There we go, thank you ShadWsFrms. I changed addresses thus the need to re-register. I'm going to do it in person..

Well, it's going to be another rough summer in Yuba County!

Why is it that the MMJ community just can't get their act together in this county and defeat this evil Buck Weckman?

If you didn't vote, well, what's that old saying?...You get what you paid for!

I don't think it's the lack of the community participating, but rather the overwhelming amount of uneducated, FOX News watching, government assistance draining, massively overweight Yubaians. Its just the same as Butte, which we saw had pretty much the same exact results as Nov '14 even with the newly codified ICFA. Its systemic within these counties - the few thousand growers can't outmatch the tens of thousands of uneducated, or under-educated, population. Not even with a fairly well-driven and well-funded campaign; ignorance, bias and jealousy are hard to overcome.

Bleed the county to death is how you defeat them. Keep growing.

A bunch of wussy resident full time growers up here and than add the numerous out of town and out of staters that shit in our community that helped ban cultivation here in Yuba
I personally know of a group whom will be taking matters into their own hands and will be "persuading " out of towners and out of staters to shut down and move and they will not be given a lot of choice in the matter

 

[Stone House]

Yep, out of the area growers and tweaker grows have soured most all my neighbors.
When they left after being visited by code enforcement they moved.
I visited a few nearby sites and the way they left their grow area made me sick..... they literally RAPED the land.
I also agree many of the residents just don't understand the economic potential for the counties and local businesses from taxes/proceeds of legal grows.
The most ridiculous thing is many of the anti-pot crusaders enjoy their booze but believe it's ok because they weren't brainwashed to believe it's bad for you like they were for marijuana.

I'm what you would call an "out of the area grower." I drilled a well, keep my place as clean as a park. The guy next door, been there since the eighties, has a pipe across my property that takes water from a very little creek. If I turn him in, I might as well invite the county to come inspect my place. Would like to use the lower part of the property I own, but afraid to do it because I would have to run my perfectly legal waterline over his horrible creek sucking line. He rents out his place to out of town people who have no skin in the game. The 'out of town" generality thing bothers me. A lot.

Sorry, I shouldn't have used the term "out of area".
Most people around my area actually embrace new neighbors that grow as long as they are good neighbors and treat the land with respect. If they buy the land and improve it even better.
Just like in town your neighbors effect property values.
I should be more specific and not generalize, but on the hill I live on most of the damage was on leased/rented property by people that had few professional growing skills. In almost all these grows there was no house, no toilets. They take turns oldwest style blasting their guns at night like a pissing contest, drive on our one lane gravel road like they were on an L.A. freeway.
And yes we also have neighbors that have lived here forever that have trash everywhere, broken stripped cars, no/few teeth and are totally spun out.
My point was these are a few of the reasons why the general public voted against anything to do with medical grows.
Thankyou for being a good steward of the land, if all grower were like you/me I believe more people would be open to grows in their neighborhoods.

So got a fucking ordinance letter. Going to meet with charnel James tomorrow. This is my 7th season at my place and have never had a problem with anyone. My garden is well hidden and my only neighbor loves me. My plants are like 8' tall and insanely beautiful. Literally makes me sick to my stomach thinking about cutting them down. Has anyone had any luck fighting this? If I file a law suite against the city can we stall the inspection out? Or just cut and replant after inspection? Heard they've been going crazy blanketing the area. So bummed

 

[Rolling Stoner]

That really sucks Chocolate. Think I recall in this thread from last summer that some peps might have been able to stall long enough to get in a harvest.

Over here in Placer county, after 9 months of the BOS saying they were drawing up laws for regulation/taxation, the did an about face last week and announced out of the blue they plan on banning outdoor...It really is like we are going back to the 80's.

Best of luck to you brother.

Mr. Choco--you should go see Charnel and see what she's advising these days. The way it worked for me last year was I got my first gate note in May, letter in June, then they came out and cut my lock in mid september, I think it was...from then on it's $100/day per plant. Even though they say it's "neighbor complaint" driven it's really helicopters so, there's not much point in cutting now, showing them and, then replanting unless you just replant 2' plants in Mid August and hope for a really modest harvest.

Truth is for Yuba County our only hope is to get off our asses educate people and get them committed to voting in November.

