In 1996, Proposition 215 was proposed to decriminalize people growing and using medicinal marijuana.
More than a decade later, Arcata Assistant Fire Chief Ed Trigeiro is wondering why many of the area's 215 patients are still acting like criminals.

â?What we don't understand is, if these people are (growing marijuana) as a 215 grow, if it's legitimate, why aren't they doing it legitimately?â? Trigeiro asked. â??We see people that have their 215 letters on the walls claiming 215 grows, yet they're hiding them behind false walls.â?


A recent City Council meeting saw neighbors vent frustrations over the grows, with some expressing worries about the grows attracting criminal activity and others simply complaining about the smell.

Meanwhile, the April 4 meeting saw a rally of about 80 people threatening litigation if the city were to step between them and their 215 cards.

�The biggest thing we're concerned about is the safety factor,� Trigeiro said, adding that fires caused by poorly operated grows can damage adjacent properties and pose a serious threat to firefighters.

Growers with 215 cards don't need to hide in the shadows, Trigeiro said. They can call the fire marshal and request an inspection. The marshal will point out any improper wiring or other fire hazards, he said.

â?I grew up with my parents telling me how pointless and how stupid prohibition was,â? he said, adding that liquor still fires used to be commonplace. â??Now, we're living through another prohibition.â?




and that is from city officials folks!!
