We don’t think there’s ever been a bust this big in the Emerald Triangle. Put a link in the comment section to a larger one if you know of it.
Press release yesterday from the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office:
On June 17th, 2019, detectives from the Sheriff’s Cannabis Compliance Team executed four search warrants related to an illegal cannabis cultivation site outside the City of Buellton. These warrants were the culmination of an approximate two-month investigation involving fraudulently obtained State temporary and provisional cannabis licenses and the suspected sales of undocumented cannabis.Caution Tape stretches in front of a large greenhouse raided this week in Santa Barbara County.

The search warrants took place in the City of Santa Maria, in San Luis Obispo County and in the 1800 block of West Highway 246, just outside Buellton City limits. The operation involved 35 detectives, investigators and Wildlife Officers from various agencies. These agencies included the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Cannabis Compliance Team, Special Investigations Bureau, Criminal Investigations Bureau, Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Army National Guard Counter Drug Task Force.A processing area at a cannabis grow raided this week in Santa Barbara County.

The cultivation area itself was located on a property of approximately 187 acres of agricultural land, with just over 60 acres of it being used for the commercial cultivation of cannabis.
From the initial investigation, it appeared the site was used to continually cultivate cannabis throughout the year and at the time of the search, approximately 40 acres was presently growing, with a large amount having been recently harvested. It took a total of four days for the team to seize approximately 20 tons of processed cannabis and eradicate approximately 350,000 cannabis plants, several of which were nearly ready to harvest.Greenhouse full of marijuana.

This investigation was the result of complaints from the public, tips and information provided to the Sheriff’s Cannabis Compliance Team. At the time of this press release, the owner of the property had not been located or contacted, and the case will be forwarded to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office for review of criminal charges.
The case is still being actively investigated and no further information will be provided at this time.

🕯🌳Good morning Kym, Holy crap Batman what a setup.
The cops were drooling over it in anticipation I’m sure!!!! I still think these raids area waste of time & resources go find a damned Meth Lab somewhere & or a Heroin dealer something that really is a DRUG CRIME!!!
Dan, when is everyone going to accept the fact that the most meth is entering the country from Mexico. Gone are the days of bikers making bathtub meth. Of course there are probably some tweekers making their own garage personal use. When was the last time a “meth lab” was busted or stumbled upon?
Why is this bust a “waste of time”. Last time I checked you need a permit that you are following to grow commercial weed. And if you are pro black market, wouldn’t you be glad that this obscene amount of weed was taken off the market as competition?

Big meth lab bust reported in Lodi
https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article23175348.html
Sure blame it on Mexico
February 8, 2019 / 3:44 PM / CBS/AP
Record 1.7 tons of meth found hidden in loudspeakers bound for Australia
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meth-drug-bust-record-1-7-tons-of-meth-found-hidden-in-loudspeakers-bound-for-australia/
Ok,let’s see, Article on a huge bust of meth bound for Australia. Article never says it was produced in the US but does state that MEXICAN CARTELS ARE TARGETING AUSTRALIA.
A lab busted in Lodi. Funny, you say don’t blame Mexicans but the man arrested for the lab is a Mexican.
Your third instance, seriously, a mobile lab in a uhaul. I doubt those guys were contributing much to the meth epidemic.
I didn’t say NO METH is produced here at all but your ‘whatabouts’ are pretty friggin weak.
Do you think they would smuggle meth from Mexico into the states to take it to an LA port to ship to Australia? I think if it was mad in Mexico it would be shipped from ports in Mexico.
Also targeting one article and avoiding the rest shows me where your head’s at.
Doesn’t if he was a Mexican. You asked about, or implied that no meth labs are being busted in the states and tried to put the blame on Mexico.
I proved you wrong in just 2019. Do we need to look at 2018-17.
How about the meth labs right up there in Alderpoint/Rancho Sequoya, for example. And you claimed ” labs for personal use.”
Come on, your not that ignorant.
“But there are some disturbing facts you may not know about the drug: Most of the meth in the U.S. is illegally manufactured in secret laboratories all over the country. “Cooks,” who are often untrained, produce the drug using hazardous chemicals that can cause toxic fumes, fires, and explosions.
In 2014, there were 9,338 meth incidents in the U.S., including laboratories, dumpsites, and seizures of chemicals and glassware. Using data from the United States Drug Enforcement Association (DEA), we examined trends and tracked the locations of these clandestine meth labs across the country. ”

Seriously, your arguments are laughable. Thanks for the chuckle.
This is the place from what I can tell.

Yep. That’s it in the first picture and the video.
Consulted there numerous times.
Patriarchs & hierarchy versus equality & diversity
Sharing & caring versus greed & warmongering I believe we’re coming to the end of a long era and people are going to have to work together Global & figure it out we’re in a lot of trouble socially economically & environmentally most people seem to be blind. Stop and smell the roses the situation is dire but life is good slow down smoke a joint & give thanks
Interesting, I know several long, long time residents of Rancho SEQUOIA. I’ll have to ask them about all those meth labs in Rancho that they’ve never mentioned before. 😂
well, your friends may not have mentioned them, but clearly Ranch is riddled with the stuff. If you do not see that, you may want to educate yourself, honestly.
In fact, what i found annoying about the Murder Mountain series is that it took the Rancho speed scene and made it seem like that was Humboldt weed culture.
one freaky sideshow of the whole i guess, but surely not the mainstream.
Show us proof of these supposed meth labs in alderpoint and Rancho Sequoia I’m pretty sure you can’t I think you just like pointing the finger at whoever is available
Don’t expect logic and facts from him. He posts an article about cartel meth bound for Australia proving MY point but then concludes that it’s actually domestic meth because, well, he’s smarter than the DEA so he thinks this proves his point…
man..you should go and kiss a girl…something…mr.witty
How do you know they weren’t doing all three? What you think PDs only have 2 cops on duty? Your argument is really old and busted.
Omg I totally agree! What a freaking joke! They seize weed, chop it down like it’s murdering people. People pay thousands of dollars in California for permits and many other taxes and fees to be able to grow weed on their own land. I watched a special on this subject tonight and one guy paid over $10,000 just this year to grow 45 pot plants. He said they not only make him weigh the buds but he also has to weigh the stems AND THE LEAVES WHICH NO ONE EVEN SMOKES. They charge him a fee to use the water from the creek as well. WTH…. AND NOW THEY ARE THREATENING TO CUT HIS PLANTS DOWN DUE TO A NEW MADE UP RULE BY THE GOV. THE GOVERNMENT GETS THEIR MONEY AND SH*TS ON US. PRISONS ARE FLOODED AND OVERPOPULATED WITH CONVICTED DRUG FELONS. MOST OF WHICH ARE FROM MARIJUANA. CONGRESS ALONG WITH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE ALL TRYING TO COME UP WITH A WAY TO GET THESE PEOPLE RELEASED AND PUT REAL CRIMINALS IN THEIR PLACE. ITS RIDICULOUS. SOME PEOPLE IN PRISON FOR WEED HAVE SENTENCES OF EVEN 20+ YRS…WOW…MORE THAN MANY MURDERERS! HOW CAN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN!!?? WELL I GOT OFF SUBJECT A LITTLE LOL..BUT THE WAY THE GOV TREATS WEED AND WEED GROWERS P*SSES ME OFF. 😉
Murders get less time in prison that pot growers
Wildlife officers went there? This place was probably producing food for decades. It is probably surrounded by setups that looks similar. Only difference is cannabis is not involved.
A grow that size would reek, too. You could probably smell it from a great distance if the wind was right. What kind of idiot invests that much time/materials/ingenuity ILLEGALLY?
The kind of idiot who has already made millions.
I know, right? They have so goddamn much money, but they had to blow it up ad infinitum. Have never seen the like. Greed really amazes me, it seems there’s just no end…Well, somebody might be tightening their belt after this…and I say bully! I have one question – they clearly had the money and the resources. Why couldn’t they go legal?
Greed shouldn’t amaze anyone at this point.
Way too much information supporting the consolidation of power and wealth into fewer hands.
This is a great time to be rich and in a position to move toward the wealthy bracket.
Feeling puny yet?
This ambitious grow, one of many in the South State, is pretty amazing…
Not really. Despite the state and local politicians destroying the reputation of Humboldt and the Emerald triangle the rest of the country and foriegn nations still recognize us for our dank buds. One thing I guarantee if I say I am from Santa Barbara outside of California they say “where is that” when I say I am from Humboldt they say “got any weed.” So, since my business is weed and growing dank buds I do not see them affecting my business outside this state. However, yes they will affect my business within this state but since before legalization I never conducted business in this state any gains would be a positive for my business and the beat goes on friend 😁
Wow. Just wow.
As a OG Humboldt Grower i am happy about this. Santa Barbera doesnt need to be growing this much cannabis. We need to limit all farms to 10,000 sq ft so that more people can have jobs and its not all centralized to mega millionaire growers. If you make it so only familys can make a living on a 10k sq ft farm it takes the incentive out for these mega corporations.
You sound like a socialist dope grower, not an og. Lmfao
Capitalism is what made America what it is. Without capitalism it couldn’t be called the land of opportunity.
Capitalism is great- with rules. Otherwise we will all be working for one big company.
More like slave labor disguised. Have you been to humboldt? She sounds very og to me.
Capitalism is THE WORST.the only end is 2 companies owning everything. If you like the companies making cancer causing chemicals to also make chemo drugs then you may as well bend over while they getcha at both ends. Cuz thats whats already happening.
An open market system with multiple choices for consumers creates more companies abd encourages competition in the marketplace which benefits consumers. Are you seriously thinking that its great for pge to be the only electric utility for norcal??? They are a prime example of capitalism at its worst. They poisoned a whole town (watch erin brokovich) & got away with it then killed loads of folks blowing up a neighborhood and leaving faulty old parts in rural areas that created fires. Capitalistic tendencies are why your grandkids will be breathing through a respirator their whole lives. Its a system of money > life.
But hey go on hating. When your house burns or falls down dont take any assistance nor use fire dept nor any non-profit group cuz that’s socialism right??? Go live on an island with your other haters&enjoy. Leave the rest of us alone.
Don’t confuse capitalism with corporatism.
Capitalism is the exchange of goods and services without interference from controlling entities. It is the backbone of free people.
Corporatism is legal fictions created under contract with the government to engage in commerce. It is the backbone of a fascist state.
We’re not “confusing capitalism with corporatism…” It is the USA’s extreme “free market” for oligarchical elites that has confused the two! What good is distinguishing the two in America, when they represent a difference without an actual distinction in the 21st century?
Name any part of the USA’s economy that is defined as “extreme free market”. Corporations and the State have been working hand in hand to monopolize markets since at least 1913. That’s is corporatism.
Free market capitalism is the unimpeded exchange of capital, goods and services between private individuals. We haven’t had that… maybe ever.
~well said.
If you hate capitalism so much why not move to a socialist country. Venezuela and cuba are a couple of options
Cuba is not a socialist country. The country is ruled by a military dictatorship. The current administration is trying to emulate the Chinese system of more economic freedom while attaining total control of politics through repression and censorship.
Multiple democratic socialist nations have a higher standard of living, and quality of life than the US.
No country with a socialized economy has a higher standard of living. Every single Nordic country that socialists in the USA likes to point to exercise free market capitalism.
Not sure what you think democratic socialist means. You’re right the Nordic model is not pure socialism, that’s why people call it democratic socialism. But if you want to hold your view to the same standards, not even the US practices free market capitalism. Capitalism is regulated by non-market forces, just not well enough.
“Speaking at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Danish PM Lars Løkke Rasmussen told students that he had “absolutely no wish to interfere the presidential debate in the US” but nonetheless attempted to set the record straight about his country.
“I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy,” Rasmussen said.
“The Nordic model is an expanded welfare state which provides a high level of security for its citizens, but it is also a successful market economy with much freedom to pursue your dreams and live your life as you wish,” he added. ”
https://www.thelocal.dk/20151101/danish-pm-in-us-denmark-is-not-socialist
The Nordic countries tried socialism; it failed. Then they went back towards private enterprise, which is where they are now. And that is the lesson throughout history around the world, including the United States, that liberals, and even Republicans now ignore. The more you go back towards a free market economy, the better the economy eventually does. Then the economy thrives, money comes into the coffers of the parasites (politicians), and the parasites promise to steal that wealth and distribute it to the parasitic, losers in the electorate and the economy begins to decline again. It’s that simple.
There is NOT ONE nation on earth that grew wealthy starting with socialism. The US started w ZERO income taxes, then extremely low income taxes, and vey little regulation/bureaucracy, and grew wealthy. Now we have a massive tax/bureaucracy and welfare state and we’re going broke.
https://youtu.be/0lxD-gikpMs
Furthermore, half of US citizens pay zero income taxes. Not so in Nordic countries. Even low income earners pay high taxes there. We plunder the wealthy in this country and then claim they “don’t pay there fair share”. The gov statistics say otherwise. The top 20% pay 87% of the income taxes (up from 2017) while the bottom 60% pay NO net income taxes (down from 2017, despite libs claims of tax breaks for the rich)
https://dmlnews.com/report-top-20-percent-americans-will-pay-87-income-tax-2018/
The last point: When the government doesn’t own the means of production but effectively controls it through massive taxes and regulation, which is what libs are begging for, that is textbook fascism. Isn’t it ironic how loosely they throw around the term fascist?
But the Nordics participate in socialist programs, besides the free market, as we also do in the USA. For instance, the post office, libraries, public school & welfare.
Venezuela & Cuba are dictatorships, saying they are socialists & communists. Sorry, 2+ 2 does not = 5
just because you have socialist programs does not make your country socialists (like venezuela)
Venezuela and Cuba are Military Industrial Complex’ target$.
if you would like to hear it, the same facts, frome someone else

