“Today, I lend my name and full support to the passage of Measure B. It is the right thing to do for Mendocino County. I urge the voters to vote and vote for Measure B,” These were the words of Sheriff Tom Allman in an article in the Ukiah Daily Journal.
In a move anticipated by some opponents of Mendocino Measure B, The Anti-Medical Marijuana Measure. Head Sheriff of Mendocino, Tom Allman, has changed his neutral stance on Measure B and decided to stand behind the hysteria and misinformation of the Yes on B Coalition.
According to the Ukiah Daily Journal, “Without my knowledge or permission, the opponents of Measure B sent out a campaign mailer that includes my uniformed picture and a quote from me,” Allman explained. “First, they have taken the quote attributed to me out of context. Second, by doing so they are implying that I am opposed to Measure B. Because of this misrepresentation, I can no longer remain neutral.” “I have strived to remain neutral on the ballot initiative for the purpose of allowing the voters to decide,” Allman said, according to the Ukiah Daily Journals “BREAKING NEWS HEADLINE”.
Sheriff Allman maintained “The investigation of violent crimes, the eradication of large commercial marijuana gardens and combating methamphetamine will remain top priorities for the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.”
We at the Mendo Mount, applaud Sheriff Allman for not endorsing or not endorsing Measure B, and taking a clear stance on Measure B. There has been alot of talk as to whether Sheriff Allman was for or against Measure B in the local Mendocino Press, with this clarification the voters of Mendocino can now clearly see where the Head of the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Department Stands on Measure B.
According to the Friends of Tom Allman website, Sheriff Allman who is also a Freemason, and the former “Grandmaster” of the Willits Masonic Lodge, better known locally as one of the “Good ‘Ole Boys Clubs”. In Mendoicino it strikes many as no surprise that the Sheriff would wait until two weeks before the June Election to support and endorse Mendocino Measure B- The Anti-Medical Marijuana Measure. It suits and plays the tune of the strategy of the YES ON B COALITION’S plan to re criminalize Medical Marijuana and arrest the patients and growers who threaten MENDOCINO’S TRADITIONAL POWER STRUCTURE.
Tom Allman pioneered the worlds first voluntary “MARIJUANA ZIP TIE PROGRAM” last year that would have brought millions of dollars in revenue to the County of Mendocino had the program been implemented by the Board of Supervisors. The Program was designed to make identification of “Legitimate Medical Marijuana Plants” easier for officers by assigning a serialized “ZIP TIE” with a non-personal identifiable number that would have made it extremely easier for law enforcement to identify “legal” marijuana from its “Illegal” counterpart. The program Allman designed was extremely well recieved by the Medical Marijuana Community in Mendocino County. It was a very good plan! The plan would have charged a nominal fee per “ZIp Tie” and would have solved any abuses of Mendocino’s Medical Marijuana Program. Unlike Measure B, which polarizes the community, the Zip Tie program would have brought some much needed revenue to the County from Mendocino’s #1 money making agriculture crop. The “Zip Tie” program is still available voluntarily in Mendocino through the sheriffs office.
Although we applaud Sheriff Allman for taking any stance on such a volatile issue such as Measure B, It would have been beneficial for all parties earlier. We must admit, that the timing of the endorsement of Measure B seems a political Backlash, to the No on Measure B Coalition, for citing earlier newspaper quotations and printing his picture in their campaign fliers mailed this week. The Endorsement couldn’t come at a better time for the Campaign of Misinformation led by the Yes on B Coalition.
We must remember that the NO on Measure B Coalition was only quoting an article from The Press Democrat which misrepresented and took the Sheriff’s words “out of context”. We featured a SIMILAR STORY HERE ON THE MENDOCINO MOUNT, but as we concluded in that story, “SHERIFF ALLMAN WENT ON TO SAY IN THE ARTICLE, “Although I will not take a position on Measure B, I will say Mendocino County will be a better spot when marijuana is not on the front page every day,” ALTHOUGH WE SUPPORT SHERIFF ALLMAN, WE DON’T THINK THERE WIOLL EVER BE A TIME WHERE MARIJUANA ISN’T ON THE FRONT PAGE IN MENDOCINO COUNTY. PEOPLE LOVE MARIJUANA WAY TOO MUCH HERE!” …………hummm were still figuring out where this whole YES ON B , NO ON B MESS IS LEADING, WE AT THE MENDO MOUNT DO NOT SUPPORT OUR SHERIFFS DECISION TO ENDORSE MEASURE B,
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ALLMANS”ZIP TIE PROGRAM”- IT WAS HIS BEST IDEA YET!
