Extreme drought conditions. Lake levels are dropping. That should be enough information to make an educated decision. Allowing more pot farms or vineyards under these conditions can hurt everyone. There are already established farms and operations. If they suck all the aquifers dry, then it’s all for nothing. Allowing these new projects will hurt everyone.

As I have said in another comment, Clearlake will end up like Lake Mendocino if you allow more projects.
