Editor's Note: A bit of a long article to get to the root of the issue (no pun intended)–the strategy for using less water that just might prove effective–but a somewhat interesting backstory nonetheless. 

After keeping a low profile for more than two years, George Bianchini, founder and CEO of Medi-Cone, a Marin-based collective that grows and sells medical marijuana, invited the public to visit his West Marin home this week for a demonstration on water conservation.

Bianchini said he wants to teach people growing medical marijuana how to do so without wasting water and poisoning trees with fertilizers.

Bianchini, who operated Broadway Video in Fairfax for 27 years, started Medi-Cone in 2010. At that time, the collective employed a dozen people, all members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 5, in the cultivation, harvesting and packaging of medical marijuana for several Bay Area dispensaries.
