[UPDATE 10 a.m.] Aaaand Another Convoy; This Time Near Hawkins Bar

A convoy gathered around 8:30 a.m. in the vicinity of Hawkins Bar out Hwy 299 in Trinity County.  Multiple Department of Fish and Wildlife vehicles and a large wood chipper used to mulch marijuana are parked in a turnout there.

This is the second known convoy in eastern Humboldt and western Trinity today. See this for more info on the Humboldt convoy: Convoy Gathered at Fortuna River Lodge

UPDATE 10 a.m.: A witness described seeing “14 trucks…mostly fish and wildlife…two of which are still in turnout and a couple black SUV” that the reader says are Trinity County Sheriff’s vehicles.

The summer of eradication continues! If only these cretins had filed a proper application with the county and conducted their business on Humboldt Marijuana Exchange LLC…which is the first and and best cannabis marketplace that offers a place for investors and traders to buy and sell virtually any type of cannabis. Y’all should check these guys out, I think they’re on to something…

I more than agree with you Kym and wonder why you have any patience for it at all. Also, this is the disclaimer for the website this person is advertising. So I’m curious what this company actually does do?

The real cretins are those who made millions with unethical practices, then used that wealth to go legal, then demonized those whom did not become wealth via environmental devastation.

There’s a logical disconnect there. Just because a grower did not “go legal” does not mean they did not “become (sic) wealth via environmental devastation.” In fact it might tend to prove the opposite- that they could not go legal because they were unable to make money without ” environmental devastation” and therefore were unable to meet the standards to become legal. Not that there couldn’t be other reasons too.

And what are the dozens of growers in that area going to do about it? They can hide or get charged a misdemeanor while they lose their investment, but you know probably only 2-3 out of hundreds possible parcels will be hit, so really those “criminals” are probably going to do nothing because that’s the game whether it’s fire, police, hogs, robbers, mold or bugs.

Please play again. LEGAL weed is much less expensive in rec states at the street level, even with the added taxes. Its also pesticide free, environmental friendly, doesn’t fund criminals, and it adds to the tax base. The latter is rather important if you like roads, police and fire protection, schools, parks.

Do you believe that most people would rather pay the taxes or pay some criminal enterprise that commits tax fraud, shits on the environment, and pays workers under the table? People who don’t pay their fair share of taxes should be deported to some sheeeethole in Africa where you don’t have to pay taxes on your cardboard shanty.

Good luck selling units for a few hundred dollars to fellow criminals. This is legalization. Its not the free for all yall expected from 64.

“LEGAL weed is much less expensive in rec states at the street level, even with the added taxes.”

Just because this is true in other states doesn’t mean it will hold true in California.

California already produced an 11-million-pound surplus before 64 that supplied a lot of the rest of the country. Then the state enacted some of the highest taxes on licensed cannabis in the nation.

Most of the best areas for growing outside are now under commercial bans. It’s going to be perhaps too interesting to watch, but reports of the informal cannabis market’s imminent death are highly exaggerated.

On the other hand, there’s this: The grandchildren of a friend’s friend (of course) just got jobs in Santa Rosa at $21 an hour, plus benefits (health and 401k.) It’s a legal job with friendly working conditions and I have high hopes (sorry) that it is a situation which will be duplicated as the market calms down.

Do you know why the average Californian voted yes on 64? Or why Canada and Uruguay went full blown legal? Three reasons:
1) TAXES
2) PUT CRIMINALS OUT OF BUSINESS
3) TAXES

Your friend is not a smart shopper. Lowest prices I have seen are in Las Vegas, $200 or less for an OUNCE of primo shit – stuff I have seen in the past for $400. It cost a wee bit more in San Jose. Good luck with YOUR endeavors, quit crying wike a wittle baby alweady. When LEOs leave you with your pockets turned inside out remember what Warren said.

Then maybe you should move to Las Vegas. Obviously you don’t realize that Las Vegas is in a different state, so it doesn’t really matter. Legal market Can’t sell across state lines. Just so you know $200 an ounce is twice what black market weed goes for and no one is going to drive all the way to Nevada for a $200 ounce that they can get for $100 on the black market. And no one in Vegas knows how to grow like a humboldt local.

I’ll type slowly this time. Vegas, street level, one ounce at a time price was $400 in 2016. You know from Bob the dude at the casino bar. Now you can take an uber down the street and get the same quality legal stuff for $200. San Jose, a city in California with really smart people with lots of money has gone through the same price plunge. I reckon Bob is left selling crappy ass blow.

Have you ever been out of so hum? There is a huge world out there. Good luck earning a living selling $100 ounces to each other in so hum. Yall would crap yourselves and pay off that Walmart layaway if you could get $1600 for a unit. In know peeps who can’t give the shit away. $100 pounds! Who would have thought.

People all over the country are growing product that is every bit as good as mendo/humbo, certified clean, pays the tax man vs the criminal networks, and grandma approves. People don’t care about humboldt nostalgia. The game is over.

You know that buying weed in Las Vegas and bringing it to California is a Federal Crime right? You can’t bring weed across state lines, legal or not. You just admitted to a federal offense, a felony that could put you in prison for a very long time, in a public forum online, where anybody can trace your IP address and figure out exactly who you are. Besides the fact that you are saying someone isn’t a smart shopper because they aren’t willing to cross state lines and commit Federal Offenses to get a couple hundred bucks off their ounce, Warren also bags on black market growers, but we all know that Warren is the smart guy who admits to federal felonies on a public forum.

I am saddened by the people who believed all the “hype”, the propaganda about growing cannabis. The truth is since the 40’s in Israel a few scientists/doctors discovered all the medical benefits of this popular herb. I have been in chronic pain for going on 3 decades because a “professional” surgeon botched my back surgery and I was young and healthy and a single parent putting myself through school. This Dr. was never given a slap on the hand or anything negative when he found out. I was a hippie in the 60’s and smoked the herb for years and when becoming a parent decided to stop until she was grown. I now use cannabis successfully for my chronic pain. I love the old sticker that says “Question Authority” as this is a valuable way to live your life. Those of you who think the people who aren’t legal yet are doing this for wanting to stay illegal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many of our finest cultivators who made our finest product what it is today have not been able to because of the many hoops you must jump for this. The biggest hoop is the size of your grow. This shouldn’t be a law. Cannabis is legal. The government is making it easier for many to stay illegal. The law isn’t good enough yet and now we must fight for laws that don’t have changes everyday or so many hoops to jump over many are discouraged. Government is a sour taste in my mouth these days with the right wing taking us down the road to fascism as fast as they can. the corruption of government is so bad it stinks. I have been an outlaw since the 60’s and just because we have this new law that was allowed to fester with nastiness I will remain one…thank you but NO Until our legality is made justifiable then f__k the system

Not one of the things going on right now in Humboldt Co or California is due to right wing politics as it is such a minority that it is close to invisible. It may be fascism but it left wing fascism, which sees no limits on laws. Neither does that one sided view account for all the damage done to society or the economy, which is mostly the by product of leftist wing politics from Clinton the First through Obama, who announced no Federal prosecutions, opening the flood gates for profiteers, then sent in the DEA two years later with huge numbers of ineffectual , military style raids,too little to late.

I wonder if this is a legal permitted grow,tons of greenhouses down there too, There’s a great view of the whole Shively flat from the shively road, it’s amazing that they can get away with growing thousands of plants so close to the river like that, i bet the ground water in that area would be great to drink….NOT.
