‘Please Help Us’: Siskiyou County Sheriff Asks Elon Musk for Aid Combating Illegal Cannabis

Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office just used their Twitter account to throw a Hail Mary, asking eccentric billionaire Elon Musk for his help in their fight to eradicate illegal cannabis grows.

This comes after multiple tweets in the last week and a half asking for California State Governor Gavin Newsom’s help. It is unclear whether the State of California ever responded to those tweets.

California’s rural north has long been an agricultural center for California cannabis, both pre and post-legalization. But, in an era of permits and oversight, some are using Northern California’s vast vistas and undermanned enforcement infrastructure to cultivate marijuana, dodge regulation, and commit water theft, environmental crimes, and human trafficking.

According to Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue, 37-years-old and the youngest sheriff in California, eradicating illegal cannabis in Siskiyou County is complicated by the fact the overwhelming majority of the grows are located within an approximately twenty square mile subdivision known as the Mount Shasta Vistas populated almost exclusively by residents of Hmong and Chinese descent.

The residents of the Mount Shasta Vista community, mostly Hmong, have pushed back on enforcement attempts and claimed law enforcement is racist towards their community and disproportionately targeting them.

Sheriff LaRue told us claims of racism and discrimination have been weaponized to undermine enforcement and conceal the organized crime happening in plain sight.

Last June, the Lava Fire raged on the slopes of Mount Shasta, California’s 2nd 5th tallest mountain. The fire forced the evacuation of the Mount Shasta Division subdivision. A 35-year-old Hmong man named Soobleej Kaub Hawj was driving his pickup followed by his wife and children. When the caravan hit a four-way intersection where deputies were stationed, Hawj ignored or failed to comprehend officers’ commands, reportedly brandished a handgun, and, according to Sheriff LaRue, fired on deputies one time. Some reports have deputies firing as many as 60 shots at Hawj killing the man. Hawj’s death led to protests and criticism born of tension in the community over water and race.

The family of Hawj who witnessed the shooting has not spoken out nor has Sheriff LaRue released body cam footage which was taken immediately after the incident.

Sheriff LaRue argues his job is to maintain public safety and the race of a suspect does not dictate his agency’s response or approach. He said the residents of the Mount Shasta Vista subdivision have learned they can claim racism and use this to disrupt law enforcement’s efforts.

The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office has been using its social media to share with the world the Sisyphean task of eradicating illegal cannabis within their borders. They have published videos, narrated by Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue depicting their efforts.

He told us in May 2021 he took to social media to share the conditions of the Mount Shasta Vista subdivision after finding that state and local officials ignored his requests for support. Sheriff LaRue believes these officials are leery of becoming involved because of racialized rhetoric used by critics and the media. At that time, he posted videos of the environmental crimes and living conditions his agency has found the norm in the subdivision. He then tagged President Joe Biden, Governor Gavin Newsom, activist Erin Brokovich, and California’s Office of Emergency Services. Despite these efforts, Sheriff LaRue told us his tweets fell on deaf ears.

As eradication efforts picked up this last month, Sheriff LaRue once again took to Twitter hoping to share the deplorable conditions his deputies were found within the Mount Shasta Vista subdivisions, starting with once again appealing to Governor Newsom.

Yesterday, Sheriff LaRue tagged none other than Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire that owns Tesla and is currently wavering on whether or not he will buy Twitter and mold it into his vision of a free speech haven. Sheriff LaRue told us he tweeted at Musk hoping to “keep the conversation going.”

After appealing for outside assistance time and time again, Sheriff LaRue told us the tweet was an attempt to get somebody to respond to his needs. “Elon’s smart and has a lot of money. Maybe he can help us.”

In these videos, viewers are shown cannabis operations with numerous 4,000-gallon doughboy swimming pools being refilled by water trucks multiple times per day. Pipes run directly from the pools into nearby hoop houses. Sheriff LaRue described dead and abused animals on these farms as “common.” He characterized the sheer saturation of these grows as rising to a level far beyond what his agency could keep under control.

Outhouse on a cannabis grow site.

This year, Sheriff LaRue has framed his fight against illegal cannabis as a form of environmental justice protecting the county’s land and water. As expected in a region in the midst of a historic drought, any form of agriculture exacerbates water shortages.

In 2020, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors submitted concerns to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) arguing that these illegal grows were putting a strain on the Shasta River watershed.

