Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process. One that would bring in funding to support code enforcement and the Sheriff’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Let’s regulate it. Let’s fund the resources we need to keep it under control,” explains Maurer. “Eliminate the bad players, support the good players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">To date, the county’s taken in roughly $3.7 million in registration fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer explains, “The first prong of enforcement is to go after those who didn’t register at all. “Those that are just not going to bother to register. The Sheriff’s Department and D.A. can go after those and remove them from the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159452\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159452\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Caz Tomaszewski is a local grower and the Executive Director of Calaveras Cannabis Alliance which represents the industry in the county. He says the CCA advocates for “the identification and removal of illicit marijuana grows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says his organization has spent considerable time and money educating local leaders and residents about the profile of local marijuana growers represented by CCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He sees a stark contrast between long-time growers who want to grow marijuana under the county’s legal framework and those who rushed in after the Butte fire. Tomaszewski likens the latter to prospectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“You know, people hear from a couple of buddies at the grow shop that a particular county is a good place to grow. And they go and buy two pieces of land and move out the next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski argues that’s a change from how earlier marijuana growers established themselves in Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before the Butte fire, he says would-be growers from outside Calaveras were vetted by locals. He says the profile of growers in Calaveras is different from other northern California counties where marijuana is cultivated. We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

But it’s a whole different ball game when everything you had is a big pile, a smoking pile of ash and twisted metal roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett is a realtor. In December, right on the heels of the Butte fire, his phone starting ringing like crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County,” explains Schmiett. “I’m not sure how the county got the national exposure it did.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process. One that would bring in funding to support code enforcement and the Sheriff’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Let’s regulate it. Let’s fund the resources we need to keep it under control,” explains Maurer. “Eliminate the bad players, support the good players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">To date, the county’s taken in roughly $3.7 million in registration fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer explains, “The first prong of enforcement is to go after those who didn’t register at all. “Those that are just not going to bother to register. The Sheriff’s Department and D.A. can go after those and remove them from the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159452\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159452\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Caz Tomaszewski is a local grower and the Executive Director of Calaveras Cannabis Alliance which represents the industry in the county. He says the CCA advocates for “the identification and removal of illicit marijuana grows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says his organization has spent considerable time and money educating local leaders and residents about the profile of local marijuana growers represented by CCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He sees a stark contrast between long-time growers who want to grow marijuana under the county’s legal framework and those who rushed in after the Butte fire. Tomaszewski likens the latter to prospectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“You know, people hear from a couple of buddies at the grow shop that a particular county is a good place to grow. And they go and buy two pieces of land and move out the next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski argues that’s a change from how earlier marijuana growers established themselves in Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before the Butte fire, he says would-be growers from outside Calaveras were vetted by locals. He says the profile of growers in Calaveras is different from other northern California counties where marijuana is cultivated. We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.
