The Ukiah Daily Journal, 22 Nov 2012 – To the Editor: Murder, home invasion, robbery, burglary, assault, battery, coercion, tax evasion, and medical malpractice. These crimes seem to be on an increase in Mendocino County. Lesser crimes that also seem to be on the increase include panhandling, DUIs, camping in public places, and child endangerment/child abandonment. Not classified as crimes, suicide, family alienation, community discord. While proponents of the marijuana initiative may have presented a hazy truth, I really find it hard to believe that the cultivation, processing, transportation, and consumption of marijuana is a victimless crime. I also believe that, because of the relaxed attitude toward marijuana, other drug manufacture, transportation, and consumption is on the increase.