Upon investigation, the SWRCB determined that “groundwater use for cannabis cultivation in the basin is significantly less than the volume of groundwater used for other irrigation purposes.” Despite the Board of Supervisors’ claims that illegal cannabis grows were causing the decline in the county’s aquifer, the SWRCB found the drought coupled with flood irrigation, stock water, and forage crops were the biggest impact to groundwater levels.  

High Country News’s article “Why is this California sheriff suddenly interested in ‘environmental crimes?” explores Sheriff LaRue’s approach to and reasons for eradicating illegal cannabis. One point they make is that the Siskiyou Board of Supervisors recently increased the Sheriff’s Department’s financial allotment. “The budget line for marijuana suppression forfeiture — money set aside for confiscation — nearly doubled, from just over $61,000 in the fiscal year 2020-2021 to nearly $119,000 for 2022. It was the largest increase in a decade. Meanwhile, the county planning department, which oversees water, building, and general environmental regulations, struggled to retain its small team of code enforcement officers.”

There is evidence that the State of California afforded some support to Siskiyou’s eradication efforts last year. CAMP assisted law enforcement in Siskiyou County that year working 52 grow sites and eradicating 59,075 plants.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said, “From dumping toxic chemicals in our waterways to cheating the state out of millions of tax dollars, illicit marijuana grows have far-reaching impacts and unintended consequences.”

Meanwhile, Sheriff LaRue waits to see if he will hear from Elon. He told us a person he believes is an executive who works in close proximity to Musk had reached out to him.La Rue was waiting to see if that connection bears out.

There’s an irony in Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office asking for Elon Musk’s support in his crackdown on illegal cannabis. He is a public cannabis user and infamous for sharing a blunt with Joe Rogan.

Musk probably funds Pot Farms, and is an obvious Marijuana Junkie…

I don’t think he is gonna help the Siskiyou County Sheriff, and, the Hmong are Hmaking quite a mess…

Vietnam was the mistake we are still paying for, American involvement there was an incredible waste of resources, but, bringing in populations of Viernamese and Hmong/Laotians certainly did increase crime and the presence of Medical Students of Asian descent…

This didn’t become weed-farming on the scale it currently exists, but it’s just not possible that it’s any more profitable on the slopes of Mt Shasta, than it is in Mendo/Humboldt/Lake/Trinity or anywhere else…

Legallettuce will again tell us that he gets $1200lb for his amazing products, but I suspect the farmers on Mt Shasta are cursing the low prices, and thinking about where they buried the Krugerrands, so that they can start growing Poppy again.

Meanwhile, the Sheriff of Siskiyou should start applying for Superfund cleanup, declare Martial Law, and bring in the National Guard. Elon, he’s a dope smoker like everyone else in Northern CA…

Many of the original immigrants were collaborators and informants, but, lots of them were criminals and wealthy, and it’s hard to believe that there hasn’t been a payoff scandal, or action against the Sheriff/Deputies who allowed this mess to be built.

There’s lots of private property owners raising Alfalfa and Cattle, and somebody elected this Sheriff… These are not poor ranchers and I am sure that the Hmong Culture basically enslaves women and children to do labor associated with growing weed…

It’s a lot more than just illegal pot growing, and everyone knows it…

Oooh but it’s not racism! Something tells me it’s not that easy to get compliant and permitted in Siskiyou. The Sheriff’s shooting during the Lava Fire evacuation is a big red flag that the Sheriffs are taking the wrong approach. For one, Sheriffs all over need to learn some basic fire fighting concepts if they’re gonna continue to get involved in evacuations. Firefighter’s priorities during an evacuation, or anything else? Protect LIFE, then property, and the environment. Why would you shoot someone, for whom it’s your responsibility to evacuate safely? The Sheriff’s were using the Lava fire to justify being jerks, or mistook their mission to be a SWAT operation. I like that the Water Boards set them straight: the Hmoung weed grow’s water use don’t compare to all the high dessert hay fields up there!

Fire evacuation. The Sheriff’s had a checkpoint? Why not let the guy go get hurt then? “Sir,Sir we don’t want you to go back there…you could get hurt. We’ll shoot you if you try…” Racism. Would the Sheriffs shoot a confused old white lady running around in a panic, evacuating like an idiot? Aren’t we supposed to have guns to the thwart Government tyranny? What if the driver was feeling tyrannized by the Sheriff. The Sheriffs we’re there to evacuate people. They had the rest of the year to do law enforcement.

