Are you ready for this?

The state's new medical marijuana guidelines will help bring more clarity to Proposition 215 cases, giving the county more tools in its struggle to curb abuse of the law, Humboldt County's district attorney said.

”There's some good stuff in there for us to efficiently punish people who are abusing the law,” District Attorney Paul Gallegos said. “There are members of this community that are making money, that are benefiting from the laws and the people of this community, that are giving nothing back.”...

”Taxation -- that is very important to us. We've modified our investigation to do financial investigations,” he said.

By comparing assets and income, the county can weed out illegal growers from legitimate ones, he said.

”It gives us a weapon, I think, that we didn't have,” Gallegos said.