FBI AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO SILENCE TOMMY CHONG!
(THIS STORY IS SIMILAR TO THE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENTS ACTIONS IN THE PAST WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE JUNE ELECTION. THE LOCAL UNBALANCED MEDIA REPORTING, WHERE EDITORS OF THE THREE BIG MENDOCINO NEWSPAPERS, TWN, UDJ, FBA, HAVE OPENLY DECIDED TO SUPPORT MEASURE B , AND HAVE CONSISTENTLY SENSATIONALIZED EVERY BUST IN MENDOCINO COUNTY IN HOPES TO EXAGGERATE AND MAGNIFY THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA GROWN, THESE PAPERS ARE OWNED BY MULTI-NATIONAL MEDIA CONGLOMERATES AND DO NOT REPRESENT THE VOICE OF MENDOCINO COUNTY!)
“I’m gonna make you famous, I’m gonna put you in a movie!” -Tommy Chong to FBI agents
Tommy Chong and his family talk about his arrest, incarceration and the impact it had on all their lives.
10,000 of his new DVD’s titled “a/k/a Tommy Chong” were recently seized in a raid by the FBI.
FBI Raid Linked To Political DVD’s
Local 12.com
Friday, May 9, 2008
Actor and comic Tommy Chong says he is linked to FBI raids Wednesday in Newport and Clermont County’s Union Township.
Chong tells Local 12 federal agents were after thousands of DVD copies of a documentary he recently made.
Tommy Chong, 30 years ago, appeared in the movie that made him famous, “Up In Smoke.”
But today, Tommy Chong is 69-years-old and selling a different movie, called “The United States of America Vs. Tommy Chong.”
The documentary details Chong’s 2003 federal prosecution and guilty plea for distributing drug paraphernalia. He was selling pot pipes online. Chong served nine months in prison.
Wednesday night, Chong told Local 12 he’s the focus of an FBI raid of two, local offices.
“They apparently confiscated 10,000 copies of the movie, “a/k/a Tommy Chong,” said Chong.
Only Local 12 cameras were on Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road Wednesday evening, watching federal agents raid the offices of 513 Ventures Agents also took evidence from the Spectrum Labs offices in Newport.
The companies market “detoxification products,” meant to help someone pass a drug test.
But Chong says agents seized 10,000 DVDs of his documentary.
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — The job offer was tempting.
It was printed on a 16-foot-wide banner and strung above one of the busiest roads here, calling out to any “soldier or ex-soldier.”
“We’re offering you a good salary, food and medical care for your families,” it said in block letters.
But there was a catch: The employer was Los Zetas, a notorious Gulf cartel hit squad formed by elite Mexican army deserters. The group even included a phone number for job seekers that linked to a voice mailbox.
Outrageous as they seem, drug cartel messages such as the banner hung here late last month are becoming increasingly common along the violence-savaged U.S.-Mexico border and in other parts of the region. As soldiers wage a massive campaign against drug trafficking across Mexico, they are encountering an information war managed by criminal networks that operate with near impunity.
“The cartels are very good at this — they’ve had songs written about them, they put up these signs, they make themselves out to be Robin Hoods,” Carlos Martínez, a Nuevo Laredo elementary school principal and community activist, said in an interview.
The banners also appeal to many poorer Mexicans who respect the brashness of the cartels, which provide food, clothing and toys to win civilians’ loyalty.
Marcelino, a 74-year-old pensioner who did not provide his last name for fear of retribution, said that he had been wronged plenty of times by police but that drug traffickers had given him a sturdy mountain bike.
Marcelino said police had harassed his neighbors, trumping up phony criminal violations and extracting bribes to avoid incarceration. Previous local governments tried to throw him and other squatters off government land. Drug traffickers, however, sided with the squatters, earning their enduring gratitude by paying to build cinder-block shacks and distributing clothing.
“I trust the Zetas more than the thieving police and soldiers,” Marcelino said. “The police are rats.”
Once they join drug gangs, the deserters seem “cool” to many people, according to Martínez. Children in his neighborhood see banners advertising jobs in drug gangs and connect those images with the suddenly prosperous deserters, and other cartel recruits, they meet on the streets. With few opportunities for employment in Mexico’s weak economy, the prospect of joining a gang is appealing, he said.
