With the beginning of the outdoor grow season, Mendocino Sheriff Tom Allman has pushed his zip-tie plan for medical marijuana to the front of the agenda.  Monday, in a special meeting, Mendocino County Supervisors will discuss selling plastic ties imprinted with serial numbers and ”Mendocino County MMP” (Medical Marijuana Program.)   According to Allman, “People this year are only going to be able to get six zip ties unless their doctor recommends more. …A zip tie acts like a prescription bottle. Whereas before deputies would spend three hours investigating a marijuana garden, now they’ll be able to do that in five minutes. Before legal patients were concerned that, What if I’m gone? Will the cops take my marijuana?’ With this they don’t have to worry about that. This serial number will speak for them. ”
