Large Sheriff’s Marijuana Mowing Operation Headed Out Hwy 36

Humboldt County Sheriff MarijuanaMultiple locals reported seeing between seven and ten law enforcement vehicles headed out Hwy 36 about 8 a.m. today. Most of the vehicles appear to be Humboldt County Sheriff’s vehicles. One is towing a chipper so it looks like a marijuana mowing operation in full force.

One reader reports that there were “two sherrif trucks, three identical unmarked trucks, two white utility trucks…one with a wood chipper headed out 36 as a convoy.”

Only in ‘Murica can a policy that has failed so miserably still be so active. Long live the War on Drugs!

Don’t you know it’s financially very profitable for law enforcement to bust pot dealers and farms. Unlike street dealers on Wabash, pot growers usually accumulate assets.

Correct. Every bust generates, at a minimum(guessing) $10,000. In lawyer costs alone. It is a thriving speciality here abouts. Bail bonds men will send their kids to Stanford on the 10% of every bond….

Hopefully the growdozers don’t try to run them over or off the road
(like they seem to be hellbent on doing to most everyone else).😬

Doubt it. Most likely a “concerned citizen” like yourself will try to block traffic by driving 10 miles an hour under the speed limit causing the entire covoy to arrive too late to make any arrests.

Quite the contrary! I drive the speed limit. It’s the a’holes in their growdozers who are in such a hurry that they figure that they can outdo anyone or anything on the road.

Yup…growdozers…never mind the BMW passing you at 90, or the volvo doing 50 in the fast lane trying to play traffic cop. It’s all about those big trucks on the highway…only growers speed right?! LOL Honestly, it seems like the average speed on the highway these days is about 80, doesn’t matter what you drive, folks seem to think they are in a hurry these days.

Bad driving seems to be spread among all vehicle types, and definitely not just trucks. Last week I almost creamed a small car passing over the double yellow around a blind corner…. who was passing a honda civic doing about 20mph with a big line of pissed off cars behind it. Both drivers should be removed from the road. The obstacles create just as much of a hazard as the people overly hurrying.

Do 80 on the 36, maybe after the downslope from 3 when it goes flat, cool three jumps there, before it comes out by Home depot.

Still, 36 should only be horses, bikes, and Bulgarian Mule trains…

Shut it down, there are better ways to Lassen.

Haha, a “growdozer” is just a fashion statement. It’s just a big diesel truck that COULD get a lot done, but appears to only be used to go to bars and the local grow shop.

Copter was flying hard all last week on 36, especially around the McClellan Mt. area and up the Van Duzen to Dinsmore It appears to be a wild ride this year for everyone involved. Put on your seat belts. The Sharks smell blood in the water. Any update where the 36 convoy headed ?

Indeed, a wild ride. Someone please we need a Red Cross tent dispensing Xanax and other anxiety meds up here. Goddamn war zone up ‘hur. Worst part is even if you’re a modest sized grower it seems no one is safe. Shouldn’t the sheriffs have their hands full with the Bulgarians and other violent crime organizations that have these huge mega grows?

“Redcross tent dispensing xanax and other anxiety meds” – YES we need this I don’t even live anywhere up there but I will travel. We need outlets all over the county dispensing zanex. This year has been really stressful for everyone since all this waterboard and compliance stuff I think. Anyone who has there affidavit for registering with the county or anyone that can provide a parcel number within 3 miles of a recent bust gets free pills.

I’ve got a patent on a breakfast cereal that might do well before corporations buy all the land, or it goes back to the banks.

Whiskey Xans!
Feel Like a champ!

Who doesn’t like that combo for breakfast?

You’ll grow more with Whiskey Xans!

or some cool line like that.

The county wants .10 cent tax per Whiskey Xan and extra fluoride is ordered in the blue box.

It’s like an Irish Car Bomb, in a breakfast cereal.

There are prizes in boxes, like cracker Jax…

You might find a black tracksuit inside, some have gold chains.

