Re: PUT THE BAN ON GROWING MARIJUANA AND OTHER BANNED PLANTS INTO BY-LAWS

Connie Nelson,

We, at the Las Flores Community Garden in Thousand Oaks, California, are 
about to begin our community garden on land owned by our local park district.

Despite the fact that the state of California has a law on the books that 
allows the use of marijuana for medical purpose with a doctor's o.k., and 
despite the fact that it is well documented that people who are battling 
cancer or debilitating pain from other medical conditions can get relief by 
using marijuana,t he fact is that the Federal Government  prosecutes people 
found to be growing the plant. In  order to forestall any complaints about  
the growing of marijuana or any other banned plants,  and to retain the right 
to use the public land we've been offered we have put language in our by-laws 
specifically banning the planting, growing, harvesting, buying or selling 
these plants in or from the community garden and making such the cause for 
immediate expulsion of any member who engages in such activity.

I hope this helps you.

Don Jacons
