Incredible that the Town of PV, and other towns in this county, have the time, energy and resources to waste adding more policy/ies to something democratically voted legal, when they can't deal with more important issues like affordable housing, crime prevention, traffic issues, removing dead trees and brush from power lines, fire prevention, maintaining public buildings and schools, providing safe routes to schools (Windmill, CMS, Ormondale), sustainability, keeping rat poison off public fields (when we're rightly banned from using them at home). Stop putting lipstick on the pig. Feed and maintain the pig.

Cultivation of marijuana for personal or commercial use in Portola Valley should be banded 100%. The unintended consiquences will change the entire atmosphere and character of this beautiful valley. Unsightly grows, pollution from pesticides, increased crime from cartels, water theft, money laundering are just a few undesirable certainties you will bring into the community. Not to mention the bad example you will be setting for your children. My message is very clear, think very long and hard before put your stamp of approval on this ordinance. Legalizing Dope was a mistake in the first place, don't make it any worse by not thinking this out.
