THE FIRE CHIEF IS WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS

The fire chief wants to decrease the risk from legal "grow-ops" and
thinks that disclosing the locations will do it. He is wrong on both
counts.

First, the idea that growing this plant is somehow inherently risky is
false - pure grow-opaganda. Cannabis is just as safe to grow as
tomatoes if done properly.

Second, disclosure of private health information is not going to
change growing practices or make anyone safer. It will likely result
in legal growers being harassed .. and exposed them to the risk of
theft.

If the fire chief wants to really increase public safety he should be
advocating for the end of cannabis prohibition, not the disclosure of
sick people's private health information. Ending prohibition and
regulating the industry will result in cannabis being grown on farms
and in industrial greenhouses like all of our other commercial crops.
