Marijuana Enforcement Team in the Hyampom Area Today
After receiving reports of a law enforcement convoy parked “at top of Titlow Hill,” we’ve confirmed with Lt. Mike Fridley of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office that the County’s Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET–formerly DEU, the Drug Enforcement Unit) is in the Hyampom area today serving a search warrant on an unpermitted grow.
One eyewitness described seeing about 10 vehicles including unmarked SUV’s. Fridley said that along with MET, there were members of the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Humboldt County Planning Department, and Cal Fire.

“A search warrant”. As in one? Hmm… And what is the role of Cal-Fire again in these raids? Did the state offer them a fund-raising regulatory fine that they can collect? Because their being a part of these raids is not a great public relations thing. They were the one state agency that everybody played well with- as they stayed out of weed politics and focused on …Fire! I can only imagine that as Cal Fire enters a punitive arrangement they will find many gates closed against them and many people not cooperating with them. It’s called “erosion of public trust” and it is sad to see.
I noticed them blatantly using cal-fire planes and helicopters last year in pre-raid reconnaissance and in fly overs on the day of raids. From a state stand point it makes sense to use all their resources when not needed elsewhere but it is horrible public relations.
Wonder if the National guard is with them also? If they are why the media suppression
Nah, they busting the entire mountain when they roll through!
Media suppression? The bust is going on as I write, you expect a play-by-play from the cops while the raid is happening?
It would be a great niche…
I volunteer….
I actually wonder wat up w/ the NG too..JD…Not a lot of info.. In that regard.. I am suprised there is not any video footage of raids.. Arnt they suppose to have body cameras as well? I am suprised there isn’t more footage, with cameras and phones everywhere..
flying recon blindly for whatever they can see?? I see that a a total violation of our fourth amendment rights guaranteed by the constitution of the united states. An oath taken by popo, political office and military .” Support and defend the constitution again all enemies, forien and domestic” Shame on cal-fire !! 40 years ago they were respected. Now they have jumped the fence to the other side. Someone has really pissed off leo’s to warrant them to keep going back. Someone needs to stop ! My beloved country is turning into a place where nothing is for or by the people. So very sad.
~thank you Pissed off Marine for being who you are.

I spoke to Cal Fire Battalion Chief Paul Savona. He told me, “We have never utilized our aircraft in anyway related to marijuana eradication. Cal Fire resources are involved in forest and fire law enforcement to protect California timberlands. We are involved in the search warrant process related to illegal timberland conversion and not involved for the purpose of marijuana eradication. Our goal is to maintain the beneficial uses of California’s timberland.”
I am glad to know that !!! I dont know any of the new guys for cal- fire. All the guys I know are gone or retired. Big shoes to fill, I can say that !
Despite the rebranding from CDF to Calfire, that agency still enforces timber harvest regulations.
Fair enough. Guess I missed the rebranding. So it is CalFire now that inspects THPs and approves them? I still think they are the one state agency even growers approve of and that teaming up with the sheriff on busts works against all of our long-term interests. Like here’s an example- if a small fire breaks out and CalFire is attempting entry…people may fall trees to block the road and deny entry. On scenes past where greenhouses existed and fire broke out nearby CalFire acted in a way that earned them the trust of a suspicious community. Fire is our common enemy! I think their collusion on weed raids erodes that goodwill. It is sad and concerning. I hope they rethink this approach…
CalFire is just interested in the timber harvest violations. They could walk on to any property at any time for timber violations right past greenhouses and not give a crap, they are just joining the safety in numbers party to do their bit.
” . . they are just joining the safety in numbers party to do their bit.”
T.H.E.Y. are Not in the Republic.
~the booty is split between the pirates on dry land.
I see the perception issue, but the Cal fire people with these LEO’s are foresters not fire fighters.
As different as USFS LEO’s and USFS fire crews.
Well put and great point,Cenhum ! As for preception issue, its like the difference between Viet Cong and N.V.A. please tell me the difference. They all do the same, but aren’t FG guys and leo s Wearing badges and Firearms? Why the arms if your on a fire? Put yourself if you are on flames and not going out? I really dont think so. It goes much deeper than agencys with 3 and 4 letters. Sheep in wolves clothing. SWC
Well, I’ve seen fire fighters dig hand lines around pot patches. Would the VC do that?
Foresters aren’t LEO’s but Calfire does have LEO’s.

