    In looking a 4 just to the east of my house right now. Why not start with land use, building safety, lack of permits, fire hazards from generators, stealing water, illegal guns, illegal people, etc. Don’t wait for new laws just start making everyday harder for them. You should be able to go and check grow permit and if none destroy the crops.

    You mean tax evasion. Fuck these guys. God forbid you get a job during coronavirus and make it a felony.

    Great reporting! This is a huge problem! Those cartels are a deadly cancer and toxic cancer!
    It seems people in the comments think the cartel is a joke and this is politically motivated. It’s not… It’s been well documented, the cartel operating in America and causing all sorts of trouble and disregard towards American, poisoning our land and people. California rangers have found countless toxic grow sites liked to the cartels that’s are cheaply made and toxic.
    Unfortunately the cartels are too strong and violent.
    Don’t underestimate or side with them.
    They make shit weed with pesticides!

    There was a β€œDrug Bust” in my complex a few months back. Apparently β€œComplex Carol” called the cops about a man smoking weed. About 8 cop cars pulled up because she claims she saw guns. The cops searched the place and found only medical marijuana, the man is disabled. The cops told the man whatever and drove off. About a month later she moved out lol

    This is illegal because they don’t have regulation to pay tax. Pass the f***king bill, so the gov can double their salary.



  9. Santos F1 on August 28, 2021 at 10:54 pm

    If they made it legal why are they crying about they only care about the taxes not being paid

  11. BladeMasterz916 on August 28, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Cocaine is a plant, as well, poison ivy is a plant, doesn’t mean they’re harmless. Marijuana causes depersonalization. THESE THINGS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.



  15. Jona Productions on August 28, 2021 at 10:58 pm

  33. rob on August 28, 2021 at 11:15 pm

    I admire Supervisor Katheryn Barger for trying to at least change the laws across the state, if only city politicians were this proactive on the dirty streets of LA issues.



  34. Lazy Oso on August 28, 2021 at 11:18 pm

    HATERS



  35. thismof0 on August 28, 2021 at 11:23 pm

  36. Shawn Ryan on August 28, 2021 at 11:25 pm

  37. 10susan10 on August 28, 2021 at 11:26 pm

  38. Cliff Johnson on August 28, 2021 at 11:27 pm

  39. Jose Gonzale on August 28, 2021 at 11:28 pm

  45. David Krajin on August 28, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Nothing wrong with these at all. No crime associated with it. Don’t send wrong signal to others. Hater because they can’t get a piece of that pie (tax).



  46. Sagacious Apotheosis BLM on August 28, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    Poor people have a right to make a living too!
    Remove the arbitrary barriers!



  47. iv4n_09 on August 28, 2021 at 11:35 pm

  48. Ralph Gonzales on August 28, 2021 at 11:36 pm

    If it’s legal let them alone. If there not getting their permits their illegal and should be shut down. They shouldn’t be stealing water and they wouldn’t have eyes on them!



  49. G D on August 28, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    Where do you people think most of the legal selling places get their weed lol



  50. Randal Gibson on August 28, 2021 at 11:42 pm