This article is interesting. The Socialist roots of Occultism. https://heterodoxology.com/2016/05/11/the-socialist-roots-of-occultism/
If they have most of the money, they pay more in taxes. Doh, who knew? Ridiculous statement, that they pay more in taxes. Wow, yeah, some CEO is getting 20 million a year and has to pay more in taxes. Wah hah hah. Yet they often don’t. That’s Why Dear Supreme Leader won’t reveal his tax record.
Remember, the $3.4 trillion added to the national debt on behalf of the 1% has no end. The pennies thrown to the hoi polloi sunset in 10 years. Socialism for the rich.
~i missed reading this before. Very well said. Thank you, rollin.
And . . . . . .those Scandinavian countries have a high “socialist” tax rate which allows the populace that supports and produces the GDP to benefit from the wealth they produce. $3.5 trillion added to the national debt in tax breaks for the 1% is socialism for the rich. But that’s Cool. Far out. Either you have strong unions or you have extreme socialism. You pick.

“land of opportunity” was a dream from long long ago , when there were abundant resources to exploit. Thanks to poorly regulated capitalism, the US has about the same level of social mobility as India. The top ways of moving up in class in the US are; marriage to someone from a higher class, having an extraordinary talent (athlete, entertainer), prize winnings (lottery), then majoring in the right field at the right college, working hard, and being fiscally intelligent is way down on the list.
Compare the poor in India against the “poor” in the USA.
It is better to be poor in the US. The point is that India has only recently gotten the caste system out of their law, and is still very much affected by it. We have around the same social mobility as a nation that is damn near ruled by a caste system.
You’re using very distorted examples to try and make a point. Lamenting that someone can’t make millions a year because they can’t throw a 105mph fastball or make music that people choose to buy is not example of thwarting “upward” mobility.
Compare the other side where someone starts at an entry level position as laborer or service worker and in a few years anyone who applies themselves will usually be paid better and moved into a position of greater responsibilities.
In many other economies if you start life as a laborer that is your caste and you die as a laborer.
I don’t know why people think they are entitled to the high end luxury items that the wealthy can afford to purchase.
The comments are hilarious!
Compare this thread to the earthquake one…a whole different population.
Carry on, keyboard warriors!
TY black rifles matter. There is NO sharing in the weed game. It’s dog eat dog, has always been since I was a kid. Your best friend and/or business partner will stab you in the back of your not careful or aware enough. Legalization has made this 10 fold. Here’s the irony! Gavin Newsome, your democratic pro socialism governor wants to capitalize weed for himself and his handful of cronies. Yes, governor Newsom helped write prop 64 so that the government could take over the weed business and leave everyone else mere pheasants and tax paying slaves while the few are filthy rich selling you your own weed back to you That’s! Socialism ! Free trade and competition is Capitalism. Supply and demand is capitalism. Single market goaverment controlled goods is socialism. Hey, at least there’s free cheese for you though……
Mere pheasants
Hahahahahaha
‘Pheasants” is accurate, hunted, shot/killed, stuffed, mounted, and/or eaten.
Sorry Black Rifles Matter, i am a Republican Pro Life, Pro Gun, Conservative, who grows cannabis legally.
I do not support socialism. Socialism is the system that steals hard earned money from working people to gives corporate welfare to evil corporations and helps to maintains their monopoly’s. This is not real capitalism. And honestly all i care about is the bill of rights and constitution. Crony Fake Capitalism isn’t required. We were sold prop 64 with a 1 acre cap on cultivation, What happened! we were lied too! Small growers want accountability! We have businesses too! They corporations are trying to put us out of business. We should of limited all grows to 10k sq ft that way there would be 200,000 growers all making a living instead of 100 mega grows!
Right on, Jojo.
The one acre cap that was promised to us was lifted at the “11th hour” by “someone (s)” down south . AND no one is Sacto.will talk about it or tell us who “killed” it.
There are “people” working on uncovering this scandal and the story will be told.
Like all those JFK files that are promised to be released.
Big corporations dictate to government officials, because government positions are revolving doors, and if you want that 6 plus figure salary when you get done with your “public service “, you best know where you can parlay those skills so your kids can afford the best education money can buy.
The wait is getting unbearable, I agree. But, in the meantime, there are other releases being dumped on any given day. Some of them have tie in’s to other cases of interest, like JFK. https://vault.fbi.gov/ (Lavey might be of interest).
Judicial Watch has a ton of FOIA releases too. (mostly about those pesky Clinton emails and spygate stuff) They sued Calif voting census and won. Good stuff to go through.
Another FOIA release made a dump night before last of more mkultra projects and subprojects. I think it’s subproject #40 that covers the chemtrail purpose, but don’t quote me on that. (head is reeling). It seemed to tie in with the cell phone pulses though.
https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/73384/new-mkultra-documents-posted-by-black.html
There’s others, but I’m drawing a blank atm.
I’m sure you’ve already read the old Church Committee senate hearings, with Joe Biden and the gang. If not here’s the link. https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/hearings/95mkultra.pdf
Rep Doug Collins is constantly dropping transcripts (spygate), which have their moments.
Same corrupt lobbyists who bribe The Mad Vaxxer Richard Pan, and Moonbeam Jerry Brown in double digit millions to get unconstitutional SB 277 school children mandatory vaccines passed. Online watch VAXXED.
Woman wins Vaccine case in Calif. https://dailycaller.com/2019/06/25/california-woman-cps-settlement-warrant-vaccines/
Apparently, they haven’t quality tested the vaccines in 32 years or so. One article mentioned that the CDC, FDA, HH&S, Legislators, etc are in a heap of coming trouble.
Smile.
That’s the name of the game. They (fed, local, don’t matter) love to change the bill just before it hits the floor, then watch us fight after it either passes or fails.
Other bills have language loopholes that leaves the bill open to ‘lawyer’ interpretation.
I’d love to see mandated classes that teaches the kids how to read the dam things so they’ll know when the voters are being set up.
Same with science reports and how the ‘conclusions’ often times don’t match up with the data provided. What data is missing? How did they arrive at that conclusion when half the data is missing? How did they arrive at that particular conclusion when the data said the opposite? Putting a stop to ‘create a study that supports our preconceived conclusions’ would be awesome.
And also, I beilive what your describing JoJo is actually more like communism.. Comunist parties straight took crops from farmers.. 0 compensation..it doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to the government.. just my 2 cents.
