in Mendocino County by the law. Prop 215 is strong here and creates an environment found nowhere else. But because I am a mother I want to walk carefully down the path I feel driven to walk. I don’t want to get into anyone’s face. I really just want to have fun and inform where and when I can. I want to offer information to people that will help them, either in an entertaining sort of a way, or in a way that will open their eyes to see the truth.

I will admit, I smoke weed, but that is not enough to say that the people I find interesting enough to pass on to the public do. There is no guilty by association. And the reason I bring this up is because it has been an issue with some of the businesses I approached to be involved either by advertisement or by article. They were worried because marijuana is still illegal. I understand because I too felt the fear, but fear is what holds us back, what makes us question our beliefs. And every time I questioned what I was doing, it made me want to push ahead. So I hope you enjoy the endeavor of those participated without fear, and if you find you have an answer that needs hearing don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always listening.

Urban Jungle will try and offer up a picture of what its like to live in a place of stunning pastoral beauty, with an underlying patena of simmering tension. Its violent up here, virtually everyone has guns, and lawless behavior
