Napa Says Forget About Humboldt– Napa Valley is Tops for Pot, Too

Napa known as California’s King of wine is now laying claim to Humboldt’s Cannabis Crown.  Recently, Napa Valley’s Farm Bureau became the first in the state (and probably the country) to accept a marijuana grower as a member.  This ground breaking first step was accompanied by the grower himself dissing the Emerald Triangle. NBC Bay Area says that as

…[a] life-long Napa Valley resident, Carter said he bristles whenever he hears someone declare Mendocino or Humboldt County … the “Napa Valley of marijuana growing.” That distinction, he believes, should remain in the Napa Valley.

“They’re not on top of three international airports,” he said. “They don’t have the accommodations and what we have for the wine industry already.

Whether Napa captures the crown or not, they’ve played an opening gambit that legitimizes marijuana and their burgeoning marijuana industry.  The acceptance of grower’s and their product by the Napa Valley Farm Bureau gives growers there a measure of social acceptance and thus a measure of protection.  Will Humboldt County’s Farm Bureau be just as progressive?  I encourage some of you growers to find out.  Let me know how you succeed.

Humboldt has prize winning wines—I wonder if Napa’s ever won the Emerald Cup? :snicker:

“The Napa Valley of…” is lamer than “Mediterranean climate.” And what’s Napa supposed to do? Be all, “Oh, ok. Humboldt already took Napa for weed, so we gotta come up with something else.”

If Napa gets organized they will eat our lunch. As we sit here with no branding efforts, and no vision, they will used the well heeled tourism they have and capitalize on it. Humboldt will do what it always does, talk a good game, but wont walk the walk. More dogma associated with our movement here than action. Sad, its our crown to loose.

Interesting in light of the Highboltage post of August 11, 2011. Maybe Judge Vortmann should reconsider his opinion.

I wondered too, if since the Farm Bureau in Napa thinks marijuana is an ag product if that might not lend weight to that claim.