But opportunity is much, much easier when you have $MONEY$ first. And, of course, the 1% who own 98% of all the wealth in America don’t have to earn any opportunities. They are born into success. Or you have access to wealth. That works also. But if you were born into the lower class you have less opportunity because to successfully achieve a professional level making big salaries you will have $100,000’s of dollars in student loans. Children of poor family’s don’t have family members as successful role models. If your mother and father are successful they will be good role models. Of course, if you come from a broken family and one or both of your parents are druggies then your chances to grab an American opportunity is almost zero. Today in America it is all about the HAVES and the have nots. Our country is no longer a Democratic Republic. It is an Oligarchy. An Oligarchy is government by the few, especially with despotic like powers exercised by a small and privileged group, like Rich Conservative Republicans elected or not elected, but you hang out around rich and successful family friends and giant corporations like Walmart, Amazon, Apple, Boeing, Microsoft, Bayer/Monsanto and hundreds of others including the Corporations that make military weapons for corrupt or selfish purposes. Aristotle used the term oligarchia to designate the rule of the few powerful elected or appointed legislators when it is governed not by the best but by unjust, greedy bad people. As with Trump who is an ego centrist and seems only interested in making more money on the backs of low paid workers. And last a great percentage of middle and lower class people do not understand the Constitution and Government BY the People. In fact, most lower class citizens don’t understand the importance of voting. Their thought is my vote doesn’t count because it is only one vote. The is a huge misunderstanding of the power of the VOTE. Especially if you want to be a success in America you HAVE to vote and take part in your Government. If you do not you are giving all of your power to the people at the very top. And you are left with bitching and complaining about all the criminals who have all the money and power over you. Rather than electing a rich Republican who makes claims how his is going to change America for the lower classes benefit understand presidents NEVER make good on their promises. If they did they would be giving up their money and riches to help you and we all know wealthy people don’t do that. It’s called GREED!!! And greedy people never give up their wealth. Like growers greedy people are only interested in making more money. Granted there are people like Bill Gates who are giving back some of their money. But Gates has 70 Billion Dollars. If he spent three billion dollars every year that’s 8 million dollars a day he would not out live his wealth. And the owner of Amazon is richer than Bill Gates. 150 million American workers don’t make wages that is more than what Amazon makes in a year. We are a very rich country but 1% on the population owns 98% of the all America’s wealth.
It’s nice to hear someone talking sense. There absolutely needs to be methods in place to make it only small farms, one person or corporation can’t operate any big farm and make indoor illegal. The environment is dying and we can’t be so greedy as to use more resources to grow medicine and recreational drugs.
I don’t think the other Marxist dope growers are worried about you, but it is a nice thought…
You should send then a greeting card, maybe start a focus group…
Mega-grows have been re-defined today! Maybe you should investigate another line of work.
jojo, nobody cares about your ideas. we need, we need, we need….nobody cares.
the cat is out of the bag. you OP (old poser) growers will fade into oblivion. or move to the city and work for a real farm.
popo – plese protect my legal interests in the weed marketplace by eradicating these punk ass grows into financial ruin, yep we knew you would. popo be making the weed market a much better place to grow, sell, and smoke.
I personally am happy that this bust occurred in Santa Barbara. I do not think they should be growing cannabis there. All production in California should only be done in the emerald triangle.
ppl should be able to grow food and herbs on their own land .. with no expensive permits, or having to show they got 200k in the bank “its a plant” .. what ppl should get busted for is pollution and using chemicals that poison the soil and the rivers and this rule should apply to vineyards and all agriculture no just cannabis. But growing plants should never be a crime. And yes small farmers were lied to there was supposed to be a cap on sq footage but 64 left loop holes for the rich and over regulation for the poor and the medical users
All production in California should only be done in the emerald triangle.
By far, this is the most ridiculous statement you’ve made today.
But you have been making some doozies this last year.
Sorry hun, your just confused.
i think you have not thought this idea through enough. why would you want the ’emerald triangle’ to have a monopoly on weed? to me this is a bad idea.
Jojo. Yeah, the Idea that Cannabis would or should be exclusive to Emerald Triangle , is probably not something that could be dictated.. but there are sensible reasons to keep it to the “hills’ so to speak.. However, I actually think the Hills of Humboldt are the prime place to cultivate cannabis for several reasons..
1) It keeps it more discrete and tucked away. Cannabis farms are loud and smelly, and in my mind kinda slightly unsightly..
2) Keeps it away from minors easier.
3) is actually easier to deter theft. Because it’s out of sight. Really not a need for extreme locked up structures.
4) Because Canabis is a mountain plant. Most strains evolved It evolved on the Hindu Kush mountains. Your fighting Mother Nature, which is expensive to have it in the coastal bottoms
4) Because, taking farm land to grow cannabis is not good in my mind. Or water resources, even from some of the bottoms, especially in places like Desert Hot springs.. no bueno.. 120 degrees every day.. that is a fuck of a fight with Mother Nature.
5) with sensible regulations, reasonable environmental protections,I think cannabis is a great Ag pursuit for the triangle, if they don’t crush us out..
It’s true that Cannabiss can be farmed anywhere, as we are seeing, but it is a very sensible crop for the triangle.. And as we are seeing throught the state more and more counties are saying no to Cannabis cultivation. Especially outdoors.. where it can’t be tucked away… Even Oregon has tightened restrictions on some levels… A monopoly on weed is a bad thing in my mind as well.. but, sometimes with farming, things take regionally, for various reasons..
My perspective..
The emerald triangle is too far, too insecure, too at odds with the environment, and too expensive to do business in the WHITE market. That ship has sailed. Need to be closer to the marketplace. Keep dreaming whilst the market passes yall by.
In a few years the majority of the weed consumed in the united states will come from China.
China is even further away.. hello. At odds with the environment.. what the f industry isn’t.. Yes environmental issues need to be addressed. Far? Nothing is that far. These days. Welcome to the 21st century.. plains trains automobiles..I will keep dreaming, I don’t want to live in the septic city.. TY.. Besides, People are really at odds living next to huge outdoor in the ever increasing population sizes. When they start hemp production on a big scale on the bottoms, sure as heck don’t want to be near that..
The licit lil White Market is the one that is screwed. They have out produced itself with garbage before it even hit the gate…
I agree.
I don’t think the strain of pot that you grow has anything to do with the duration of time as a grower nor the geographic region from which you hail.
Your “OG” is better off growing in the central valley or so cal.
707 prius, I don’t believe that is true.
I also forgot to add that elevation also has an effect on the potency and quality of Cannabis.
Just like coffee. Coffee from different elevations has different qualities, a very good coffee is raised at a very high elevation, and it makes a difference in the coffee market..
Jojo,I hear ya. 10,000 really should have been the biggest Humboldt allowed on the Timber tracks in my mind..or in the hills. I think one way of maybe keep supply and demand balance is to tax it on more of a sliding scale. I personally think the state needs to tax larger grows higher. And maybe the market can find some balance with it? But I think Grows like this illustrates just how useless Track and Trace will be. Just remember Big Gov=big Biznes bottom line. I think in many ways Capitalism has been a super success. Maybe too much of a success.. Maybe to much of a good thing is not that great after all?
Besides this isn’t true capitalism in America, It’s A Polyarchy. Essentially a rich dudes party. Socialism for the rich elite…. and thier circles. everyone else eat gruel…Where polititricks are ment to have one purpose, consolidation of Corporate power…. and economic interests..
Oligarchy
DIRECTOR: Pete McGrain
NOT A DEMOCRACY, BUT A POLYARCHY- Author and MIT professor, Noam Chomsky, explains that the United States is not designed as a democracy. Rather, in theory, the United States system is called a polyarchy, which is a government system created to ensure that the power resides within the hands of the wealth of the nation. The most shocking fact about this system is that the real governmental control rests with those people that are not elected to office. This means that WE THE PEOPLE are still a far way from governing ourselves.

