I can't believe your growers spray rat poison for 50 acres around each marijuana plot.

Neither can I.
Not many people like the plantations which are on public or private (logging company) land.
"Smaller growers operating on their own properties tend to use slightly better environmental practices— avoiding rodenticides, for instance"

Marijuana cultivation, he believes, "is a big reason why" at least 24 salmon and steelhead streams stopped flowing last summer.

Lack of rain was a bigger reason. My creek, which eventually runs in to Outlet Creek, by some wonderful coincidence, stopped flowing last year in early May, as opposed to late June,or even early July in a wet year. Only cattle and wildlife take water from it.
This was from a year ago...
Just two weeks in, officials are already calling 2014 Mendocino County's driest year on record, and saying no relief is expected in the near future.

PS
" Mendocino County, which as of 2010 allowed the cultivation of up to 99 plants, "

As of 2012, 25 plants.

Saw a petition to the Board of Supervisors asking them to raise the limit, cuz the neighboring counties are like 50 and 99. Apparently that is adversely impacting land values here.
