and Euros its common there too. So dont assume big business is licensed and paying taxes. Theres a good chance they arent.
SHORTJOHNSON From my experience working in large corporations they do indeed pay taxes. One might argue not enough but that is beside the point. It is legitimate to avoid taxes but not to evade them.
I have written nothing about “illegal” labor so I think you have strayed from the subject.
Getting licenses is always a tedious business but many aspect of running a business are tedious. The profit you make from the business is the reward for dealing will all of these things. It’s work.
Cannabis farming is in a state of transition. Previously, the farmers operated outside of the law, which often brought all kinds of unpleasant things along with it. Now it is possible for the farmers to operate within the law. However, the law has rules and there are taxes too, like most things.
It is no surprise that this is a big shock to people who have been operating, in an unfettered manner, outside the law. Change is hard and it disrupts livelihoods. Not all cannabis farmers will successfully make the transition.
Whining and moaning about change is natural but not productive. A better solution is to find land that meets the legal requirements to farm cannabis, get the licences and permits as needed, and get on with the business of farming.
It would behoove cannabis farmers to look toward how wine is produced. There is a federal tax of $1.57 per gallon on wine which is paid for by the proprietor of the bonded wine premises who removes the wine from bond for domestic consumption or sale. When the federal government makes cannabis farming legal one can expect some similar arrangement.
Hoe road ain’t in Albion.. that’s deep Comptche
Is it sovereign on Albion ridge that got tagged?
I consider Mom& Pop gardens to be 10-20 plants, yielding, 10-20 lbs. it’s incomprehensible why the counties won’t issue permits for this reality. Ppl wld happily pay for a permit & pay taxes on each lb. AND-gardens this size are ZERO threat to the commercial industry. What’s the big woop? A chopper just now flew over my “garden”, which has 1 kiddy pool & 2 plants.
Ummm…that is an obtainable permit.
Anyone here actually read the ordinace?
It’s available online @:

Not in Humboldt, I applied , but was told that you must have 5 acres.
Exactly. Craigs little game of “consultant” is fucking ridiculous.
Over grow the Mendocino County Planning Department! Over grow the Mendocino County Sheriff Department!
Over Grow Mendo Campaign 2021 has began! Fuck Legal!
I think there will always be an incentive to break laws and folks will find the same areas as usual.
The county and the state are mandated to carry out the will of the voters. The voters said that 20% of cannabis taxes are to go to law enforcement. Let’s be clear, California will have more funds for law enforcement than most countries around the world will have for their military. This won’t just be helicopters for everyone. It is already funding non cannabis things like AI cameras in Riverside to the tune of 78k a year. A camera so smart it solved a bank robbery by finding a tattoo on the forearm of a driver making a turn 1 mile from the camera one week before the crime. We now have the funds to build a police state. Do you think in a decade when they have eradicated cannabis they will tell the officers to pack up and go find a new job? The cannabis community is a marginalized community that is getting discriminated against. Due to being marginalized and wanting to be given rights they are excepting this discrimination. During this process regulators and law enforcement are crossing boundaries and it is already carrying over to regular agriculture and law enforcement. Once regulators have cannabis in line do you think they will lay off the staff too? Could you imagine growing strawberry’s and the county saying all the property lines on your group of parcels can’t have berries within 50 ft of your property line. Even though you now lost production and increased labor to manage unusable land you must still pay the taxes. You think cannabis farms are the only ones that are going to end up with 60 inch culverts in 12 month a year dry ditches. The water board is setting up shop in our communities. They say they are not here for cannabis. They are coming here anyways and if we do not comply they will take our land. We have hundreds of millions of dollars piling in funds just for law enforcement, from less than 1k retailers. We used to have 14k retailers. We can shut down the prisons because the fine system is here to stay. If you J walk in China 20 seconds later you will be notified on your phone about the fine deducted from your bank account. Sacramento showed a more refined version of the fine system. In one sweep the initially spent under 700k and brought in 13 million. They included the feds and let them take 100 houses. Everyone got their share. Once the dust settled they made substantially more. The fines will be very profitable but will it match the income they will make off of our data they collect on us?
// “A camera so smart it solved a bank robbery by finding a tattoo on the forearm of a driver making a turn 1 mile from the camera one week before the crime.”//
Until shown otherwise, I’m calling urban myth.
I want to know why the fines were only applied to the Albion grows? Why didn’t the Covelo properties get fined as well?
My guess is it has to do with scheduling and lead agency. When planning and building is on site they are a fine bases agency whereas Sheriff will fine later and often add criminal charges too. You can kinda think of Planning and Building as civil and Sheriff as criminal and then the DA works out the criminal charges and the fine system. Mendo was the originator of the fine system. It just had to be modified because it cut the Feds out and they got pissed. This fine system is very effective and will also be more freely used in all aspects of code and law enforcement.
If you have the funding to keep buying up land here and in other states then you have the resources to permit your scenes in Mendo and Humb. So I call major BS.
We already know you’re more than happy to default on a $300k loan only to turn around and pay $210k out of pocket to retrieve same said property and then joke about it.
Your judgement of anyone’s ethics or values is HIGHLY suspect, short sided, quite presumptuous.
Can you say “Myopia”?
You don’t know shit about myself except a few statements I’ve made, here.
A statement of fact doesn’t give much insight into the speaker.
And your flights of fancy, i.e. unsubstantiated leaps to conclusions without basis doesn’t mean much of anything except to point out the bias and lack of substance for the claim made by the one making the leap.
For someone as educated as you “claim” to be it’s more than surprising how easily you take bait & jump to conclusions about others and somehow think you have even the slightest iota of another persons ethics or intentions.
Curious how you may employ the same methods in your scientific pursuits.
Confirmation bias looks to be a real issue for you.
Even more so when your misinterpretations are pointed out and you double down.
These leaps you make are anti-thetical to any scientific background, awareness, or expression.
Any bias needs serious examination.
Stigma denotes an “unfair” branding.
Again I call BS
My “issues” against criminal activity that causes harm to the commumity and creates real victims, that cascade through their families, is very true. Absolutely.
But, any projection by you of my “stigma”, as you call it, against all weed or weed growers is an intenionally fabricated falsehood. Which stinks far worse.
Your defense of cartel grows getting busted places you directly, within my view, as a very real & significant part of the problem.
Your BS likely emboldens other serious bad actors.
You seem to see endless implication in what some others say that just isn’t there.
Particularly how you’ve try to corner myself with your bias.
I’ve lived far more of “the life” than you’re willing to imagine, pre medical forward.
And I probably see a LOT more grows than you or most avg weed growers do, on site and close-up.
My negative view is toward anyone with such presumtion and a profoundly narrow view of anything beside their own lot…AND for the whiners who are more than capable of meeting the legal rigors but refuse and keep right on complaining…..
AND for defending the busting & removal of CARTEL grows.
A real shame.
It’s a big wide world and there’s a lot more to it and value in it than your little weed bubble.
I say it’s time to grow up.
Good luck w all that money grubbing LL.
I hope the FBI gets you gang with guns and badges.You should be prosecution to prison.Enjoy your time.I can’t wait for the day you get busted.