Totally agree, A 10,000 square foot limit….that’s it. I’m glad they busted these greedy motherfuckers. To grow that large without a permit….dumb, dumb, dumb. The more busts like these the better for the small growers…..
U are not an “og” ggrower and probably dont evem know what og stands for. Either if the meanings.
I think that is what they first dangled in front of the voters, then at the last minute pulled that idea of the table. (the idea of limiting grow size for the first few years)
OG? Your pic has you looking maybe 30. The real OGs are in their 60s and 70s now. You just got the inheritance. Also if you look at the foreign nations still around here, they aren’t selling here. They’re sending packaged product back to Bulgaria and Serbia where they can get thousands per pound. Go that route and make bank.
Most Bulgarian weed grown here goes to Chicago. You know, where the Russian mafia has a stronghold…
You do realize that anyone can put a picture of a girl on their profile and call themselves whatever they like, don’t you?
I’d even settle for the once widely touted 1 acre cap that the state suddenly dropped without explanation! 10,000 or less would be a dream-come-true for traditional cannabis family farmers…
OG? You look about twenty.😂😂😂
Too late “OG”
And who is this “we” that you speak of? This society is fueled by the division of the citizens, you feel one way, and many others feel another way, welcome to democracy, and on that note; who is anybody to tell anyone where they can grow a plant? Surface/ground water is going to be the ultimate issue of the near future, not jealousy and hatred towards capitalism. I agree that the laws of that area are pandering to the wealthy, but making ridiculous statements such as all herbs should be grown in the emerald triangle is not the least bit helpful, recognize the fact that this state is too large and practically non governable at this point, humbo has very little to no say at all, so far as politics are concerned.
jojo, i almost never agree with you, but this is truth.
and prop 64 started with an acreage cap, but it got removed after bigfarma got their nose in the game down in Sacramento.
As far as what I am understanding, it’s not the “removing”of the caps pers say, but more of allowing to stack licenses.. that’s the curlprut. I would hope for a sensible solution of maybe 10,000 in the Hills, no more and 1 acre caps, bottoms lands. And maybe some better Capps On Indoors too. It seems like the CCB could actually make a clause so licenses couldn’t be stacked… 2500 medical collective s allowed, and 1000 straight medical.. Perspectively, it’s way too soon to allow huge grows like that in a limited Cali market.. Federal legalization.. maybe less caps… Personally I think the problem is, enforcement of these caps. It’s the same in the Wine industry.. they can’t really keep them in check either.. not really.. Money unfortunately usually runs laws. Bottom line..
JoJo I agree with you on almost all accounts. Smallfry you have alot of great points and ideas. Government makes promises, sets rules for us and says as long as we abide by those rules that promise will be kept. But even as we follow rules, more and more rules are added, more fees, more taxes, more restrictions to the point where there’s no room for human error and they’ve got ya by the balls and they’re not letting go. The government is sneaky, greedy, self serving SOB’s .
Its wonderful to shed the stigma of the epicenter of pot.
It makes sense, as many of us have said, to produce in flatter, more practical terrain.
There it is. Enjoy Santa Barbara Co.
Humboldt (and or triangle) has a lot more to offer for nature, wood products and dairy products as mainstays of economy.
—–
Santa Barbara County comprises the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area. Most of the county is part of the California Central Coast.[8] Mainstays of the county’s economy include engineering, resource extraction (particularly petroleum extraction and diatomaceous earth mining), winemaking, agriculture, and education. The software development and tourism industries are important employers in the southern part of the county.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_County,_California
Humboldt County is a densely forested mountainous and rural county with about 110 miles (180 km) of coastline (more than any other county in the state),[7] situated along the Pacific coast in Northern California’s rugged Coast (Mountain) Ranges. With nearly 1,500,000 acres (6,100 km2) of combined public and private forest in production, Humboldt County alone produces twenty percent of total volume and thirty percent of the total value of all forest products produced in California.[8] The county contains over forty percent of all remaining old growth Coast Redwood forests,[9] the vast majority of which is protected or strictly conserved within dozens of national, state, and local forests and parks, totaling approximately 680,000 acres (1,060 sq mi).[10]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_County,_California
Yes we here in humboldt(or trinity) should focus on our strengths, small scale, quality production. Value added raw materials, etc. We should focus on getting better transportation of our goods out of the area to bigger markets (railroad, or port) and not expect to be competitive in ‘big cannabis’ which is right around the corner.
We have no competitive advantage in a nationwide market for growing weed. We are still hanging onto a bursting bubble. This year looks great in terms of prices, so save up people, and work on plan B.
Bud n Breakfast ….
Indeed.
It’s too late for that jojo. Better to go back to the Fed’s 99 plant limit. But of course, that can’t or won’t happen either. Friend of mine from that area has been telling me about these grows down there for several years now. This isn’t the only one. Their system is more simple than ours up here. Pay all the politicians under the table and they leave you alone to do your thing, with local paper work in place. They have everyone on the payroll; Sheriff/DA/BOS. This one just got a little too big, and they pissed off someone higher up the food chain then they are.
Actually you’re only partially correct. Yes, they’re permitting system is “simpler” but there is no size limit on cultivation so I doubt it was because they were “too big”. Santa Barbara county is realizing the problem they’ve created by allowing people to claim “pre-existing” with no vetting and they also granted licenses without site inspections. They also do not check that projects have all other neccesary permits. So this is only the beginning down there, the county is begining to turn. Hopefully they fix it without becoming another Calaveras County.
Jhon nailed it! Pay your workers AND your higher ups better!
//”They have everyone on the payroll; Sheriff/DA/BOS. This one just got a little too big”//
Not what happened here … There is no “too big” in SB.
Fraudulently obtained licenses? Sounds like my neighbor, [edit] …..
We are already an Obligatory, (Oligarchy, government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group, like conservative Republicans and big corporations like Walmart, Amazon, Bayer/Monsanto and the Koch Brothers for corrupt or selfish purposes. Aristotle used the term oligarchia to designate the rule of the few powerful elected or appointed legislators when it is governed not by the best but by unjust, greedy bad men.) This is what America is turning into. The ultra-rich becoming more wealthy, controlling more of the county’s resources, and Trump is already talking like a despotic dictator saying he can see himself being elected past the eight year term limit for a President. And all because the citizens of this country will not actively take seriously “Government BY THE People”. To many of us listen to media reports from the extreme left and mostly the conservative right and never question the intent of the news stories. Does “Making America Great Again” explain how it will be done? At the rate our country and our Government is allowing the 1% rich to become richer and more powerful is nearing a level of serious concern. Trump’s tax bill hugely gives to the ultra wealthy an avenue towards total domination of the ultimate control of the country and more importantly the citizens. And yet too many of us do not even use the only power we have to control the rich and the elected officials. VOTING! In the near future Lost Coast and this site will continue to find posters bitching and complaining about Gov’t as is done today. And listening and believing ego centered Presidents.
He’s ending the corporate interest and restoring the interest of the people. That’s (one of the main reasons) why the people rally for him.

It has nothing to do with POTUS. It has everything to do with California’s dictatorship and Corporate greed. Calif thrives off the financial incentives provided by the corporate lobbysists. The people (constituents) are ignored.
Despite California’s tough ‘environmental’ rhetoric, Calif has 8 counties with the worst pollution in the nation. There’s something wrong with that picture, especially when the people are loosing their private liberties and properties while being forced to pay for the bureaucracy that is taking their assets away.
Really? Cali has the the 8 worst polluted counties in the country? That one is easy to look up.
When someone cites Breitbart and FOX news you best do your own research. Those news sources are chronic liars targeting Trumps Base, their gullibility is legendary…

Now. Why are people leaving Ca?
Shak says:
…. It has everything to do with California’s dictatorship and Corporate greed….The people (constituents) are ignored.
No, the constituents have voted in huge taxes.
Building regulations and environmental concerns also keep the CA housing market continuously under the necessary levels to house everyone.
This helps create higher property values.
The economic powerhouse that California has become will inevitably make it unaffordable for all.
Pretty simple stuff.
But not as exotic as “Police butt raping Columbine” kids.
And no, we don’t have 8 of the most polluted counties in the US.
Regarding cities, we have 2 of the worst 10.

On counties, I only saw information from 2011, and it showed 6 out of 10 from CA.
I bet weve improved since then.

Yep
You know what though Brian, people are leaving California in droves. The “exodus reporter” for SF gate is now leaving. All this over regulation, at some point is going to have some serious snap backs if Sacramento doesn’t stop with it’s hell bent over taxing, and over regulatory schemes and adgenda.. personally I CANT stand fox or Brienhart news…
https://www.sfgate.com/expensive-san-francisco/article/SFGATE-Bay-Area-exodus-reporter-Michelle-Robertson-13808637.php
Voters approve most of everything.
Yes, there are regulations.
Yes, it’s tough compared to Kentucky or Ohio.
Many small businesses dont make it. Many do.
There is plenty of room for people to come, and people to go.
I’m not going to be bothered by legal migrations for economic practicalities.
If shoes need filling, theres lots of feet available.
The flip side of no regulation is your well water and springs are contanimated with deadly Carbofuran toxins and who knows what else. And that’s just one insustry.
Correction.
Most small business don’t make it.
Some do.

Peace in the middle east, is not a money making business.
People don’t vote for war, they just don’t have much to say about the minds of the elected. Those elected representatives have the largest propaganda machine on the planet working for them, against the people.
Sorry Brian, your wrong about lots of shoes to fill them. Many young people today do not want to be farmers..A lot of farmers struggle to even keep the employment needed..I don’t want Carbofuran toxins in wells, that is horrible. But the point is, these people are farmers and the insane amount of redtape twards them is making it difficult for them to do the actual farming.. they need to do.. That is the point here, The Cannabis industry is not the only Industry feeling the insanity of over regulations.. its being felt by farmers throughout the state.. and much of it is overkill…

Look:
Q: First of all, how many small businesses are there in the U.S.?
A: There are 30.2 million small businesses in this country, which comprise a whopping 99.9% of all United States businesses
Q: In which states do small businesses employ the most people?
A: Small businesses employ the most people in Montana and Wyoming.2They employ 67.6% and 62.3% of the state employee workforce, respectively.
Q: In which states do small businesses employ the least amount of people?
A: Small businesses employ the fewest employees in Nevada and Florida.
Q: How many small businesses are created per year?
A: In a year-long measurement,240,000 businesses were created in the third quarter of 2016.
Q: Is there currently a net gain or loss in the number of small businesses in the U.S.?
A: There’s currently a net gain in the number of small businesses—that gain is 25,000 small businesses as of the third quarter of 2016, to be exact. This number fluctuates with the economic environment.

Now, I imagine your in Humboldt.
I live in Trinity.
Drive on over and count the small (less than 500 employees) vs. big companies you see.
TRB, If your so clever, what are some small biz people can start in Gville to keep the town alive? Maybe a few more real answers instead of statistics.. [edit]
I can’t tell you what will work in Garberville, for sure.
I haven’t been there in 20 years.
Garberville will never die, it’s right off 101.
With less than 1000 residents what do you expect?
It was likely over-producing jobs because of the inflated and unregulated profits of weed….for a long time.
I would not suggest starting a tyedye/incense store.
https://www.alignable.com/garberville-ca/directory/recent
I also would not suggest starting a cannabis company.
Looking at the link above, it seems theres more than the Garberville population needs.
Maybe you’ll get some ideas of what there is LESS of that people need.
What do you think Garbervillian need?
It takes guts and brains to start a business. Sometimes it’s easier to work for another small business than to start one.
I’m sure if you knew how to wrench a bit you could find work all day in any Emerald Triangle town.
I’ve started one business, notice to public and all, all I can say is give it a go if you think you have something to offer.
From what I understand is there was about 12,000 people in the greater Southern Humboldt area. It might be easier to work for a small business or any buisness really, but it for the most part will probably not be very profitable. Hopefully less headache…Actually I think Gville needs quite a few more dispensaries.. What the F.. all the greatest canabiss the planet and like one dispensarie. Pretty sure THATS also a recipie for disaster. I mean in some small Oregon touristy towns there are like 5 or 6 dispensaries.. And they are surviving… (some).. Actually most.. so far..
And YES Bring back the Squirrel.. make it electric so you can hear the birds. Oh, and Segway tours.. tourist love that.. Stoned Segway tours to different dispensaries, and through the Redwoods.. Or.. a get stoned in a huge tree.. The baked thru tree.. with complimentary munchies.. I don’t fing know.. suddenly I feel the need to paint a giant Campbell’s soup can and call it art…
Your statics though Brian, are a little off.. sure there may be a number of small businesses is the triangle, because people here like to support small businesses.. which is awesome, and also based largely on Original Market backbone.. much different in other parts of the country.
And there is a huge difference between big farms, small farms, success, and small businesses. I understand the odds here in the triangle, I just really do not appreciate the major Green Wash to paint the emerald growers as environmental terrorists either. I feel like it’s very convoluted, based on hype, and throwing everyone into a largely stereotypical lie.. essentially. With the adgenda to drive people out of thier homes.. that is BULL..
This is pretty interesting: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-california-census-migration-20181221-story.html

