[UPDATE 12:09 p.m.] Large Convoy in SoHum
We have received multiple reports of a law enforcement convoy on Maple Hills Road which is near Miranda at the bottom of the Salmon Creek watershed.
The first reports about 6:50 said there were about 10 vehicles but later reports said there were 20-22 vehicles. So far, no reports of a chipper. But there is reportedly a skid steer. These can be used to quickly remove marijuana plants from the ground.
UPDATE 12:09 p.m.: The convoy is in Hideaway Hills.

Goooood morning SoHum!
🕯🌳👍🏽🚲🚲🚲
Meanwhile, our newest enemy combatant member is imploding. They assumed they would take a loss but now the reality is those losses are near a billion dollars. KPMG dropped your ass, lol which should mean small investors will hopefully stay away and they will be forced to use that corporate backed money which will signal their doom. Next……..lol.
CannTrust (CTST) (TRST), a major cannabis player, suffered due to regulation violations. The company didn’t comply with Health Canada regulations. CannTrust grew marijuana in unlicensed rooms. As a result, Health Canada seized five metric tons of the company’s cannabis. KPMG also withdrew its audit report for CannTrust.
The company’s CEO was fired after Health Canada’s accusation of non-compliant growth activities. As a result, the stock price took a hit in July and August. The stock has fallen 25.9% in August and 64% YTD (year-to-date).
HEXO (HEXO) also faced pressure after the possible scandal news spread. The stock has lost 5.6% in August and 23% YTD.

Thanks. I’m retiring in a couple of years and this makes me feel better (just kidding).
~ah, oh, oopsie. Nothing personal.
Legallettuce: you think corporate money means canntrust is doomed and therefore so is corporate weed and all that goes along with it? Nah, more like a pothole on a road full of them that will eventually all get filled in (it will take years, a few lives, and more than just a couple of weed corporate scandals to end the locomotive that has left the station from gaining steam). Cantrust is one of many companies in this field, and will likely be rebranded just as Philip Morris ultimately became Altria after the smoking scandals.
The stock won’t be worth crap but someone will buy it on the cheap and leverage it, therefore re-birthing it like a phoenix and your temporary glee will once again return to gloom and doom.
You mean the corporate caboose that is stuck in the station with no locomotive would be a more accurate description. We welcome our new enemy combatants you stand where many have before in their failed attempts. Our industry is not based off of fear and speculation like corporate weed. Our industry is based off of supply and demand. We have the supply we have the demand. We will fill those potholes ourselves with our skunky dank moist sticky buds undercutting the corporate pot hole fillers at every main street in every city and in every state of this great union. Bring it I say we will see who holds control of the mighty baggie!!
Update 4:30 PM : Convoy now in Panther Gap area.
wonder if the cops took the old wire suspension bridge or if they went right and drove through the river to get up into hideaway
Man.. are they even looking into licensed growers?? i just got some suposedly leaked from a licensed HUMBOLT farm..
Investigat them and they employees. Blackmarket is doin well. Ohh lol
Not surprising. Some fairly large doob tubes can be seen close to where they were spotted
Place has been blown up for years! One of the largest grow scenes in so hum. Google earth baby. The same ones that would produce so much orange light at night that cal-fire stopped going because people would report the woods were on fire.
Well they are on pace at around 3 to 5 sites a week. So over the next 6 weeks that is about 18 to 25 hits. It seems they are heavily focused on DEP scenes. So any of you who applied and did not follow through with the permit process are probably at the top of the list. If you are in this category you should let your neighbors know because it is a decent thing to do since you probably jeopardized their scene as well. Bonus though your neighbor will appreciate the knowledge and it will make it better for your future growing endeavours………This has been a public service announcement.
