   There is already a problem with people growing marijuana on public   
   lands, but if the Governator gets his way and closes the parks the   
   problem will skyrocket.  Most state parks are not gated and for those   
   that are, it is still easy to get in most of them.  Without tourists,   
   campers and park employees, drug dealers will run ramped in them.  And I   
   am not just talking about pot, I mean hard drugs like speed.  If   
   homeless can build makeshift buildings and campsites in wooded parks   
   when they are open and go undetected for a long time, then don't you   
   think drug dealers can set up meth labs?  Some park employees are   
   speaking out about this.  Hopefully the voters of Kalefonia will get   
   their representatives to stop this short-sighted idea to save money,   
   because the costs will far outweigh any savings a few years down the   
   road.  No matter what you think of drugs (and I favor decriminalization   
   and for some, legalization), they do not belong in our CA State Parks.