But the latest data are far from dire. The U.S. Census Bureau, in its newly released surveys for 2017, shows that California’s net migration remained fairly stable. Since 2010, as the economic recovery took hold and housing prices skyrocketed, departures accelerated — but the number of newcomers rose steadily as well.
The state attracts a steady stream of college graduates, especially from the East Coast, even as many less-educated residents move to neighboring states — and to Texas — in search of a lower cost of living.
“The cost of living, especially housing, is what stops the whole world from moving to California,” said USC demographer Dowell Myers, a longtime census expert. “Otherwise, who wouldn’t prefer California? We have superior weather. We have mountains and oceans. And we have better jobs — better paying and more specialized, whether in tech, entertainment, the arts or medicine.”
In the 1980s, Myers said, “millions of people came to California — too many — and that created an anti-growth backlash.
Sure.. Kym.. the “better educated” are not going to “farm” your food. Great.. lots of high tech workers displacing farms. Who needs to eat.. google will feed me.. I mean I have definitely seen once proud farms turned into suburbia over night.. that’s not good.. in my eyes.. And, just so you know it’s not just “farmers” Frustrated. Especially in like San Fransisco.. it’s like school teachers, and public services workers. Did you read the story about the School teacher in SF who was Homeless? Even though she made decent money. She couldn’t afford rent on her own. Empty store fronts.. Masses of homelessness.. Big problems here in California. And the overly educated have failed to fix them.. People have over educated themselves into oblivion.. Gentrified the whole freakin world.. Anyway, I am not leaving. I love Cali. I am going to dig in an hang on.. Most small businesses don’t make it.. truth.. Some of my family did, and did well, others failed.. But the ones who did well, kinda a different time, different circumstances.. for sure..
I’m not denying there is a problem, SmallFry. Just saying there are other factors that you didn’t address.
Well Kym, I will say that Trumps policies, from what I understand have been hard on some of the farmers as well especially the Dairy Farmers. Lots of complications with terriffs.. This is just what I am hearing on NPR. Or reading in articles, not real word experience, and California may have some buffer from that because we actually do have a really great market for smaller dairies, From my perspective. But I am not exactly sure what your asking me to address.. but I will add that..

@Small Fry @10:24
True enough, they were stressing out at first. But now that they understand the long run, they’re pulling for the fair trade deals. Fair trade deals means that the imported goods will cost less to purchase, the Fed income tax deductions from their pay will be less, … they’re understanding that once they get through to the other side of this frightening and stressful situation, that things will be more productive for them. In the meantime, yes, they need our help to get through the rough times.
https://www.dairyherd.com/article/dairy-cooperatives-appreciate-tariff-aid-demand-stable-trade
Well, I hope they are able to pull thru this.. I think part of the problem was supplementing them big in the first place and then overproducing milk like crazy. Just my perspective though.. But I wish them the best regardless!

“California cities occupy seven of the top 10 positions in the U.S. in the year-round particle pollution category. California cities also take six of the top 10 spots in the short-term particle pollution and ozone categories.
These rankings are at least in part due to the wildfires presently ravaging the state. As the fires set regions ablaze, they also send smoke and ash into the atmosphere. These fine particles can travel up to 300 miles from their source — affecting a wider swath of individuals than those who live in close physical proximity to the fires.”

While we’re on the subject of Santa Maria, mentioned in your list and just north a bit from this bust, it definitely has bad air quality, especially during inversions. I worked there for a number of years. The night fog would leave an oily residue on my windshield, no one could ever explain it to me. West of town stretching to the dunes and the town of Guadalupe and hwy 1 were strawberry fields, broccoli and cauliflower fields and sugar beets. Up until a few years ago the farmers were still using methylene bromide to gas the soil around the strawberries, effectively gasing the whole west side of town if the onshore winds were still and there was an inversion. There was a lot of agriculture dust always present as well. That being said, I’m suprised it made the list in the grand scheme of things.

Nothing new, lots of people eeking out as many seasons as they can on their defunct, fraudulent, cover story “permits”.
500 + temp permits growing in humboldt have not even responded to planning dept requests . at some point john ford said his dept may have to transition from abatement s to actually doing compliance checks and enforcement on rogue permit holders ! ( john ford -kmud interview ) .
You mean these mega-grows that pretend to be legit? So he finally admitted it yet…they are still being protected by the county and by him. Then you have the ones who are still dragging their feet on full permitting while selling 85% of their product on the dreaded black market. He knows this yet his department puts out abatement notices for small greenhouses -some less than 500 square feet. I would call him “complicit” at this point in a “conspiracy” to “aid and abet criminal activity”. Along with the supervisors….Yet as we speak illegitimately semi-permitted mega-grows are pulling in deps and illegally selling them to east coast markets. That is what John Ford is allowing and encouraging.
This is true, too many intern county permit holders do not have a state temp or annual / provisional. Humboldt county is a joke, they need to raid all the so called legal farms who do not have there full permits.
Interim, not intern.
This is what XOTIC FLAVRZ wants their neighborhood to look like..
Humboldt supervisors give them to Eastern Europeans BTW. Money talks.
Buellton is home to Pea Soup Andersens, where there’s an all you can eat pea soup challenge with some huge Texan holding the record at like 26 bowls! It’s a Dutch-style tourist town so tons of cannabis fits right in.
I went there as a kid and I thought it was disneyland!
My record is 10. I was raised on that shit, love it. Best with oyster crackers and cracked pepper.
Army National Guard Counter Drug Task Force ???????
that’s a new one
Actually it is an old one just being revitalized under the guise of legalization we know it as CAMP.
Price stabilization, that’s all. Everyone back to work. There’s tarps to pull and plants to water.
Too much grow gets you Oregon.
With this kind of production in the legal (?) and grey market(?), pretty soon nobody will need to travel to Humboldt to score weed….
They will be shipping fine flower by the rig-load out to the East Coast, and Humboldt weed will be selling for $15/lb at farmers markets by 2020.
40,000 pounds….. GTFO
They no doubt produced their own clones…..
Just look at this grow- and you doubt their ability to produce their own clones? Silly you….
Holy Brick weed Bat man. 🤔
Pretty sure there have been grows in Humboldt with over 100,000 plants. A few years back out Horse Mtn…
Check this place out!
34.728718,-120.135329
Or this place!
34.609391,-120.218639
Both could be the size grow that they describe..
Or how about this one…
34.636733,-120.249918
All within a few miles of eachother!
That’s the raid location…
Correct
“Organic Green Farms” if one is looking up the license
Bulgarians about to prove you wrong. If everyone’s eyes weren’t spotlighted on the emerald triangle people would be doing that much. Hence why Santa Barbara could get away with this for many years most likely. Some of those greenhouses were a day away from harvest I’m sure. How did they not get hit yet 😂
…approximately 350,000 cannabis plants, several of which were nearly ready to harvest….
Several…?
Acres?
Or hundreds of thousands ?
Dang.

“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence – on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.” –John F. Kennedy

That quote was about Soviet communism. Great job copy-pasting completely irrelevant horseshit AGAIN.
Inside the ring, the bullfighter must focus. There, the words of critics can’t reach him. He is the center of attention, of all speculation. But he is alone.
Soviet Communism didn’t whack JFK, it was ….
That same underbelly he spoke about in that speech.
Way more profound that anything you’ve said, or ever will.
Which side are you on?
I’ve consulted regularly on this grow. A large berry and pepper farmer (thousands of acres) who jumped in big having never grown cannabis. He was the first guy in CA to stack over 200 licenses.
It was this one: 34.638285,-120.250133 (though it grew since that satellite shot)
Also, for those that read the LA Times expose on the large SB County grows a few days ago, it was the one flown over in the accompanying drone video.
Food creep….
Wine creep….
Now it’s weed creep…
Those hills will never look the same.
Do I hear 2500 a lb this summer? Lol
Prices are sky high. Nothin around for love or money that’ll get you high
But remember, it’s a bubble. It’s blowing up in our faces as we speak.
A few perspectives from Raisin farmers, with simular over supply issues..
‘Though the law in question is not currently used to seize raisins or most other crops, Horne’s claim won the sympathy of the court’s conservatives, who said the government regulation was more befitting of a socialist regime and denied farmers of their rights to private property. A majority appeared ready to strike part of the law as heavy-handed.’ The article states..
https://www.governing.com/topics/transportation-infrastructure/tns-california-raisins-court.html
A farmers perspective.. over regulations, down to EXACTLY how much fertilizer he can apply.. over the top..
https://www.westernfarmpress.com/grapes/low-prices-regulations-threaten-raisin-grower-s-survival
Another issue weighing heavily on Sangha’s shoulders and his bottom line is the impact of government regulations on his operation……
Sangha explains, “I’m just trying to survive. Survival makes you innovative.”
“It’s a big issue,” Sangha says. “I spend a lot of time filling out forms for different agencies. You have county pest reporting, the water issue, nitrates, and soon will have to report our nitrogen applications.”
The combination of these and other regulations are pushing Sangha to the edge.
I think we are headed to government telling us how much fertilizer I can apply. I think they’ll dictate from Sacramento what I can do rather than my PCA or my CCA.”
The bottom line – regulations threaten the economic viability of his farm.
“I don’t know how much longer we can farm,” Sangha says. “How long will the people in Sacramento allow us to farm here? It seems to me they don’t want any more farming here.”
He added, “Every time they vote on something (regulation) it cost me money. No one has ever come from Sacramento to talk with me about how this (proposal) would affect me. It seems like they just don’t care