Possibly true. Always good to share info with your good neighbors. Always good to know your neighbors! It makes a big difference as to what agencies make up this convoy. The sheriff’s dept. just hits a single scene and runs. Where CDFW and Water Board and Cannabis Control are involved the raids have been more centered on a huge scene but then they uproot everybody else nearby with any more than 6 plants (old CAMP style). Not sure how much input or direction is controlled by local county sheriff’s dept but the raids in Mendocino (Spy Rock, Dos Rios, Woodman) were sustained over a few days and involved doors getting kicked in for 10 to 20 plants (treasure hunts)….Don’t forget what John Ford said numerous times about abatement- whenever somebody gets a permit he draws concentric circles around that scene and examines all properties within the closest circles. Up to now the sheriff has shown zero interest in grabbing up scenes that are “in the process” or fake-permitted. The state agencies’ presence may change that! And of course- this is all only a preview of next year’s expanded enforcement activities against all unpermitted mom n pops. Paid for by permit fees and dispensary taxes…
I’m sure the piece of shit sloppy “permitted” grow near me is attracting a look see in an area of people just trying to make it on some yard plants. When in the hell does the county rein these bad actors in?? This is the second year and no site inspection yet because the sloppy shit show is still full tilt.
Marijuana prohibition raids which included throwing people in prison for growing ,seizing their assets and huge legal fees did not deter people ! So after 60 years of Enforcement . .Is this the future of our county. A continuation of a failed policy?
It’s for the children. Literally. The odds are, at least 1 will make it out alive, and that’s all they want is just that one.
Tally up all the ways they steal your property, rights, and… children. Many are overlapped.

Get out of the bushes and look at the bigger picture.
Clarity.
Same old shinola,
60 years of prohibition.
Policy is not law.
Very good points.
Can you please elaborate more on the doors kicked in for 10-20 plants…., cause I have yet to hear that one from anyone who was caught up in the Mendocino raids within those places you listed
Dos Rios Rd about 5 miles out from Laytonville. Most places had warrants but not every one. They were entered anyways and ransacked for I guess any cash stashes? “Kicking in doors” was an expression meaning “entered without search warrants”. It’s the old tactics refreshed with state money coming from permit funds and dispensary taxes.
Farmageddon 2019
If your a mom and pops,
Not a “green rush mega grower”.
And you took a fall during Farmageddon 2019.
We love you, and we have your back!!!
These heart felt sentiments are for you!
Something else I’d like to say,
To give our peoples hope!
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
Mamma grew the sensi,
daddy grew the stock.
Grandma sat on her front porch,
And grandpa was our rock.
Uncle Junebug falling timber.
Cousin Billy at the mill.
Here in Humboldt county,
Buddy that’s the deal!
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
My daddy’s second cousin,
was the sherriff for a time.
Our neighbor from jamaica,
married his x wife.
And when that boy had lost his job,
We wouldn’t let him in.
Once you’ve belonged to babylon,
you’re a stranger to your kin.
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
In memory of good ol boys and gals,
that helped us along the way.
We’ve sunk our roots deep in the earth,
Right here is where we’ll stay!
And when they come to root us out,
they’d better shoot us dead!
Better death than lack of liberty,
bewilderment and dread!
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
And somewhere round Thanksgiving,
we’ll all sit down and pray
The harvests have been bountiful,
No ones gone away.
And we wont apologise,
for how we live our lives.
We’ve kept Humboldt prosperous.
The truth cant be denied!
Were not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
So you better just get used to us,
our kind wont go away.
We’ll move our culture under ground.
Our cultures here to stay!
Would serve you well to keep the peace,
And leave our folks alone.
Stop regulating liberty.
And dont cut down our dope!
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
We’ve been out growing government
for over 50 years
How they think they’ll stop us now?
If they couldn’t stop us then?
3 billion for the government,
Free markets making 10.
Good fortune bless the outlaws
Keep’em all safe from the man.
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
Got it? !!!
-The garden variety outlaw-
And associates…
That was beautiful.
Nice!
Those of you who’ve bet the farm
On working with the law.
They’ll squeeze you and they’ll tax you,
Till your livelyhood is gone.
One day you wont remember,
Just who the hell you are…
I bet we’ll see you on the square,
Spare changing at the bars.
We’re not packing up our wares,
And goin somewheres else,
to grow our dope!
NONRENEWAL… RENEGADE GARDENS.. RISE UP..
Things you can do to prepare for
Farmageddon 2020…
Get your 6 Male plants ready for every garden abated this year.
Hell let’s get 6 huge males on every property in the emerald triangle.
