Chico Enterprise-Record, 30 Jul 2012 – Today’s editorial regarding the illegal marijuana growing on our public (and private) forest lands well defines the increasing problems facing forest management agencies and the public but only suggests as a solution, a "full scale assault" on the growers. Who’s to do it, when, and at what cost? The truth is there are really only two viable solutions, neither of which is perfect and each carries with it their own problems and costs. We can legalize marijuana and bring the value of illegal crops so low that it would eliminate any profit in illegal growing.