What’s ironic is that Santa Barbara County would have most likely given a permit to these folks to operate legally. They certainly are giving permits to grows of this size. They of course would have have needed to wait for a state permit too. They are interested in a county tax on the net profit on cannabis growing businesses that mainly operate on existing big Ag properties and are welcoming projects like this with open arms. There was an article in the Press Democrat last week that sited two permitted farms being established in SBC one was like 147 acres and one was 80 acres. I don’t object to the size of the farms, this is America. It is scary that a handful of these could fulfill the track and traced demand for the state, but grows of this scale won’t produce the best product and be more likely to shutter if they can’t sell their product. Having gone through the permit process in Humboldt, I feel it’s insulting that they are handing out permits in Santa Barbara County without even a site inspection or any of the countless costly, difficult, bureaucratic, and extremely time intensive hurdles that we have had to overcome up here to receive what in comparison feels like a “good luck loser” permit.
Those supervisors realize economic potential, unlike these supervisors. The people who are transitioning into this market come from deep agricultural pockets. The wine and food, and real estate, from central coast has made many people incredibly wealthy, and powerful.
SB county is one of the largest old boys network’s In the state.
From the Acting US Attorney 30 years ago, it was also one of the most corrupt.
Strategic planning for one isn’t necessarily strategy for another.
//”What’s ironic is that Santa Barbara County would have most likely given a permit to these folks to operate legally.”//
They DID give them a permit… more than a year ago. So did the State (over 200 of them stacked).
“Organic Green Farms” in the state licence database lookup.
Yeah, I was reading an article, Press Democrat, about some Santa Rosa permits.
https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/9711880-181/sonoma-county-begins-to-process
One thing that struck me, one county a permit, around $3500, Sonoma county.. $300,000..
So it is definitely the counties descresion on what they charge, seems pretty corrupt to not have some sort of constant base.. You can put in a small vinyard for $450.00 permit fee. Very inconsistent permit fees for Cannabis.. I know for with out a doubt that the county knew full good and well that huge grows where like this one where to come up.. It’s not only the shafting of the Originals, It’s also a HUGE shafting to the legal pharmers in Humboldt.. Just my thoughts…
“It is scary that a handful of these could fulfill the track and traced demand for the state, but grows of this scale won’t produce the best product and be more likely to shutter if they can’t sell their product.”
The weed market is 75% oil. They will sell their product. Like Amazon, they can afford a small profit margin (or even a loss) while low prices drive out the mom & pops. Budweiser wins. The fix was in when Sacramento scrapped the acreage limits for grows.
Yes. Thank you for noting what I have been saying since before the vote to “legalize”. the deep pockets can afford to actually lose money for years while they destroy competition. Indeed- that is how American monopolization works. Then when they have buried the competition they jack prices to whatever the market will bear. By voting in this model of “legalization” we have allowed them to do this. Enjoy your “freedom” everybody!
People have to realize that’s a minimum of 60 million in that one bust and/or harvest. 60 million!
Not even close. These were tiny, closely spaced autoflowers for oil.
JB.
I’m listening to your insight on this operation. Thanks for sharing.
So why do you think the farm was raided, if you can say.
It’s because of the single signature affidavits that the county required for the temporary permits, based on pre existing grows. The county has begun doing the work to fact check those pre existing grow claims, especially when the neighbors are extremely wealthy and influential, and “bothered”.
There are plenty of reports that people who are connected aren’t under the same scrutiny.
Imagine that.
Pay to play.
Same old song, different neighborhood.
The county gave first dibs and fast track permits to anyone who *claimed* to have been cultivating under 215. One did not have to provide any proof of this ‘prior art’ other than a signed affidavit and no follow up by the County was required (all in BOS minutes).
Large SB berry/pepper farmer J*** C******* purchased the property (had been used for cattle previously) signed affidavit (actually his brother signed …) and got County permit. Then used this County permit to get over 200 stacked state licences.
He got sideways of Pence winery next door and Pence had the goods on the previous land use. Here we are.
Others will follow … And I mean other BIG ONES. Most of them in the same boat.
How could they not have gotten “Sideways”, is the question here.
I always say the government is like a long line fisherman, who can let that fish take as much line as it wants, but a fish on, Is a fish on, and the “man” can start reeling it in at any time.
There’s probably quite a few in the neighborhood working overtime to avoid the obvious.
Is that a joke. 40,000 lbs of processed marijuana x 1500 a lb is 60 million. Maybe you can do the math at 1200 if that makes you feel better. Nice weed on the black market is going for 2k right now. I’m not an idiot,neither are the guys running this.
Dirt grown autoflower oil weed goes at trim prices … No matter the market.
That product was selling for $150 and less dried and bucked in quantities of ton(s) or more. (No, I’m not guessing).
And who would care if a few hoops were prime cuts and 10,000# don’t turn up??? T&T.. Sure.. $150 a#…And Monkeys live on mars, doesn’t mean you beilive it..
Hmmmm well That does change price quite a bit! Ty Those buds in pics look pretty nice though…..? Guess I’m spoiled up here in so hum
Totally spoiled: no question Humboldt has the kindest of the kind.
It doesn’t look like oil weed to me. Looks like nice plump flowers. You are more informed about this operation than me, but I would expect they price to be higher than 150. But, I would guess the cost of curing and manicuring that much flower, and the infrastructure needed, might make it more likely to be an oil operation.
lol, damn, good eye!
Bet it isnt even good bud… dont give me no bammer weed…. we dont smoke that stuff in north cali… lol playing lots of people smoke bunk ass bud and do dirty dabs, bleh! I hope all the people working for them got paid already.
does it look like bammer to you, if so you need to maybe zoom in. I had to put caution stickers on some cookies I made once. historically cannabis was in the emerald triangle for 2 reasons and one of those reasons doesn’t exist anymore.
Is this the same farm that was highlighted in the L.A Times about a week ago?
Because based on its assertion that that County had way losses regulations than our uptight County I was considering researching a move to there.
This is one of the farms featured in that article.
Does anyone recognize the machines in the picture captioned processing area? Thanks!
~no. I think the indoor facsimilies are machine trimmed, after flash-speed dried, and no cure time.
they outdid Jimmy the Geneouse.Cheech and Chong would be proud.
Interesting there was no report of arrests ,, seems it would take quite a crew to pull off this operation,,
In other parallel news, for every LA Country dispensary that is unpermitted, busted, and closed, three new ones pop up, like wackamole. Also delivery services not even in the enforcement picture.

He’s a documented phony quack 26 years before you posted this comment.
https://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/neural.html
Your welcome.
What is the problem with the MESSAGE? ???, ………BRIAN?
This guy practiced Neural Therapy, and was disciplined by the New Mexico for assisting another Medical Doctor, who was unlicensed in the state of New Mexico.
Does that make him a quack???
I think we both know pros and cons of western medicine. If you hit a tree at 50 on your snowmobile, you want emergency room doctors to fix you up. If your shoulder lacks range of motion after the surgery, who’s going to help you mitigate the level 6 chronic pain?
The allopathic doctor would most likely prescribe pain killers, or drugs if your Physical Therapist couldn’t get your back to 100 percent, pain free.
This is why people are choosing Chiropractic and Other alternatives in search of a pain free solution to traumatic injury.
Can you explain why Adult Stem cell treatment is strictly prohibited in the USA, considering it’s track record is phenomenal?
Is he a “quack”, because the Arizona licensing board considered Neural Therapy “substandard form of care?
There’s countless examples of people running from the western medical model because it’s a very narrow focused option for people who find the options for treatment limiting at best.
So….What’s your problem Brian?
Do you spray glyphosate on your apple trees, in your garden?
Have you any issues with the actual message, or can you not look at the message?
We are being assaulted by toxins in the food, air and water, and all you want to do is sit there everyday and attack the messenger, not the message.
Lets be real, brian.
How could you? That would require way more time and energy, and who know’s, you might actually learn something?
Have you done the research on the levels of Aluminum in our environment, and the correlation between heavy metals and neurological disorders?
The levels of Aluminium are causing a dramatic shift in soil pH as one retired US DA soil biologist remarked from lookingat the soils in your neck of the woods.
How many people involved with first hand knowledge or witnesses from 9.11 have been silenced or marginalized for simply presenting their truth?
How about the Scientist from UL?
Does every one of CHCo, posts , pose information that really worth all your energy trying to attack the messenger, because you can’t touch the message?
How many whistleblowers have you spent time supporting? Our government is suppressing free speech with over zealous people like you doing their bidding.
Skeptics are important, but they need to do a better job of removing inherent and blatant bias, from affecting their own research, and often putting themselves in a marginalized category, just as those people they are trying to disprove.
“BIAS”
We have many quacks who go on quacking with the support of the the mainstream media , not to mention modern medicine, and their propaganda and lies, and checkered past. You should know that by now.

