@michaelt779 ~ It was reported that according to the Sheriff Department's own data, just 3% of the illegal grows are on Hmong property. Not all of the Hmong there are involved, but all of the Hmong there are being harassed, profiled, and targeted by law enforcement and county government. That's racist, and it's wrong. Which is why the judge granted the Hmong an injunction against the laws denying them a basic human necessity: water.
Aside from that, the comment is about Vice not doing a good job, a point which your reply ignores, and you're not speaking for the Hmong people, or answering all the pertinent questions raised, either.
Marijuana cultivation uses the same amount of water as growing tomatoes. If marijuana is legal in California, why should it require a license for farmer's to grow? Contrary to your assertion, this California county bans ALL marijuana cultivation, unlike many other California counties. Then they use the law to only target the Hmong. And you don't see anything wrong with that?
