Re: Item 15, Cannabis Regulations
We are commenting in particular on Health and Safety Regulations, Personal Cultivation, packet
pages 213 and 214. We encourage you to continue to allow outdoor cultivation for personal and
medicinal use, for the following reasons.
1. Outdoor cultivation is much easier and less expensive than indoor cultivation, especially for
those who are elderly and/or ill.
2. Indoor cultivation takes up living space, which may impinge on the health and safety of
residents.
3. Indoor cultivation uses utilities for heating, cooling, and fans, which is expensive and a drain
on our resources.
4. Indoor cultivation requires expensive equipment and a lot more know-how, which will
eliminate the ability to grow for personal and medical uses for many people who can’t afford
retail cannabis, or who want to grow organic cannabis.
5. Outdoor cultivation can be discreet and respectful of neighbors. Regulations can be crafted to
insure this.
We urge you to continue to allow outdoor personal and medical cultivation of cannabis as you
arrive at your final regulations.
Respectfully,
Wendy Brown and David Gehrt
