Calaveras County, CA…Dear Editor, This is concerning the cannabis growing issue. Perhaps we are making this issue more complicated than necessary. Isn’t cannabis growing a unique land use?

If so, the general plan and zoning code should provide for locations which do not adversely affect neighbors. The BOS could form a balanced committee under the Planning Director to propose General Plan wording which could be passed by a public measure or General Plan update.

No need for Sheriff involvement, unless there is a violation of the civil or criminal codes. Asking law enforcement to administer regulations has not worked very well.

Time for a fresh approach. Yes?.
