Copperopolis, CA…Recently the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution supporting Kindness Week. This is a good thing. However, at a previous meeting, they passed a ban on commercial cannabis farming. Also, they stopped the proposal to let the public express their opinion. To me, although I don’t like cannabis, it seems that threatening an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 peaceful farmers who contribute to a large portion of our economy does not seem consistent with kindness week.
What would be best now? Perhaps the county should repeal the ban and allow the extensive state cannabis regulations to work. Growers would still be subject to the county land use regulations and would need to obtain a business license in order to apply for the state permit.
Perhaps, it is not too late to be kind.

Be kind for what? The deal is already done!
No, it’s not a done deal. The courts will decide this. The voters will get rid of alleged elder abuser, raw sewage spewing, school fee evader, and all around useless D5 disgusting supervisor Clyde the Clapp. D5 deserves much better representation and they’ll have it in June.
To anonymous-it ain’t gonna fly! I don’t think the growers are kind in terms of respecting our county’s environment and other things!
