Charles Cowles, Petaluma, grows medical marijuana in his backyard and would
20
like to continue. His neighbors have never complained. He believes that big
21
grows smell and attract unsavory attention.
22
23
Kumari Sirades, Petaluma, Sonoma Alliance for Medical Marijuana, expressed
24
concern with a proposal that would ban outdoor grows, saying it's very expensive
25
to set up and maintain an indoor grow and many medical marijuana patients
26
can't afford it, nor do they have the technical know -how.
27
28
Alex Bohn, Petaluma, against the proposed ordinance to ban outdoor
29
growing. He said he believes the community should come together to support
30
each other.
31
32
Linda Stokley, Petaluma, is a medical marijuana patient who no longer has to
33
take prescription medication. She told Council she attempted to set up an
34
indoor grow but couldn't sustain it due, in part, to a $200 per month electric bill.
35
36
Craig Litwin, Petaluma, served on the Sebastopol City Council and helped craft
37
their medical marijuana ordinance, which includes addressing the odor and
38
visibility concerns.
39
40
Ernie Carpenter, Sebastopol, has been an advocate of medical marijuana since
41
the 1970s. The people who use medical marijuana can't afford to grow inside or
42
build an outside structure.
43
44
Moses Pope, Petaluma, is an advocate of medical marijuana helping to heal
45
others. He told Council he grows for other patients and neighbors have never
46
complained about the smell.
47
48
Connie Madden, Petaluma, is a medical marijuana patient and is in favor of
49
medical marijuana growing outdoors as growing inside is costly.
50
51
Pam Grainger, Petaluma, Petaluma Coalition to Prevent Alcohol, Tobacco and
52
Other Drug Problems, said she is concerned about youth marijuana use.
