Looks like our neighbors in California are taking measures to conserve one of our most valuable resources — water.
What are we doing here in the “Pothead State” to conserve our water, I ask? Now that we have an official “Cannabis Chronicles” column in our newspaper I am hoping the leaders of this revolution will answer the problems of where and how the newly appointed czars of the dope agri-business will get their supply of our invaluable moisture.
As a taxpayer, I don’t intend to share one drop with them nor do I want to pay one extra penny for water so that their businesses might share. The water problem could necessitate sharing on a “priority basis” with other farmers and legitimate growers but I will never consider marijuana a legitimate business since there are many medicines that alleviate pain prescribed by doctors. It’s obvious that this horrendous business has no legitimate function except to make some greedy persons rich.
Will our state wake up to the dangers of where our water is going when the last drop falls? Or will it stop when the taxpayer gets hit with the water bill?
