Mendocino Code Enforcement Abates Multiple Sites With Between 4 to 85 Marijuana Plants

This is a press release from the Mendocino County Code Enforcement Division Department. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

Mendocino Code EnforcementIn the months of August and September 2021 the Mendocino County Code Enforcement Division conducted investigations regarding non-permitted commercial cannabis cultivation at the listed locations below in the Ukiah/Talmage areas. Any cannabis cultivation over the Medical or Adult Use exemption limit (as defined in Mendocino County Code Section 10A.17.030) is considered to be commercial cultivation. Please see the Mendocino County Code (MCC) Section 10A.17 for additional information.

Code Enforcement investigations confirmed that commercial cannabis cultivation was taking place at these locations without either a County Cultivation Permit or a State Cultivation License, and/or cultivation was taking place in violation of MCC Sec. 10A.17 requirements. It was determined that there were significant community quality of life concerns in these neighborhoods. The responsible parties abated the cannabis plants after Code Enforcement engagement.

8/11/21 – 200 Block of Laws Ave – 85 Cannabis plants abated

8/31/21 – 700 Block of Riverside Drive – 84 Cannabis plants abated

8/31/21 – 1700 Block of Talmage Road – 4 Cannabis plants abated

9/13/21 – 8200 Block of Feliz Creek Road – 80 Cannabis plants abated

9/20/21 – 1500 Block of Talmage Court – 84 Cannabis plants abated

 Code Enforcement intends to take additional action as needed to achieve compliance with any non-permitted structures at these locations.

The Code Enforcement Division receives all Cannabis and General Code Violation complaints within the unincorporated areas of Mendocino County. Complaints can be made by visiting our website at https://www.mendocinocounty.org/government/planning-building-services/code-enforcement and filing an online complaint. You can also file a complaint by email at codeenforcement@mendocinocounty.org, or by phone to (707) 234 6669. Cannabis specific complaints can also be filed by calling the Cannabis Complaint Hotline at (844) 421-WEED(9333)

Last time I checked 4 was less than 6. Must be more to this abatement they’re not sharing.

It is a common misconception that marijuana was “legalized”. It was not, not really. What did happen is it was REGULATED and TAXED in an attempt to deliver it to corporate and state CONTROL and profit. We were only allowed 6 plants under certain limited conditions. In this situation those conditions were not met and so even 4 plants becomes illegal. It is confusing to many because our group denial is so very strong that still many- even (perhaps especially) the media insists that we “legalized” cannabis and so we are more free and progressive and such crap. The repeated public insistence has led to much confusion. We did not ” Free Mary Jane” or ourselves. We handed an already existing multi-billion dollar industry (built by the underground public) to the corporate investors and the already-rich investment brokers while starving out the little people. And we celebrated this obscenity.

Because cartels definitely grow 85 plants. Yep that’s cartel numbers right there.
I seriously couldn’t be more disappointed in Mendocino. Glad I live in Humboldt where law enforcement concerns itself with *actual* cartels and environmental offenders.

Humboldt County code enforcement sent out an abatement for 6 plants which were totally legal to one of the cleanest properties I’ve seen a few weeks back. They just got a complaint and churned out a letter, sent it out without even doing their own research. It was very sloppy and careless work.

Humboldt is slightly less prohibitionist than Mendo, but only slightly… The fact that abatements have gone out to properties with tiny veggie greenhouses is evidence of Humboldt’s lack of support for rural families, and fear of very small grows.

Many of Humboldt County abatements are unnecessary and over the top. Code enforcement officials are assholes. That department doesn’t look out for residents, it works against them at every turn. Their abatement process is wrought with legal grey areas and they go after people who are being responsible and growing responsibly. Property owner should have some rights on their own property. Code enforcements strips those right rendering the parcel valueless. They suck

And you sound like you are just fine with the takeover of well, everything in the currently slanted game of “regulatory capitalism” that pushes everybody down while concentrating the wealth into the few hands of the already obscenely wealthy. America was not always like this and it does not have to be. But…people need to stand up, call it out and resist. [edit] In this case we had a brand-new industry entering the “legal” public space and we could have written it up almost any way we wanted. Hell- if people had courage we might still upset that apple cart! Instead we all simply folded and obeyed our masters, actually voting to be dominated… led to slaughter through dreaming and greeding and plain old stupidity…You’re one of the most intelligent and informative people posting here.