Research this!
What’s wrong we with knowing more about what your posting?
Pseudoscience should not be confused with real knowledge.
I wont watch James anymore. He is a laughing joke to me. His most popular video used an article of mine, 10 years ago. Woopteedoo.
Now he’s just enjoying your clicks so he can have a self-employment position of power. I’m not gonna pay him. He lost his stride a long time ago.
Yes, frauds are given airtime on national media.
Yes, more frauds are given clicks and ad dollars by people like Shak and HumCo, and others.
It’s all quackery to me.
But fine, here’s from your link, and just a snippet, so you can see its really just belief that your relying on. Belief is what I love to destroy, in any form or fashion.
Ok:
Neural therapy is based on the theory that any trauma, infection, or surgery can damage the autonomic nervous system and produce long-standing disturbances in the electrochemical or electromagnetic functions of tissues.3
If there is a disturbance of the autonomic nervous system, the resulting dysfunction can last indefinitely unless repaired.
When the autonomic nervous system is injured or not functioning correctly, various consequences result.
An example is blood flow going out of synch with demand in an area that needs it, such as a soft tissue injury, thus resulting in incomplete healing. It has been reported that “a correctly applied neural therapy injection can often instantly and permanently resolve chronic long-standing illness and chronic pain.”4
In my experience, it usually requires more than one treatment to reach this end. However, theZ phenomena of a “lightning reaction” (instant reaction) has been noted by researchers
Ok. Do you see? They dont know shit.
Theories, phenomena, reports.
Psuedoscience 101.
Go get your injection for an instant cure! Oh. You need 7 shots. Maybe they weren’t “correctly applied”. Woops 7 didnt work either.
Try church and Jeebus for a real healing! Lol.
There is a whole realm I think you might be missing as a skeptic, so hell bent on being “right”, as you say.
It may just have to do with that belief in something greater than ourselves.
Putting down people like James, and his established track record of education, Is merely symptomatic of a rigidly held belief system that is determined by a very narrow mindset.
I pointed to the neural therapy in hopes you might pick up on the work they referred to the body”s meridian energy to determine where you are imbalanced.
Our bodies are affected by electromagnetic fields and countless other things you might determine to be pseudoscience, yet the message was about Glyphosate, Aluminum toxicity, which hasn’t been addressed by you. That was the main thrust of my response.
Our environment is our food source, pollution of one is pollution of ourselves.
That was the message, i believe, that Hum Co was bringing up, in reference to growing industrial scale cannabis.
It obviously requires more attention and research.
Its pretty clear that you think the message of Glyphosate and Aluminum Toxicity and now, the microwave technology is nothing to worry about?
What I’m trying to do is help you be more credible.
Why use a discredited doctor when credible outlets support your position:
https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/02/14/health/us-glyphosate-cancer-study-scli-intl/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
Or:
https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/06/24/health/dementia-risk-drug-study/index.html
It does no one any good to attach good information with bad actors.
Does every one of CHCo, posts , pose information that really worth all your energy trying to attack the messenger, because you can’t touch the message?
The messenger was left alone.
The message was destroyed because the message is garbage.
It took me 30 seconds. HumCo could try looking into the trash before posting it.
But I’m pretty quick. So your welcome too.
How about the Scientist from UL?
Stephen Jones is also a quack.
He thinks hes about to harness free energy, any year now.
He has not ever responded to the best critics, and backing up his early research is lacking.
You want good sound reason re 9.11, follow David Chandler, Jon Gold, Kevin Fenton or John Duffy and Ray Nowosielski.
But why the heck are we discussing this and pseudo-medicine on a Santa Barbara raid article?
“Belief is what I love to destroy, in any form or fashion.”
Wonderful statement.
Maybe that can your moniker?
At least you are attempting to be more polished, with less vitriol.
You aren’t saving anyone from more trauma, Brian. I think this is a ego driven mindset, based on plenty of your past experiences where you came up short.
It’s all good. We are all breathing in the same air, drinking the same water, eating the same food.
Have you read the Tao?
“The tree that does not bend, breaks….”
Belief is a lack of knowledge.
I try my hardest to not believe anything, and rather say “I don’t know” or do my damndest to find out.
I do not believe in god.
I do not believe in aliens.
I do not believe in Atlantis.
I do not believe in belief.
I know the earth is round, theres no evidence of Atlantis or similar “lost wisdom”. Theres no evidence of God or alien visits, either.
That is a more reasonable expression of my soundbite you chose.
This isn’t a discussion about trauma. Are you bringing up something else now? Why?
Is it not clear that spreading rumor regarding trauma victims is not empathetic?
We all have egos. If you want to bring mine up, feel free. I dont know enough about you.
But I’m not making it about that.
I posted two important links regarding a Doctor HumCo watches and promoted here.
Love it, hate it.
Ying, yang.
Boom, bam.
Accept everything. Believe nothing.
The issue was Aluminum, glphosate and other biologicals, in our air food , and water. That was the message.
You attacked the messengers, again. Which is easier than the message.
Having a modus operandi that includes “destroying belief” is a strong statement.
I’m not going to help you if you don’t see the importance of paying attention to the growing levels of harmful toxins in our environment.
I understand people make mistakes, …as you’ve admitted ,and I certainly have made them as well.
It’s good to be a skeptic about everything out there, but there is a long track record of unethical human experimentation without the consent of the people, hence the reference to the journal last night.
I’ve sent you plenty of links, but if y’all got it figured out, more power to you and your family. I’ve read your blogs and seen a small amount of your work.
Attacking Corbett for what? He’s done more to educate than you have, although it’s not to say, that you haven’t tried to teach, it’s just that you aren’t very good at encouraging others.
It’s healthy to challenge and question other people and their “beliefs”, assumptions and methods of coming to a conclusion.
It’s really hard to listen to you when you toss the tarp of negation over an entire subject, because of those who discuss it.
It really is hard to cast stones when there are real Issues that need to be discussed.
I’ve heard enough from you to be skeptical of your final word on anything. You are really too quick to judge. It’s one thing to disagree and dislike someone, but it’s entirely another thing to refute a person’s entire scope of work, simply on a few areas that may or may not have full approval of the entrenched scientific community.
Ive seen enough research on glyphosate, and aluminum and other toxic chemicals that pose a risk to our health that refuting it with claims of pseudoscience, just puts you on the wrong side of humanity.
That’s a horrible place to live.
Even Hitler had good intentions for the German people. He just was a bigger pawn in a larger chess game.
Read Balfour Declaration.
Skeptical of the skeptics, who say there is nothing to learn from a history of aggression and covert agendas.
For all we know, you might have your own.
It’s no wonder you sleep well.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants, and you think highly of your place in the food chain.
Did you achieve your place in life all by yourself, or are you still standing in the shadows of your ancestors?
Till next time Sid.
Have a good one.
Just do some research on those subjects, and I’ll be there in gratitude, sans attitude
Wow, CH, that was a super informative video, thanks for sharing it with us. Everything he said has been shared by others here and there, but he put it together in a very concise and practical way. I hope this video goes viral, it’s jam packed with important info.
He even ties it all in with Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Helpful info!
Remember when Dr. Enstrom (sp?) was discredited, smeared, fired, for defending what the test results really said instead of what the green agenda political gamers wanted it to say? After many years, he was finally vindicated, but nobody cares enough to undo the harm that the study twisting agenda pushers caused. Sicko’s is too kind of a word for the likes of them.

The indigenous, as you know, are either kept so poor via regulations that they have no income to be taxed, or… their treaties declared they don’t have to pay taxes… or both.

That’s because bigger grows than twenty tons in the emerald tri didnt get busted, they got harvested, your stupid headline comparing a bust to what goes on in the emerald tri is just a huge compliment to the fact that we grow trees, not plants, and their is a high probability that the Barbara weed was garbage, and that raids by cops have never released the true amounts of what they get in raids in the history of making raids, cool story bro

Who was in charge of the Cannabis Control on this little foray into politics ? Why, none other than the top guy Gavin Newsom. How else can a bust of this weight and sheer worthlessness make headlines? Make it happen ‘o messiah of California Cannabis Uncontrol.
Up North where we still cultivate the finest we can hear the laughs at these types of setups. Pure nonsense, with humor. Wasted effort. Media hype.
The tonnage rule will need to be instituted in order to maintain some semblance
of credibility. It’s like … How many tons of worthless weed equals one ounce of Triangle weed ? Ask somebody who is “legal”.
The worst of the “legal” sure does make the best of OG look good.
~right on.
~seems like a big split would be to label Non-Glyphosate . . like foods are labeled Non-GMO.

~thanks, Sid.
~geema, neema, Sid.
The more i know, the worse it gets.
~we can’t get away, so we might as well get ready for it.
It’s bad alright, and China’s been poised to fully control all of it. (so has the DS).
Shak, did you get to listen to Corbett interview Allen Phillips? Good truths