How many in here are familiar with the Delphi method?
The Delphi method was invented by Olaf Helmer and Norman Dalkey of the Rand Corporation in the 1950s for the purpose of addressing a specific military problem.
Rosa Koire explains the Delphi method in:
A threat to Canadian sovereignty

No.
I’m merely pointing out:
Where did Taxation w/out representation (Meas Z) begin?
–at a “Town Hall Meeting” in Redway Elementary School.
Where was last year’s “Town Hall Meeting” regarding their Ordinance Tax w/out the consent of the governed?
–Mateel CC, Redway.
Where is Fennell and Ford’s newly opened office?
–Broken Yolk, Redway
This Sunday – same sh!t different day –

~the Delphi method worked before, there’s no reason to re-invent the wheel. Just roll out the same coercion and threats masked in weaponized language, $moke and mirror$ w/$miles.

~i replied to you here last night, regarding ; “Why the arms if your on a fire”?
but access was denied.
This mountain was upgraded!
I trimmed once up on Titlow. Everyone was high on meth and drank beer like water. Couple of creeps walking around with rifles all night to intimidate the trimmers who wernt high on meth and who wanted to sleep. Top it all off , i was shorted on payment by one of the tweeker owners. Greed fest up there.
They kept the GratefulDead blaring 24\7 tho. This was to present the illusion that they were actually hippies not grossly self interested parasites of the earth.
Take em down!
The grateful dead is American folk music. It belongs to all of us.
Just because someone is a dead head that doesn’t mean they are hippies.
The hippies Im aware of drive brand new teslas, live in San Rafael and run shit.
They arent running a grow on titlow.
That grow and its neighbors are run by local notorious drug thugs that shit where they eat.
grateful dead is great and shouldn’t be blamed for a-holes tweeking. no guilt by association
The Grateful Dead was known as a psychedelic band. LSD in it’s veins. But what people conveniently forget is that the Grateful Dead were also a speed-freak band. How do you think they got all that equipment from coast to coast? Owsley made his first big money manufacturing and distributing methamphetamines. That’s where the close connection to the Hells Angels came in as Owsley worked with them to distribute first his speed and then his LSD. What about Cassidy- a speed freak of legendary fame and a hero to deadheads….So…Meth and the Grateful Dead really do go hand in hand. I know- people don’t want to believe it but it’s true.
Different times…. The Grateful Dead was a spiritual awakening for all the people involved. The Hells Angels were used as crowd control. “Farce” is rewriting history in a way that sounds true but is not. Stop throwing shit out there you no nothing about first hand. The hells angels moved dope on their own. Bear had nothing to do with it. LCD and coke on the other hand.!.
Owsley moved all of his first batches of LSD through his friends in the HA. He preferred them. The “spiritual awakening” was a flash in the pan, a few golden years between speed and cocaine and then heroin acceptance. Most old deadheads- Avalon and Carousel Ballroom era- also used speed. The beat culture was deep into speed. And the Wall of Sound was moved around by meth. People don’t talk about it much. Check out that book “Owsley” released a couple years ago. Bear’s early history finally written down. He cooked up methamphetamines and got his roommates to shoot it. That’s why the rumors that his later LSD might have a little speed to it. That’s why the secret history of the Grateful Dead is that they were also a subculture of speed freaks. Uncomfortable and inconvenient as that is…
Hyh Sounds like you thought you were getting a job fluffing cotton balls for a room full of kittens owned by a colony of vegan massage therapists. Instead you have a story to tell your grandkids that will actually be interesting to them.
I was offered a veggie burger one night by a man holding a rifle.
I had no expectations of the dope cult on titlow. These men who ran the grow were taught these behaviors from the big winners of the money game here like donnie trump. The legal growers will devistate the area far worse than any tweeker hillbillys. Any fool knows that.
yep every last little problem you have is Trumps fault even if that same thing was going on long before Trump became president and despite the fact that Trump has nothing to do with marijuana in california. you forfeit your credibility with statements like that
Sureeeee, blame Trump. What ignorance some people come up with. I guess blame Reagan for Nancy’s war on drugs??? cmon really ? Blame voters that said yes to prop 64
