OP Ed ... folks they want you to vote in Legal Marijuana so they can sell more speed and heroin as the drug users will not shoot up unless Pot is around.
The Drug Cartel knows this and so they are busy ... I got this from the Lake County Sheriff today.
In our county alone it is close to 1,000,000 plants now they have taken down out of large commercial grow sites owned and operated by the Messicans and their gang bangers.
Oh .. BTW the Money is laundered through Corporate Cash Deposit Accounts.
They do NOT ship Tons of Money across the border when a wire transfer through the banksters is so much easier.
Just as it is easy to buy the President, Border Patrol and the Governors Office.
No THREE STRIKES law for the illegal messicans that kill us .. but for you and me who live here oh yeah we got that law.
Kate Steinly would still be alive to day if 5 time criminal repeat offender was put away on the third go.

Public Information Release
July 18, 2016
Lieutenant Steve Brooks, Public Information Officer
On July 14, 2016 the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit and law enforcement personnel from allied agencies eradicated 17,536 marijuana plants and arrested one subject.
The Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit conducted overflight missions in early April. The purpose of the overflights is to locate and identify illegal marijuana cultivation sites within Lake County. During the overflight detectives located two large scale marijuana cultivation operations on public land near Indian Valley Reservoir. Each site was estimated to contain several thousand marijuana plants.
On July 14, 2016 after months of surveillance, Lake County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Detectives along with law enforcement personnel from the Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service and the California Department of Justice, conducted an early morning arrest operation. The law enforcement personnel were split into two teams, which conducted their operations on both cultivation sites simultaneously.
During the arrest operation on the northern cultivation site, detectives encountered a Hispanic male adult, identified as Alvar Santis Alvarez of Bakersfield tending to the marijuana plants. Once Alvarez noticed law enforcement was inside the cultivation site, he attempted to flee on foot. Alvarez was apprehended moments later by a law enforcement canine. A second unidentified Hispanic male also fled the site and after an extensive search, could not be located. The grow site was located on Bureau of Land Management public land. The detectives noticed that the grow site was set up with a sophisticated gravity fed irrigation system, which was fed from a creek. They also located a cooking area with a camp set up for two occupants. The grow site contained 11,523 marijuana plants which were eradicated.
The second cultivation site located on the east side of Indian Valley Reservoir also contained two Hispanic male suspects who fled on foot during the operation. Detectives searched the area and were unable to locate the suspects. The cultivation site was also located on Bureau of Land Management public land and was set up with a sophisticated gravity fed irrigation system. Detectives said the suspects were pulling the water out of a natural spring. Detectives also located a cooking area with a camp which was set up for two occupants. A total of 6,013 marijuana plants were located and eradicated from the site.
Alvar Santis Alvarez was arrested for the cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and resisting arrest. Alvarez was transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked.
The Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit will continue its efforts to eradicate narcotics from the communities of Lake County and seize the suspected profits of drug trafficking for asset forfeiture whenever possible.
