Get the Facts on Cannabis Prohibition (CP) Zones!
​Once you learn more, we hope you’ll join us by saying NO because CP Zones:
Hurt Those Doing Things the Right Way
Cannabis Prohibition (CP) Zones only impact legally-permitted cannabis cultivation operations
After jumping through many hoops to permit their operations in the first place, permitted operations can be shut down afterwards with a CP zone, at significant expense to licensed or soon-to-be-licensed operators
Ultimately punishes those who have tried to be above-board and compliant
Bad Policy
Zone affects just 2 minority-owned cannabis cultivation sites in Redwood Valley, amounting to racist gerrymandering, while 7 other permitted grows just outside the CP zone can continue going about business as usual
​
Does nothing to address illegal cultivation issues, which are the primary source of complaints from local residents
​
Undermines the yearslong effort to create a legal and regulated cannabis marketplace in Mendocino County
Unintended Consequences
Will put local farmers out of business
​
Furthers a precedent to create a zoning designation that cannot be touched for 10 years no matter what, setting a bad precedent that could spread to other farms throughout Mendocino County
​
Only helps improve the position of illegal/black market grows
​
Could reduce the variety and availability of locally-grown cannabis at dispensaries in Mendocino County
