A dump trailer? So they don’t leave chipped up “material” on site anymore?

Dope Grows increase food for spotted owls like suction dredging increases food for fish.
Really it’s about money.
The growers, dealers, brokers, realtors and growsteaders are all the mini Rockefeller’s in our midst.
Many are themselves progressives or community hat wearers in order to save face and grease the skids of industry, but the main theme is always capitalism, just like the parent culture that created the black market niche.
Many also are blatant con artist capitalists who have exploited the dumb tolerance of the hippies security culture to turn ranch and timber country into vast agricultural appellations for fetish products that most humans don’t use or need.
A sad terminating point for one wing of a previous generations revolutionaries.
Now the black market status quo is lobbying county officials to recognize their criminality as legitimate and community minded, to not be so harsh with the abatement..
But what do people tell me when I talk down the lofty advertisements of social change idealists? They tell me, “the only constant is change”..
What a bullshit saying.
Well it may be true, but then maybe so is “what goes around comes around”
And every industry must know that eventually the “ chickens come home to roost”

[edit] Spotted owl, that is not going to happen. You really think that having these green rushers, mega growers destroying our environment and tearing out community apart with crime is the answer! This area will survive and survive very well, in time it will thrive once again.

The spirit of our North Coast and the vibrant community will way out shine these punks that think they own the world because of their greed for more money.

Oops, sorry Kym, with the bad word.

Question that would be great if you could research …..What are we looking at as far as total raids this summer/fall compared to raids going back to the mid 1980’s? It seems we are way above the historic level but I remember some pretty intense summers back during CAMP days.

THanks Kym!!

Thanks Kym. I do get a bit fired up when I hear people come to the defense of the mega growers and those that are not liking to see the raids that are ongoing this year.

The younger crowd that has moved into our communities over the last 2 – 3 decades has destroyed much of the environment, and more importantly the strong community feel that the old hippie growers and back to landers had brought to us.

I don’t see how others can’t see that, so it gets very frustrating at times.

When DFW repels from helos in combat fatigues and is armed with assault rifles then it will be like the 80s Bill. They are driving a slow convoy to the property with paperwork in hand, very inefficient. Sorry to burst your bubble, if you wish to get any satisfaction just know the lies the government has told you about marijuana allows them to continue to torment us.

Am I the only one who recalls the U.S. Army raiding Whitethorn in the ’80s?