In Placer County they reversed the "placeholder ordinance" 2-3 vote. That totally stinks. I wonder how they're going to enforce it though--Yuba had months to allocate funds for an mmj ordinance team....and it's very nearly July and Placer County is blowing it up like no other county this year lol

There still isnt an actual ordinance that passed- that last 2-3 vote was just to direct county staff to start coming up with a new restrictive ordinance. Ever since last december they had said it numerous times that the new ordinance will not go into effect until january 1st 2017, so this year in placer is ok.

My lawyer seems to think there's still hope for placer and he thinks we can sway one of the supervisors back to our side before this new ban ever takes place, but I'm still really worried about it, i really dont want to have to pack up and move.

 

[furrywall11]

It seems you're right. I've been chased out of so many counties by morons I just had a knee-jerk reaction to the headline I read today.

I met with Charnel yesterday. She made me feel better. Got over the initial panic but trying to decide what route to go. She seemed pretty confident that if i cut down and schedule an inspection then replant i won't be fucked with again. Or fight it and see if we can drag it out past fall and then hopefully it will be a new ball game after november anyways. I realllllllly don't want to cut down my plants. They are huge and beautiful and i think past the point of transplanting
But growers need to come out and vote. If we would of won A i would be in a whole different position right now thats for sure. And i know theres enough of us out there

I got a gate visit then received a letter in late May and another letter approximately three weeks later - so be prepared if you don't respond to get a follow-up letter. I don't know if its sound advice to chop and invite them on - the county should have to spend the money and time to establish issues exist and go through the correct process to address the issues. We shouldn't be giving them free passes.

She made it sound like she has a pretty good working relationship with them. And once she is in contact with them they can't just come and blitz you with a surprise inspection warrant and if they do end up giving an inspection then one of charnels representatives has to be present so they can't snoop around anywhere but the complaint area. I'm definitely going to do anything i can to not chop. But if we find an inspection is inevitable then might as well have them out at the best time that works for me to replant as soon as they are gone. I agree with you though and it feels legit violating thinking of being forced by a stranger to do anything in my own home

Did they ever make you chop?

 

[TriSierra]

I like Charnel and I am a client of hers, but after your initial visit with her its very hard to get a qualified response from her - most of the time you are working with one of her paralegals. Or at least that has been my experience.

It would be interesting to know how many of these 'fishing' letters Code has sent out?

Code haven't been able to access my property via an inspection, so I haven't chopped as they haven't established I am out-of-code. When Code visited my gate, they spent a half-hour just sitting there and then went to talk with the neighbors to ask them if they could confirm that I was growing. Ironic because the neighbors have several hundred plants.

Best of luck.

Yeah i am looking at charnel as more of a mediator between me and the county. Let her buy me time till I'm ready and then escort them on my inspection so they don't go snooping. Think my best option is to just chop and replant more numbers. At that point if it is a bullshit complaint they probably aren't coming back and i won't have to worry about as much. I'm probably going to literally cry my eyes out chopping my plants though. Pretty sure there were going to be some 20lb'rs this year. Anyone have any luck transplanting monster plants in the ground? Wondering if they are worth trying to move or it will be too much stress?
Also welcome any PM's. Would really be stoked to find a bunch of healthy teens

 

[furrywall11]

TriSierra..yeah, same experience..after initial visit she's just so busy with dozens of emergencies it's very hard to get a hold of her.

FYI, when they finally cut down my gate chain and rolled up it was with two code enforcement officers, basically desk jockeys with bullet proof vests, two sheriffs and, two dudes who honestly looked like Black Ops or something. They searched every square inch of my ten acre property. The "inspection warrant" they bring specifies they can search everywhere, including inside your vehicles. You can also expect a sheriff or two to be on your ass, following you around the whole time they're there, which is will be hours. The excuse is they want to be sure you don't go for a gun or something.

 

[Sunfire]

Charnel fucked off the big year long case in yuba. She failed to follow basic california rules of court and file basic responses within the deadlines. She is upsetting many people here and in butte. Turns out other lawyers have said she has a long tme standing record of doing similar things. I would highly advise not wasting your money there.

If a warrant iS served inspect it. Make sure the name and address is correct and it's actually signed by a judge. The locations to be searched can not be vague and omnipresent. They need to specify atleast structures or vehicles. It can't just say "the whole property." Video tape everything, you have that right. Unless yur in handcuffs they can't legal stop you.