Every single property.
A recessive hemaphrodidic gene pool prefered.
Raise em huge.
Hope for a real windy year next year.
That is so tempting.
You’re a poet and didn’t even know it.
But your feet sure do show it. Longfellow
I must have been eight.
Since you’re apparently posting these lyrics into every thread, I should point out you skipped a couple auto collision articles this morning.
I won’t comment on the poetry, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Like the accidental tourist, we pioneers , in living life as best we could, created a
subculture that served us all well. A thing of beauty actually.
We have always been under attack, but now the hounds of hell have been unleashed.
Mom & Pop have been marginalized. Community is fragmented. Illegal mega grows. Corrupt County & State
hogs feeding at the public trough. Shilling for the Corporations that are next in line. But let me stop
before I ruin our day.
I often think of Soilent Green, but I am now thinking of Red Dawn,
Go Wolverines.
Good stuff Indignant 1 and Old Grower.
Our poets, songwriters, and basic lyricists have a calling to put feelings into words over this magnificent trick. We see and feel your disdain. I really admire those who bother to create some artful method of self expression.
Please continue.
Yes! Yes!
WOLVERINES!
🕯🌳Rick Springfield Gardened Party.
Got an abatement last year on one parcel. Got my legal spot shut down beginning of this year. Last year I put out over 20g’s cash money in dental and medical bills. This year I’m applying for medical and feeding the kids hotdogs and beans and we are 4 months behind on interest payments for our small homestead. Just wanted to thank humboldt county which I’ve been a part of since 1985, for fucking my life up. 👍
Super sad to hear! These raids and regs are crazy! And they have real impacts thru the community! Blessings your families way!
Sorry for your pain. Happened to many folks, pushed out by large money from other places… Goodbye ma and Pa homestead farmers trying to just keep afloat. Sad to see it go down. Real sad.
~don’t you think it weird for mere man to declare Mother Nature as either Legal or Illegal?
When we identify with words, we’re accepting cohabitation. Repeating the falsehood doesn’t add to the solution.
No update on the 7 raids in one day On the same hill in burnt ranch Kym?
I’m curious too. Hope there wasn’t any mistakes up there…if so a press release may not be forth coming.
Actually the original of that tune was done by Rick NELSON & was called GARDEN Party!!! Just FYI!!! ;-]]
This is original
Written Saturday
Without any influence from any other tune.
Fine by me!!! ;-]]
I went to a garden party
to reminiscence with my old friends..
🕯🌳Thank you for the correction. 👍🏽🎼
Cannabis is legal.
Weed and herb are not.
Hemp is lawful
Cannabis is lawful
Marihunie is lawful
Weed is lawful
Seed is lawful
~all of the above are lawful until death-by-Glyphosate permeates nature
cannabis is not legal.its taxed,regulated,controlled,manipulated and soon to be outlawed by anyone but goverment controlled facilitys to sell back to you. legal? ill let you decide….
I’ve decided.
Definition of Legal – its taxed,regulated,controlled,manipulated and soon to be outlawed by anyone but goverment controlled facilitys to sell back to you.
Down with Legal!
Funny stuff. Thanks.
There’s a not so funny truth to what HumCo has defined.
Nationwide the pursuit of “legalization” is being used as propaganda for reestablishing prohibition. States and politicians are recklessly throwing the term “legalization” around to be a good thing. They count on the normal person to not study nor care that “legal” is wrong for cannabis.
California is proving the bait and switch of balloted “legal” to be a boondoggle. It’s a simple proof that watch out what you vote for, means understand first and then vote second.
In reality, “legalization” has/is teaching us that “legal” supports prohibition. There’s nobody winning this latest battle over our usage of cannabis, it’s still the 5 thousand years war of control.
Amen.
🕯🌳There kind of GMO weed is legal, not Humboldt gold.
No update on the 7 raids in one day On the same hill in burnt ranch Kym?
I would love to. Is this from August 29? Contact me at [email protected] for quicker response.
I hear there may have been an error up there. Perhaps they won’t want to talk about this one. They messed up in wool mounting week before. Uh oh.