Whiskey Xans….

Shop hard!

You would think those with stress would medicate with their own organically grown herb. Who really wants Xanax? Your backyard dispensary has everything you need.

I got nothing against self medicating on your own stuff, but it effects some people differently. for me personally in times of serious stress I’d take a couple 500mg xanax over a joint If given the option. Smoking makes me think too much and if I am stressed and then smoke, I will becomes even more stressed because of it.

I’m hoping they get at least some of the damned Bulgarians that are threatening even NON Growers as well as stealing ALL available water, no matter who owns it!!! Threatening families as well as children!!! But most likely it will be some Mom & Pop grow & NOT the BIG guys from Bulgaria!!! I think the Sherrif’s Orifice is afraid of them!!!!

I asked the fish and game warden about this last year, Shane told me they don’t bother with the bulgarians because they buy their land and pay their taxes. I’m pretty sure they’re paying something alright.. had a new group up on our Hill get busted last year by the Federal Marshal Service for human trafficking, they’re still there and growing even more this year.

“afraid”, I wonder that sometimes. Not too far fetched to think they are paid off. I can’t figure it out. I wish the Sheriff Office would chime in on why they allow such activities. Is nobody complaining? Maybe that is the issue. The neighbors are afraid to report them.

The sheriff back in ’81 said he was “afraid for his life” to go down into Panther Gap. Situations like that led to CAMP which was a terrible program but it was somewhat justified by the huge and violent grow scenes in some areas. CAMP went into Panther Gap and back of Spy Rock and other celebrated areas of major criminal production before it focussed on little mom n pops, kicked down cabin doors and aimed guns at children. A properly directed eradication program could be a good thing!

Isn’t it amusing…what was a huge scene then was two or three people growing 500 plants hidden in patches in the woods someplace you had to pipe water 1/4 mile. Now a huge scene is a 7 acre light assisted greenhouse in the ag lands

I personally hope a lot of people that DIDN’T sign up do go down after the 23rd. It might help a little with the imminent price drop. Further more it would make my day to hear that the county actually has respected what they said and only went after people who have not signed up. That would be a big ‘in your face’ to all the old school farmers who encouraged people to not sign up.

Nano bots

GPS tracking in 3d mapping.

Applied to an area the bots are trackable and capable.

It helps on a flow chart to find the chain of command in organized/ disorganized crime.

You might have what looks like mosquito bites, but with a magnifying glass, you’ll see a small device on your skin with three antenna and two round humps colored red on the bot.

Hot springs are good at removing them, but it’s like 5 soaks over two days.

If you have mosquito bites look closely at them, soak in hot springs if you see them.

The term “grow dozer” Is given by stupid people who are just jealous. Those are work rigs and family trucks the big bumpers serve as extra protection if you were driving around a corner and mabey a tree is in the road or if a tourist miss judges a corner crosses into your lane or if it’s foggy and you drive off the road. yeah some put them on for show but I see it as extra safety for my family. And yeah people have lives and places to be and are in a hurry to get there best to just pull over and let pass if your gunna take all day getting to where your going!

Sorry ” mama bear ” but if you can wrap your head around simple math you’d realize that putting everybody’s life in danger by speeding doesn’t save you a whole lot of time , sure if you’re driving on a long trip going 15 miles over the speed limit will save a decent amount of time but driving to town like a moron because you woke up at 11 am isn’t doing anybody favors .

I’m pretty sure there was a convoy out on panther gap a week or 2 ago taking care of business. To compare the gap in 1981 to now is not the same back then it was scary and dangerous, and it had nothing to do with different ethnicitys.
To say the sheriff’s are not doing there jobs because they are afraid, or whatever is crazy. There doing the best they can. You see them out there working non stop. Seems like a lot of folks blame the Russians, Bulgarians, Mexicans etc. Maybe because there jealous or trying to cover there own asses.
