Chico Enterprise-Record, 05 Aug 2012 – The difficulty in developing a marijuana ordinance locally and statewide is due to one simple reality that is the "elephant in the room." A huge percentage of our citizens smoke marijuana daily and use it much like a glass of wine at night. They do no harm and see this as their right. They grow it, they sell it, and they buy it. It is by far Northern California’s largest agricultural industry. Nationwide, the demand is over 100 million pounds per year, and regardless of law enforcement’s best efforts this demand is being met.