Just now finished, yes. I think Corbett is an incredible researcher, a highly intellectual individual, but… sometimes he opens a window then slams it shut out of fright. I wish he would turn over more rocks and follow all leads, instead of happily skipping down his preferred trail. In this 5G episode, he backed off and went the easy route (blame the orange man, forget about the Chi-fi, SAP, and other spy events). I think he’s terrified of learning that his favorites aren’t as wonderful as they appear on tv. Other than that, he’s still slaying it.
““I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high—to permit the customary passions of political debate. We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future.” -JFK
Humboldt was the first to let the catz out of the bag on stacking license in showing the state how to Chronie up and Skermish around the rules. The very first grow Humboldt vowed to permit, 7 1 acre grows.. Thanks Humboldt.. U did the county a real service with your Eco Chronie Wash to Get us out of the hills.. now the big guys are ready to sink your battle ship.. The county thought they were so clever, gonna Take the Market by Storm with thier big ass sails.. Well it seems like there are even bigger corporate pirates in the water now.. but you know, at least you charged an Arm and leg and maybe a few extra body parts for your worthless Licenses.. Good Job..
Rod Grass and Farce are right and this corruption with the CDFW, this is like the biggest episode of American Greed Ever. The corporate elitist get tonnage while the rest of us here have to BEG for permission with extra 000$ to even have our 6 messley plants.. pretty sure if I had 100 tomatoes plants Hienz ketchup wouldn’t be barking at my door with abatement letters. And now, I am an Illegal in my own Country because I had a few more plants that some Corporate asshair was jaded about…
I knew they would be pumping out this garbage. I have been selling Cannabis since I was 18, talk about starting a small biz ness. Canabless always had my back.. But one thing that echoed in the time I have been in the canno industry. People want the kind Chrons not the super stuper styrophom ladden crap pumped out by lousy greed growers.. That Bammer spam loose leafed Glypho- Chromium Chemie crop ain’t good for nothing but a giant whole in the ground.
Mr. Newsom ‘o Messiah of Cannabis uncontrol (so true).. And his Cronie Commies at Pretenda control R Us, can take his slimmy Extortion ring, along wit Evil Corp, can go suck a tail pipe to Nirvana land…lousy fing dollar huggers.. Those pigs need to find ANOTHER trough to stuff thier guts out on..!!! OG Pharmers Matter!!!! Reserect the Squirrel!!!Gavin Newsom de F out of Emerald T NOW!!!!
Rod Gass and Farce for prez!!!
Whether it’s food, water, jobs, ability to make some lunch money with side projects, the people in charge are not factoring your happiness, nor your future well being, into their long term strategies.
It’s incredibly difficult to agree amongst the serf class, even those who think they are a part of the managing class, .
They are merely, useful idiots to this rising neo feudal landscape, manicured in front of our very eyes.
So when I hear intelligence and perspective from many in this peanut gallery, who are genuinely concerned about collateral damage when a huge percentage of this economy is being put on life support, it truly is a simple history lesson of how this smoke and mirrors program has been run by the political arm of the corporate government control grid.
They have the a new breed of gestapo that will literally track every move you make, and eventually micromanage and dictate every aspect of y/our lIves in the name of the environment and to make the world a better place.
When we finally wake up and realize the end of a way of life is being planned on a global scale, you might take a moment to appreciate how distracting all those pesky little moments of clarity are here to shake you out of your narrowly defined version of success in y/our little pond.
What good does it do to climb up the ladder of success in the rat race,
…if at the end of the day, you/me/we are all just RATS?
I like your style, Dude.
Garcia, MI Estrangero!
Billy Corgan, mentioned the rat analogy. Credit given!
You mean the same Guy who compared Social justice warriors t o the KKK members? Yeah.Fuck that guy.. His music fucking sucks balls too. Winny little wanna be. Depressing ass world a vampire shit..🙄 .. Yeah people are not rats dude..It’s a fucking rat race… [edit]
I don’t listen to his music, but, small fry, there are always extremes on both sides…so you can say fuck that guy, and agree it’s a rat race….take what works.
I just wanted to point out what this game does to people who are moving backwards in life, and working their asses off.
It’s a rigged game….
, and he’s definitely a whiney little bitch….
Rich, …. check
whiney…check
. Lil bitch. …chekhov
Yeah, I probably shouldn’t have replied to you the other night. I was pretty tired, and kinda had a lot of Brain fog mumbling mush. I guess the system really wants people to feel sub human so they can sell you an Identy and false securities. So, I don’t think it’s a good idea to promote the Idea, that we are less than Human. Once you start bolstering pride and hope in people, the proverbial undercurrent of “they” don’t like that.. There is a larger picture than my little pond, but I refuse to go back to the Plantation of America without a fight. This is my home and I intend to fight for it.. From invadors, foreign or domestic.. Peacefully…. There is a bigger picture here for sure, I get it.. what makes us so special right?. Coffee farmers in Guatemala are loosing thier small farms by the droves right now, and being driven to out boarders. If Starfucks would just pay a couple dollars more a pound for thier coffee they could stay in thier homes.. Does anyone care? Only when they end up at our boarders… And I care.. People care, but I think a lot of people are not able to do much..
It seems like there it’s coming down to two levels of gestopo in America to me. I tend to lean left.. but they are testing my patience. Oh well, nobody can rope my brain into a sterotipical Identity, just has never been me.. We do need to make the environment a better place… is the problem, but how to do that without being an Enviro Nazi? Difficult picture, the other side often has not been very easy to work with either…. But yeah, neither side wants to let anyone get to farahead, someone has to be their to serve them thier coffee in the morning right? Billy Coragan Still sucks a big one… fuck that guy..
“Coffee farmers in Guatemala are loosing their small farms by the droves right now, and being driven to out boarders.”
~refugees. Heart-wrenching.
Farmers in other lands, drought stricken on schedule, are committing suicide. Their life as they know it, is no more.
Let’s keep it simple and local. Love you, brother, fighting the good fight…vote with your wallet
TY SID. Luv u both too! You two are a fing Hoot with your subliminal messages of descent. I don’t always agree.. but definitely some good stuff there too.. It is heart wrenching what farmers have to go thru sometimes! Vote w/ wallet.. and vote wid Howz u fill ur wallet too! LocL simplicity. Like..
An old fisherman smuggler cat who ran with numerous interest’s in the 70s and 80s, once remarked how many friends he lost in that era. He said something to the effect,….losing anything that’s important to you/me/we. ..is simply a dress rehearsal for the ultimate letting go of this mortal coil…
That being said, I tip my hat to all those warriors in the gardens…..
much better than being a gardener in a war.
Well, TY SID. For me personally the Cannabis has never really been an ends to a mean within itself, but a means to an end. I want to homestead really, and keep my little earthship a float. Personally, I can probably do that w/ or w/o Cannabis, but Cannabis makes it flow better. And I like to grow cannabis. And it’s not just my little farm, we have a lot of smaller farmers in my neighborhood, and I like my neighbors, they have been really good neighbors. Some don’t grow at all, but some of the best people… TY for your encouragement..
I don’t give a F.. that They don’t give an F.. They might throw me in the cotton Jin, but I have my pride to up hold, I am not a rat.. I am a human being and so are you, so are all people.. To me the fines and abatements are insanity and completely unexcetable.. what’s next? Financially terrorize people with exssive fines because thier fence is blue, they had the wrong type of landscaping, they were a threat to corporate profits? Beg permission for a glass of water. Screw that noise..
“Hello, …..This is the suicide hotline…
Please Hold”
GTFO
Wow. That comment was pretty wean spirited and uncalled for yo… WTF?
Just merely representative of the shituation, not directed at anyone.
Besides SID.
.All I want is a Pepsi and she wouldn’t give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
And she wouldn’t give it to me, just a Pepsi…
Institution
Lol
while you cry the world is passing you buy. invest in a legal dispensary if you want to play big by games. the easy game is ovaah.
It doesn’t matter the easy is over or not.. to me.. but quite financially terrorizing my little garden.. if its ova why not just let people be? What the F is wrong with you people anyway?
I will say though.. Everybody wanna grow de corn.. nobody wanna sell de corn.. lol.. Gville needs more dispensaries fo sure though.
I hope Gville invests in some processing services too, I think it could be a good way to maybe create some jobs and keep the industry there alive in some aspects. Food products, chocolates, oils, ect ect.. Possible.. Collective Trimming services in town possibly.. stuff like that might actually keep Gville alive. We shall see. Nobody can really do much if they are overregulated and taxed to extinction though.. there in lies a big part of the issue..
U crazy daizy..
Elections are coming it’s almost time to show em who they work for!!!!!! Sure hoping someone human steps up to run against racist rex!!!! Watched this interview with Bernie on u toob yesterday what’s going on here is exactly what he’s wanting to go up against. He’s running as a Dem but he’s really an independent I think its time to ask ourselves has the 2 party system really worked for the people?? Maybe ya all should watch it for yourselves it’s only 10 minutes long. Good luck and may we be able to save ourselves from the evil that’s plagued us .
“The County”, after a year end of the fiscal year, f i n a l l y have an Annual Financial Report for 2017-2018. I have the last ten year’s of Annual Reports – always just asked and they gave them to me. No More. “The County” now wants 10 cents per page! Criminal parasites.
Yeah, yeah, it’s on line. But, that’s not my point.
Grow your 6 and be done with it everyone. 2020 is coming.
Meanwhile the National Guard is in Hayfork sweeping the entire town. 60 nat’l guardsmen and 4 gunships. Using the army against cartel grows on public land my ass! The fact that anyone can be ok with the Governor using the military on its own citizens to enforce anything at all is absurd. Hey Kym why is there no report on this? Just like there is no report of anything happening in Weaverville, yet that is where they are stationed. Is this newsworthy or are you so complicit with legalization and your legal garden that you aren’t going to publish anything about abatements or what the Guard is doing?
I have been trying to get any information other than that gathered from rude commenters on the internet while also dealing with trying to gather info on a fatal fire near Hoopa. Meanwhile, I have company and a family issue. Thank you so much for your concern.
Do some work 1911.
Go get some footage, ask some questions, email kym.
Simple shit.
I saw lots of helicopters over the areas near hayfork today. One was circling NW outside of town for hour and half.
I dont know who is flying, or why.
Help us out 1911
Where in Weav is the Guard stationed?
Here they are, right in the middle of town. I’m not a journalist Brian, not my job. Since you live so close and obviously have nothing to do other than sit behind your computer and be a snide A**hole, why don’t you go and verify it? People have much bigger things to deal with today.
There is no proof this is the National Guard–no insignia, no number, nothing other than a green military looking helicopter.
Your the one that seems to know so much about the Guard in Trinity.
Back it up, or wait to find out.
Either you know, or you dont.
Your sending mixed messages with your claiming of the Guard in Hayfork, but blaming media for playing hush hush – but you arent willing to lift a finger, unless it’s your depo tarp.
Ha depo tarp, that’s a good one, not a hippie bud, but go assume more. There was an armored personnel carrier on the other side of that bush with people in camo standing around. The message was pretty straight forward, the guard is in Hayfork and media seems not to be reporting it. Although there has been an abundance of sightings over the past few weeks. I know things need to be verified but I’ve seen em, other people have seen them. This isn’t their first debut and there is proof. [edit]
Ok, no depo. Sorry. I thought it was funny, but I shouldn’t laugh at your expense.
Whatever has got you so busy just try to snap a good few photos of what your claiming.
You have a lot of rights regarding asking questions and filming, or snapping pics.
But if you dont or can’t, just realize, if everyone says that – then Kym has nothing to report.
“then Kym has nothing to report.”

“Convoy Near Hayfork” Is this today ??????
Looks like the authorities are getting busy af these days.
16 rigs….they had to be working with the chopper.
It seemed the chopper was waiting, circling for an hour. Then a sudden altitude drop into what I assumed was the beginning of someone’s bad day for the next thirty minutes.
He was working in the air from 9-11 am I would say. Definitely approximating as I wasn’t watching the clock.
I wonder what fertilizers they be using?
Dfw and Feds in Hayfork, haven’t seen any national guard though.
I do hope Kym can get the story, inquiring minds want to know!
Seems like the guards activities are being purposely kept hush hush by media outlets. No one wants to believe that dear Governor Newsome would actually fit the bill of a fascist dictator who uses the military to squash out competition for his corporate friends that are in the weed biz. Fascist corporate cronyism at its best. When the government deploys its military on its own people its time for a new government.
I’ve been on the phone calling every number for the National Guard Public Info I can find, called DFW several times, two dif numbers for TCSO, and spoke to the Shasta Trinity folks several times, too. Now, this may surprise a lot of folks, but, a photo of a helicopter is not proof that the National Guard is doing anything. First…there is no evidence this is the National Guard. Show me an insignia. Second, they could be doing training operations (unlikely in my opinion but I have to have some sort of evidence before I write they are there.) I’ve spent hours tracking down people who have first hand knowledge (luckily, some folks have compassion and send me stuff.) But all this takes time. It’s not an attempt to hide anything but rather an effort to be factual.
Thank you Kym. Really appreciate all your hard work to keep us all informed… your a bad ass!
What a shit show this whole fucking mess has become! I don’t know who is more moronic, the pot heads, or the rednecks?
Except, maybe, just maybe, the redneck potgrowers! BOOOOYAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
