This is a suggestion to the people who are trying to put together a new pot ordinance.
If the county, in its benevolent wisdom would designate a piece of county land that had access to water, as a place where people with a medical script for pot can safely grow their medicine it would remove the need for growing it in R1 neighborhoods.
The entire operation would be totally transparent. They would pay a small fee for the water, the security fence and cameras and a monitor to check people in and out.
Growers would be responsible for their own fertilizers and soil amendments.
They could use their own tools and techniques.
There might even be vacant farm land that could qualify as such a facility and the county would still run it and the owner be paid a fee.
Pot is an expensive commodity, so the fees would be gladly paid by medical growers if reasonable.
The way our county is laid out, though, there might be need for more than one plot.
The people who claim the need and care about the atmosphere of the neighborhood would cooperate.
The county would cooperate and show it has compassion for ill people with green thumbs.
