East, Markowitz and Mune: We don't support Measure O

We do favor legalization and support the use of medical marijuana, but we don't support Measure O for these reasons:

1. It is naïve to believe that growers will voluntarily pay per-plant fees to provide for a medical enforcement division.

2. Measure O states that “cultivation shall not adversely affect the health or safety” of neighbors. Who is to determine what constitutes excessive noise, traffic, odor and dust? How much do we have to endure until it's considered excessive?

3. The passing of Measure O allows more plants to be grown on smaller lots in more neighborhoods.

Think what is best for our children and neighborhoods and vote no on Measure O.

Richard East lives in Clearlake Oaks, Calif.; Mitch Markowitz in Clearlake, Calif.; and Paula Mune in Lakeport, Calif.