You would be wrong. Our governments are generally bought and paid for by corporate interests with the SC Citizens United ruling being the final nail in that coffin. We (the people) have allowed this by generally voting for the best liar in the race and we’re pretty much getting what we deserve because of that. If you tell the truth, you simply can’t win an election anymore.

On the other hand, I don’t want open roads with no rules and I enjoy being able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant with little fear that I will be poisoned from bad meat or have the roof collapse on me from a lack of building code requirement. Etc. etc.

I have very strong libertarian tendencies, but I also know that libertarianism works in the inverse to population and corporate densities.

What would a better solution look like Farce? If it’s legal, it’s not going to be workable for people in unfavorable areas, like us. You can legislate favorable details into the law like caps on production etc but it doesn’t change the basics- places with cheaper production costs are going to beat us every time. I don’t see how we could survive legalization, long term, no matter what. It doesn’t do any good to throw blame, it’s just the way it’s been going for a long time. If you didn’t see it coming you weren’t paying attention(as I’ve said many times before)

Yes, but not vegetables. There’s no permitting fee for the acres of food I grow. Or a limit to canopy size or plant count for corn or broccoli. Are you implying that cannabis is different somehow from other agricultural crops other than the money consumers pay for it?

Also, are you championing the extortion of my and other’s capital by those who did nothing to contribute to the production of those commodities?

// “Yes, but not vegetables. “//

The rules for growing and distributing commercial foodstuffs (including vegetables) to supply grocery stores and and restaurants are myriad. As a long-time resident of the Salinas Valley and a former employee of large vegetable growers there I’ve experienced these restraints first-hand.

You are told what land you can grow on and what land you can’t. You are told what fertilizers you can apply and in what quantities. You are told what you can spray and when.

You are required to wash them just so using prescribed chemical agents and water which is regulated and tested.

You must cool them to the prescribed temperatures before you can load them on the trucks to ship. They must be monitored via ‘strip tapes’ (now digital) en-route across the country. The trucks and drivers must be licensed, insured and undergo regularly scheduled safety checks. They can only travel at approved speeds on routes approved for their height/weight/etc. and must comply with rules regarding hours on the road, etc.

They must be tracked in lots so in case of a foodborne illness outbreak (listeria, etc.) they can be traced back to the source.

They must be prepared for meals in regulated, approved and inspected kitchens with cleanliness and safety standards for both premises and humans. This is true whether the process is for wholesale distribution (premixed salads, etc.) or end user retail (restaurants, etc.).

Any thought that one can participate in ‘above-ground’ commerce and not be subject to a ton of regulations is just naïve. Hell, we have to be specially licensed and get specific permission on any day we wish to spray our alfalfa hay fields – and that’s for horses.

// “Also, are you championing the extortion of my and other’s capital by those who did nothing to contribute to the production of those commodities?”//

Read my original statement again — it’s simply a statement of fact and isn’t championing anything. I’m merely welcoming those who aren’t familiar with the state of government regulation to the state of government regulation.

That’s why I specifically stated for “grocery stores and restaurants”, which is the equivalent of legally growing for dispensaries and edible producers.

The principle remains intact — the government heavily regulates industry – think of all the requirements a car manufacturer has to go through to sell a car, let alone the aircraft industry. You can’t go buy a cow, butcher it on your own in your backyard and then sell steaks in your store or restaurant. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Right or wrong, government control is everywhere, and claiming that cannabis isn’t “legal” simply because there are a bunch of silly regulations (and a few smart ones) that one has to comply with is just silly in and of itself. We certainly wouldn’t mock that driving isn’t ‘legal’ because of a driver’s handbook full of rules of the road that must by complied with.

Cannabis is legal — as long as you follow the (overdone) handbook.

That is completely inaccurate for my situation. We are an organic farm that does not use any chemical fertilizers or sprays of any kind. We wash our vegetables with water before placing them in cold storage and then they are trucked to stores or farmer’s markets. That’s it. The organic certification people come by once a year. Maybe. We’re not a corporate farm and those extra regulations you speak of are either not required or not enforced in this area. I’m sure it’s different down where you’re at.

Then you should continue to grow vegetable and not cannabis. This gives you a competitive edge on the vegetable growers in the Salinas Valley.

One of the keys to surviving in the free market is doing what fits best for your region considering all the variables.

(Btw, lack of enforcement is your biggest friend in your description — once a few people die from a mistake from washing and see how the enforcement changes.)

lol, you are right JB. Nobody in Humboldt should be growing cannabis only weed. Screw the legal market that thinks we should supply it for $300 a pound. When we can sell it for 5 times as much through non-legal channels. I say the triangle should get back to its roots and not have anyone apply for a cultivation permit. Sales are up on the legal side so who is it gonna effect if we all choose to not comply. Welcome to the war.