And of course, what is fueling the massive profits for murderous Mexican drug cartels more than anything is the prohibition of drugs in the United States and failure to provide treatment and rehabilitation rather than arrest and incarceration for drug addicts. Without countering demand, we will never affect supply.
However, we will never eliminate demand for drugs in this country or any other; it is human nature for some to seek altered states of consciousness. Therefore, it behooves us to take the production, marketing, merchandising and distribution of drugs out of the hands of black market criminals. All we accomplish by prohibiting drugs is more violence, corrupt cops, and wealthy drug gangs.
- DEA and police presence
- Increased aerial surveillance
- Violates CA Democratic Process
- Economically punishes Mendocino County
Vote No on B
Measure B DOES NOT protect the rights of medical marijuana patients.
Measure B makes criminals out of law-abiding citizens.
Measure B is a false solution that does nothing to address the problem of large commercial criminal grows.
The Medical Marijuana Community is part of the Mendocino County. We all want laws that make Mendocino the best place to live. Mearsure B is not the way. Measure B is a BAD policy.
Reasons to Vote No on Measure B
the following is the NO ON B MEASURE B PRIMARY BALLOT ARGUMENT as it will appear on Ballot:.
Measure B is a backward step towards marijuana re-criminalization that targets small-scale, personal use growers instead of large-scale commercial operators and organized criminals who are actually causing the problems in Mendocino County.
In 2000, Mendocino County voters overwhelmingly approved Measure G, the Personal Use of Marijuana Initiative, which allows cultivation of twenty–five (25) plants or fewer for personal use only, while leaving commercial cultivation and sales illegal.
Measure B would 1) repeal Measure G so as to re-criminalize personal use growing, and 2) subject medical marijuana patients to arrest and prosecution on felony charges for growing more than six (6) plants, forcing many seriously ill people into the criminal market to get their medicine.
Mendocino County will not be made safer by cracking down on small personal use growers. Instead, it will be made less safe by diverting police resources. Sheriff Tom Allman has said that reducing patient plant guidelines to six plants would be “a burden on law enforcement” under which his deputies “will not be able to focus on any other public safety issue”. (Press Democrat 3/17/07)
Mendocino County sorely needs to regulate large-scale gardens and to attack illicit grows and commercial trafficking. Measure B is a bogus diversion that does neither.
The solution is not to repeal Measure G (MCC9.36), but to seek ways to enforce it by regulating commercial growing.
If you support targeting large-scale criminal operations rather than personal use gardens, VOTE NO on B.
If you believe seriously ill patients should not be arrested for seven (7) plants, VOTE NO on B.
If you believe law enforcement has more important priorities than arresting and prosecuting small marijuana gardeners., VOTE NO on B.
If you support decriminalization of marijuana, VOTE NO on B.
B is Bad for Mendocino. Vote NO
the following is the NO ON B MEASURE B REBUTTAL ARGUMENT as it will appear on Ballot:.
By supporting Measure G, the Personal Use of Marijuana Initiative of 2000, voters chose not to criminalize their friends and neighbors for small personal use gardens.
Measure B, which seeks to overturn Measure G, DOES NOT “protect the rights of medical marijuana patients”. Rather it REDUCES the amount individual patients may grow to the minimum allowable under state law, subjecting patients to felony arrest, prosecution, property confiscation, even jail for anything over 6 plants.
Measure B DOES NOT attack “no limits” commercial operations; rather it outlaws personal use growers. If B passes, even one plant will be a felony for non-medical home growers.
Those now seeking to overturn Measure G blame it for current ills surrounding marijuana growing. We disagree.
Measure G DOES NOT condone commercial growing, but specifically calls for “the enforcement of marijuana laws against those who cultivate, transport and possess marijuana for sale.”
Measure G protects small-scale, personal use gardens, leaving law enforcement free to concentrate on serious crimes.
Sheriff Tom Allman’s new program would raise funds from medical marijuana cultivation, funds to support enforcement against those who abuse the law. Let’s give it a chance to work.
According to the Sheriff’s Medical Marijuana Report, less than 1% of 911 calls and less than 1% of prosecutions in Mendocino County involved marijuana in 2007.
We must find remedies for areas of abuse, but not by recriminalizing a substantial part of the population.
Vote No on B. Preserve the will of the voters.
Vote No on B
Measure B DOES NOT protect the rights of medical marijuana patients.
Measure B makes criminals out of law-abiding citizens.
Measure B is a false solution that does nothing to address the problem of large commercial criminal grows.
