We have been reporting for years about the efforts of law enforcement to rid the Mendocino National Forest in California of illegal marijuana grow sites. The Mendocino National Forest Grow-site Reclamation Project is partly financed through funding sought by the Lake County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee and the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew.

Today we bring you the Top Ten “Reefer Madness” Stories of 2011. “Reefer Madness”, of course, is the 1936 anti-pot propaganda film showing young people becoming crazed and violent on the effects of “reefer”. Today, we use “Reefer Madness” as shorthand to describe the hysterical warnings by the anti-drug zealots as reported unchallenged by a complacent media.

Gee, what a shame it is when the people whose rights you’re oppressing have the capital to put up a fight, huh? Now, go tell your little “Garden Grove can’t afford to ban pot shops” sob story to one of the thousands of California cannabis consumers who get caught up in a marijuana charge and have to cop a plea because they can’t afford to fight the limitless resources of the district attorney. Tell it to thousands more who lose their property and money to a civil asset forfeiture so they don’t have the resources even if they do have the resources.

As California NORML estimates, there are between 750,000 and 1,125,000 medical marijuana patients in the state protected from arrest for possession, sale, and cultivation. This represents roughly 25% to 37.5% of the estimated 3,026,000 annual cannabis consumers in California aged 18 and older, according to the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use & Health (the most recent state numbers available).
Another way to look at it? Even as over one in four California pot smokers became “legal”, more than twice as many were being arrested for it.