Tax payer. Your comment is full of erroneuos ideas in regaurd to my mention of Trump. Trumps merely a puppet of the elite who plays the big winner of the American Dream. He sets a global precedent in their puppet show. He spreads fear, ignorance , hate and greed. Ultimately to destabillize sheeple like you into thinking that these trends (fear hate greed ignorance) justify the means to social upliftment. Similiar to how George JR spread the prescedent of mediocrity to the people. Walking into doors and being an obvious simpleton. All meant to divide and conquer the masses into a weakened state of subjectivity , where we blame each other for our problems. Not the tyrants on top who are actually screwing our lives up. Tyrants hiding behind figure head puppets like your boy Donnie.
and you think that was a defense to your credibility
There is a valid point buried among Hyh’s rambling, that the government string-pullers have their control of Trump dialed in. He’s just a marketing tool for their agenda now. Those who want a war with Iran have an excellent chance of getting it, even though Trump campaigned against stupid foreign adventures.
Hyh… I call bullshit,yeah blame everything on Trump…no permits no plants. It’s not hard to understand try really hard to focus, I know you can do it, maybe you need a dose of the new drug on the market it’s called groaset… proven to work on liberals, proven to change your outlook…just saying…lol
i consider most politricksters to be puppets of the elite, not just “donny”
More erroneous thinking followed by you guessed it , more erroneous thinking.
They get ripped off all the time. Super exposed location to 299 on some of those grow scenes up there.
Typical unappreciative trimmer complaining about the grower making you food and carrying a gun (not pointing a gun at you) just in case he has to protect his property and everyone there (including you) if any unwelcome visitors show up.
My comment was actually in appreciation of ol boy bringing me the veggie burger. I found it ironic the veggie burger in one hand and tool of death in the other. The Dead are hugely over rated in this area btw. Jerry is not some sort of light worker , he’s just a dude with a guitar.
I don’t condemn the dudes i worked for out there. Im just saying that making a ganja trim scene a sort of meth , beer no sleep camp is no good. This individuals were also very interested in money to the point that I saw many bad moves made. One of the guys out there who a lot of the local people most likely know , garners a lot of respect from me to this day. He also complains about the tweeking and bull shit on his hill. He never carries a rifle or tries to intimidate people , he just keeps his shit small and uses the same people every year. The dudes a real hermit with an actual moral compass.
Now that mountain lion out there who stalked me on several occasions may put fear enough into some to carry a gun constantly , which I can understand. Same with theives, just dont intimadaste people you are basically trying to trust was my point.
Well that’s Interesting.
And to be fair, the first ingredient in beer is water.
I’m thinking “sheesh” is spot on. I saw that convoy heading out on 299 real early. One sheriff’s truck had a wood chipper in tow on the trailer hitch. Those dudes have a bee in their bonnet
~no lack of intelligence in here.
You guys keep me in stitches ~smiles

Trump 😂😂😂😂omg. So glad he won. It’s going to be a long ride for you because he’s winning again. I actually feel sorry for you it’s probably not your fault most likely raised blind. Pray for you hope you wake and enjoy life. He’s making life better for most legal Americans Jump on and prosper
They really defined their definition of Drugs by changing their name and focus from all drugs down to solely Marijuana.
“We are involved in the search warrant process related to illegal timberland conversion and not involved for the purpose of marijuana eradication. ”
This is the same reply the State Water Board, F&G, and everyone uses. Substitute timberland conversion into water diversion, animal endangerment, health quality, or.code enforcement. So they aren’t involved in the actual cutting down of the plants, okay. Is Cal Fire issuing citations, tickets, and or fees with the other agencies? Gonna be funny when all 235 state agencies show up to raid a 100 plant farm. And it will happen once they all figure out how.
Four seperate individuals on one thread who lack the power to actually evaluate a statement to such an extent that they generate negative connatations. Yunz aint got no books round dem wayz?
