Joint Efforts to Repeal Marijuana Cultivation
A Blunt Problem, Up in Smoke
You can't grow marijuana at home, even If you live in Mendocino, California according to ballot results from Voters on Tuesday, which leaned towards repealing the state's twelve-year old law that allowed for home-grown marijuana.
In 1996 California voted to allow limited marijuana cultivation and possession for medical purposes, and in 2000, Mendocino--a rural county north of San Francisco--voted to let its residents grow up to 25 marijuana plants, compared with the state limit of six.
Right now, according to the county clerk, one third of the vote against the plant has been counted, with 52 percent in supported of a repeal.
Local law enforcement officers say they seized 334,000 marijuana plants last year.
"[The measure] doesn't target the problem of criminals growing," said a spokesperson for the campaign against repeal.