Here’s what I can’t understand — why do y’all traditional growers constantly complain about the ‘legal’ growers selling off the back dock?

This entire business has been stocked by outlaws for damn near a century. Why would outlaws not do outlaw things? It’s bred into the blood of this business.

I certainly can’t point guilty fingers at anyone who breaks silly cannabis laws in any way shape or form — marijuana outlaw since 1985 with the Fed incarceration # to prove it.

Fuck silly cannabis laws. Do what’s right for you. Use the system any way you can at whatever risk level you are willing to accept. If that means ‘back dock’, be ready for whatever comes your way (or doesn’t). If that means ‘straight arrow’, then live with the difficulties of that one as well.

// “Quit fucking crying!”//

From a post that’s nothing by crying about how the legal grows are peeing on your illegal cornflakes by doing what you do — something illegal.

All I say is “Don’t cry when you get busted — we all know the risks.”

I agree. The Triangle should continue with what it’s always done — playing to its strengths. With tiny exceptions, they simply will never be able to compete with the big central coast ag growers who can sell it for $300lb and make a crap ton of money doing it.

lol, you keep under estimating us. Until retail outlets sell ounces for $50 they don’t stand a chance against us. I got no issue with corporate pushing the per pound price to $300, $200 or even a $100 a pound cause we will be buying their assets for a dime on the dollar at auction. Remember JB what it takes to go from plant to consumer. We know what it takes and below $800 a pound and corporate will go bankrupt.

Here is one for ya JB. Marlboro recently purchased a company that makes inhalers. Now as the financial experts are dumbfounded as to why we are not. In recent studies using an inhaler to deliver cannabis is optimum for the customer according to surveys and the marketing big boys. Seems like a huge threat to our traditional type of operation but it is not. Another attempt to sway the consumer from smoking or burning the Trichomes. Sure, they will grab a huge share of the market but not ours. As you know the delivery method is still a body high to the user and the majority of consumers wanna be high in the mind. Nobody does a better job in producing a product that provides (the consumer) that “high” they seek than the dankness grown in the triangle.

Blessings JB.

No, you keep not paying attention to the context of my statements — I’m saying that *LEGAL MARKET* growers in the Triangle can’t compete with LEGAL MARKET growers on the Central Coast who can sell quite profitably for $300lb.

I specifically said that the Triangle growers should play to the same strengths they have played to for the last many decades — the traditional market. That’s the opposite of “under estimating”, that’s describing the market they should dominate.

I’m literally happy for my grower friends who are able to do well in the traditional market. Someone has to supply the East and I hope it continues to be y’all.

Nope — you really don’t know what it takes because you’ve never grown 100 acre plots on fertile flat ground with inexpensive ag inputs (ferts, labor, etc.) I personally know one of the bigger growers and his hard costs (with trimming) is <$65lb.

Now you and I would both call it crap weed, but he sells the fuck out of it at $300 and a giant corporate smile on his face doing it. He makes more money off that acreage than his remaining 8,000 acres of berries and peppers combined.

It may be that the department simply can’t communicate and they cut 4 plants, leaving the amount allowed by law.

But what a waste of time. Unless the objective is to ruin the small so the big may succeed.

I hope that next year EVERYONE grows weed. Why not? Many people growing right now have no concept of regulating product to maintain price, no department seems concerned about Oregon weed coming into CA, county and state totally destroyed any chance at having a good market for weed, , so let’s grow a ton and screw everyone up.

The abatements were illegal (a crime cannot be determined by satellite), and the fees are illegal according to the supreme court, Tubbs vs Indiana. I don’t like saying it, because I’m not usually spiteful, but fuck ’em.

We will never get ahead playing the Good Person. Unless some rational person actually runs for public office and gives the Man the finger.

Lack of compliance with county code can certainly be determined by satellite imagery. Got a greenhouse or outbuilding that there was no permit issued for, bam get a letter about it. I’m shocked that Mendocino County hasn’t started an abatement letter program. Sonoma and Humbolt did it no problem and it changed things very quickly.

A last gasp attempt at price support for the growers who bought protection in the form of a permit. Sad fact is that legal farms grow 3 times what California’s legal market can sell. The price drop is permanent, the price supports (busts) won’t help.

These are very small established long term resident personal grows. Very confusing considering some of the larger scale ops that seem to be ignored
