You guys have an issue with the illegal growers in your county, right?
That's right.
We're inundated with illegal marijuana growers.
It started small in about 2015.
About 100 people came to Siskiyou County from some of the other states surrounding there.
Before long, it multiplied.
People came from all over California and also other parts of the country to set up these illegal groves.
Right now, our marijuana eradication team is two people.
We call it whack-a-mole because that's literally how it feels.
We'll go and eradicate.
We'll spend a lot of time and effort to do the right thing and to get things cleaned up.
We'll fly a drone over the next day, and there's people back at work.
You can recite them all day, but the laws are written so poorly, there are no consequences.
When you are part of a criminal industry and have so much money, the $500 fines aren't going to matter.
