My brother just got back from a vacation in N. Cali...
Seems a few years back they passed an ordnance making it legal to grow up to 25 plants.
Now a bunch of people are moving in and setting up their little plots.
Got the locals up there in an uproar and now they are trying to repeal the ordnance.
The whole war on weed is stupid, you can kill yourself with booze and cigarettes but nooooooooooooo can't have any of that stuff you can grow in your backyard.
And yes because of the indoor growing under lights the feds do watch your electricity consumption... and fly around in helicopters with infrared to spot houses/buildings.
If they legalized this stuff the Hawaiian economy would go through the roof.