“Error” and “Messed up” = @System@ Failure
Don’t Spit in the Wind
Sometimes you might feel like no one’s there for you, but you know who’s always there for you?
Laundry.
Laundry will always be there for you.
Dishes. Dirty dishes will always be there for you also.
Good Job LEO! Clean up the county!
It ‘‘twas wonderful in the 80s and 90s but now , grow the shit down south and quit leveling the ridges, draining creeks , and being shitheads in general
~this is one of those shoe box, moon pie, band aid moments.
Yes. All the above back and forth is very insightful, but WHERE DID THE CONVOY GO??!!???
Raptured up?
Law enforcement is in Hideaway Hills.
I would imagine that they are busting the 80 acre parcel above Hideaway Hills. Even though it is owned by the same person who owns Hideaway Hills, that parcel is not part of Hideaway Hills.
On the 80 acres, there are 5 100′ plus green houses.
I was surprised earlier this year that they were still growing up there, I knew it was going end badly.
I am just glad that the mortgage is nearly paid off, I don’t want the property back.
“Law” enforcement”, huh.
Really? Are you sure T.H.E.Y. are peddling “Law”? Perhaps, “Legal” Enforcement would be less of an echo.
Kym, sometimes I have trouble following along these articles when I read place names that are not census-designated places .. for example, where is Hideaway Hills? I’m sure the locals all know what you mean, but it’s not an the map..
It’s up Salmon Creek area, up Thomas Road. It’s hard to get specific. But roughly in the 700 block.
so funny to think of a block number up the hill- Remember we used to say things like between Buddha’ s and Bigfoot’ s –
I know….
Hideaway Hills is off Thomas road on Pine Drive. Around the 1000 block of Thomas Road. 6 Miles West of Miranda.
🕯🌳See how easy they get information from you people with just a cute little baby face.🤯
Thanks
Humboldt County California
Foggy Mountain Majesty
Peaceful land of plenty
From the redwoods to the sea.
Hunting, fishing, farming,
On a crab boat,
smoking weed…
Here in Humboldt County California
We have everything I need!
Ode to Humboldt County
The only place I want to be
Blessed home of Liberty
Last Bastien of the free.
Our Counties pristine beauty
From the redwood to the sea
Ode to Humboldt County

Youre lyrics are almoat as cheesy and bad as darrly cherneys lyrics
Darryl Cherney has written scores of songs about the actions he and his friends have taken defending the environment, fighting for civil rights, and protesting (from the website).
Come up and look at his junk yard
~i too have a neighbor close-by with junk from one end to the other. I’ve often wondered how they get inside. I determined it is down the chimney.
Doesnt make em good songs. It turn kmud off when he comes on.
That was uncalled for.
I’m trying not to go on angry rants.
This is a more pleasant, positive way for me to express myself.
I’ll work on it.
I liked it
Soon the only place that people will have a good wage is either working for social services or for the law enforcement, or the jails, or the courts, or the lawyers. Anybody else who wants to come up and try to put a little hard work and effort into it is lead down a slippery slope and has the rug pulled out from underneath them constantly. The “gooberment” dangles the carrot of the supposed great cannabis programs that are going to develop from their fine, insightful, oversight. Yet, all that we see is people constantly getting busted, the “goobers” changing the general schematics of which everything was built upon at every turn. Instead of spending all the money on the grows, start dumping it into education for your kids at least the future will have something that way. Once the cartridge market implodes it’s going to be a really huge situation of unknown consequences. We have a whole generation of cannabis users that have used nothing but dabs, vape pens, they have no idea what a natural bud product is. Here goes some more ever-evolving never resolving scenarios woo hoo!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Tuesday, September 23rd, 2019’s take, and wrap-up of reality.
~thank you Mendocino Mamma.
De nada!
Correction – September 3rd.
Good drugs rrrrr badddddddd mmmkayyyyyyy. 20 hoop houses definitely not personal. Down with all these greedy illegal grading, water polluting land devasters.
I counted 22
Pen tops are already on their way out. That was sooooo two years ago…..
Raids on illegal marijuana farms in Northen California? Who would have thought?
The county is getting to be full of duchebags and phony a-holes!
Well look at that! You are catching on. No time like the present! lol.
