We map cannabis facilities in California; cannabis is legal here. I am of the opinion that "if it is in the world, it can be mapped." There are things that people say we SHOULD not map, and I have even seen some well-reasoned arguments which cause me to nod my head. For example, I once mapped some hiking trails (as access=no) on closed-to-the-public land. I was asked by the owner (land steward, really; ownership is a "public land trust") to remove them, as he convinced me that "these trails are still under development, they are not yet 'real' trails, but will be after they are developed and the land is properly opened to the public." You might choose to use "more generic" tags, like building=industrial and "leave it at that." (I note with some amusement that you cay "Cannabis 'plant'" and that could be a manufacturing facility, or a rooted dicotyledon growing in the earth — I assume the former). Adding something like access=private couldn't hurt (if true). _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
