A quote from the Mendecino county sheriff in the SacBee article. For those of you who don't know, a sheriff is a LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT person.
"
[h=3]Federal motivation questioned[/h]Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman, notified of the raid shortly beforehand, defended local efforts to regulate medical marijuana cultivation. The county restricts medicinal growers to 25 plants per property but allows residents with 5 acres or more to apply for special permits to grow a maximum of 99 plants.
"I would clearly say that what Matt Cohen was doing was in full compliance with our ordinance. And he was not violating Proposition 215," the California medical marijuana law "under the interpretation we have," Allman said.