I wish the county would have a talk with my “legal” neighbors. If not, next year, my six plants will be males on the property line.
I feel for you. I wish the county would get off its ass and actually oversee the “permitted” grows. They don’t.
I’m actually counting the years that it takes the county to physically show up st a few legal grows that submitted site plans, paid a fee and then went rogue. One is in its third year. Soil deliveries dumped right on the ground. Grading, tree cutting. Messy, trashy site. In other words they paid a fee to be legal assholes.
Tick tick tick tick
You can’t expect them to get them all with limited resources.
They are going for the mega polluters with no permits. They will eventually back track and upon re-inspection of legal permitted grows that have gone dirty they will be fined or cut. It’s just a matter of time.
” limited resources.”
SAY WHAT?
Very loud water pump can be heard at my house. Lights on in greenhouses with no cover. Crashing vehicles because they drink to help the cocaine jitters. Beer bottles on road. Pumping water from creek. Driving in and out at all hours. 100% black market sales. This is the last year I’m putting up with it. I will take action next year to include male cannabis plants and weekly calls to the county.
I’l bet a dollar this grow of which you speak isn’t actually legal.
Have you looked them up on the state license database?
I have not done any research. I do k ow they are/have been in the permitting process. My gut is they have not received final permit and are doing business as usual. Either way they suck and either way, I might start trying to figure out how to get rid of them. I bet I couldn’t sell my property because of them.
I think more and more people will actually carry out this type of revenge for having to put up with assholes. Legal assholes. People can only take so much bullshit.
Vote out all incumbents!!!! This political sherade has shown us what the future of California is. Let’s get us some new REPRESENTATION come November. Let’s not stand for this theft and extortion our day is election day/the peoples day .
What is your idea of future representation? What areas do you see as being ignored? The focus seems to be on “Give up your home to absolve my guilt”.
The government operates at the pleasure of the people, for services and contracts that are better served under the unity of weights and measures, roadways and other conveyances where uniformity is necessary for dealing in commerce. It is for these reasons that government is not to delve into the private sector and compete against private business as they have an uneven balance with the fear of police force used to tax and condemn.
How can we expect “someone” to step up to the proverbial plate if We, the People don’t know what’s on the menu?
~through the mechanism of this Beast @System@, we’re being pruned. Those who get through the pruning process are the ones who best understand the concept of independence.
A lot of these newbies haven’t been here long enough to even know about gorilla growing on treacherous terrain in the deep forest. Lot of pics from these “flat land” scenes that crack me up. If u want to pull it off put on your boots and hike your ass off!!
That’s an understatement. Driving up to your grow , dumping supplies and telling your workers what to do is a new phenomenon. Hiking is done in Costa Rica while on vacation.
Guerilla not gorilla 🦍
The new ones just moving here have not thought this thru. They wanted permits and licenses ect. Well you have it. Now the guy next door is still growing weed and all the money is going to stay in San Francisco now where the owners of those permits live. You have sold our whole economy to the city folk and didn’t get shit in return. So now where does the money come from. Have any of you idiots talked to local business owners you have killed them. Honsal lies to all of you and you beloved his smiling ass. Fortunately I saw this coming and moved to trinity a few years ago. Now that the permit fee money is gone even the county is feeling it. I know many of the remaining growers will not purchase a dam thing locally I know a guy in willow creek who is now shopping in weaverville. I would not be so quick to run off the last few trying to keep it together
Jo, I love Trinity !! less people and more friendly folks. The grocery store is pleasant folks in Weaverville. Trinity is a whole different feel of ( ahhh ) a fresh breath. I will take the bad roads over rude ass people any day. Wonderful from Trinity to Ruth lake. Peeps stay in their own biz and fences make that happen. Trinity is a wonderful world.
And why does a black market still thrive. The end user in a dispensary is paying 60 an eighth when the whole ounce costs 50 in the black market. Greed and you idiots let those profiteers run the county.
~i hang my head in shame. I do.
There was a huge raid team leaving Covelo on Thursday afternoon Sept. 5. I counted more than 20 Sheriffs and CDFW vehicles and the MCSO Armored Personnel Carrier.
Does anyone know details?