Read on…”for whom it’s your responsibility to evacuate safely” that’s my point. Why bother evacuating someone you want to shoot? Did he actually shoot? Let’s see the body cam footage. You’ve never seen a rifle on a rack in a pick up? Could that be construed as brandishing? Are the Hmoung neighborhoods lawless free for all’s? Maybe he had his gun out because of all the lawlessness.

So the Sheriff was concerned about water…the waterboard pointed out hay irrigation takes more water. Did the Sheriff pivot to harassing hay farmers? If he went out to a hay farm and tried to shut it down (during a fire evacuation) would a hay farmer pull a gun too? Was there an attitude change possible from the Sheriffs that might have de-escalated the situation during the evacuation? Or were they out there fuckin with people?

In truth alot goes to dairies, which are subsidized because milk is declining in popularity as it isn’t that healthy for adults. Then hobby horses. buncha useless face kickers, eatn hay waiting for their day on the plate at a French restaurant. A lot of alfalfa gets exported to China for dairies, where milk is becoming popular with richer families trying to fatten up their lil kids like American fatties. So ultimately much of that irrigation water just turns into money.

Yes, Waterboard said the same thing about cannabis water use in Hayfork valley. It was negligible compared to alfalfa and hay growers. They even have an unpublished study stating it which I got a copy of. It’s one reason they have never restricted licenses under the impacted watershed designation.

The Hmong fought valiantly with Americans in the “secret war” and it ended with them having no home to even return to. They earned their rights to come here with blood, sweat and tears. It’s always been convenient Americans never learned of this, so their racism can continue to flourish. Because if you were taught this in school, it would be “critical race theory” and it would have hurt too many white peoples feelings to be informed with reality. Like if this fool could manage to throw out all the Hmong, another group wouldn’t hop right in and take over. Then again, maybe that’s the plan.

Does fighting on the same side, surely out of seeing a benefit and not out is sheer altruism, create a free pass that excuses everything illegal forever? How do you know what “Americans” (by which white people are surely what is meant) know about the Vietnam War? How is okay to say Americans are racist but not the Hmong? Do you know all Americans and all Hmong? Such wide ranging sterotyping is just as bigoted and anything it condemns.

Might add those Hmong who fought with U.S. forces are now in their 70’s and 80’s if still alive. The younger generation of Hmong seem to have problems with law enforcement.

Your comment is a load of horseshit!

We never should have been involved in Cambodia OR Vietnam, it was a waste of Billions of dollars and 50,000 American lives, a cultural disaster for American youth, and the net result was dissention, political upheaval, and many far reaching social problems, like Heroin addiction, inner city chaos, Black unrest, Feminism, and a generation of young men who went to college for no reason other than to escape the draft…

Vietnam caused the social problems in Humboldt as well, with the disaffected former hippies and soldiers who moved there to escape society and the establishment and ended up destroying the environment in order to become wealthy from pot farming…

No wonder the criminals, intellectuals, and the wealthy were the ones who got to immigrate, and the Hmong who fought “alongside the Americans” were participants in an illegal and secret war that never should have happened…

As the Hmong who showed up in California were part of the growing of poppy for Khun Sa, of course they would be attracted to flower production, and would have no qualms about illegal activity…

Allowing the immigration of the Hmong/Laotian and the Vietnamese forever changed the landscape of California at a delicate time, and as I said before, the 10 square mile greenhouse neighborhood was not built overnight… The inhabitants of Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos should have been left alone to self-determine, and we never should have fought a long, losing war there, because there was no reason to do so, and, we never should have imported these people whose culture is so different and so at odds with ours.

There is no excuse for the poor government programs of the last 60 years, and, if you want it cleaned up, then clean it the fuck up, and quit asking for Elon Musk to help, because he doesn’t care about anything but his own power and influence…

National Guard, Martial Law, Black ops if necessary.

Just get them out, bulldoze the place, and stop letting bullshit like this happen in California.

See: Japan

Feminists wanted to end subjugation and inequality of women, by subjugation of and discrimination against men… My mom was a feminist who wore dresses and had 5 kids. Went to UC Berkeley.

It all kinda went in the wrong direction, but now women have jobs and men don’t.

Remember, when my parents were born, people had Model T’s, there was the great depression, and then there was WWII. In 1956 a new house cost $7500, and the payment was $100/month!

Now young people have Tech Jobs and million dollars apartments/Teslas, and they don’t want to pay the costs to raise a kid… They get dogs, instead…

And, I actually just said what I said to see if anyone was awake.

Now that is a bit of stereotyping. The Hmong helped us so we helped them, unlike the majority of Afghani helpers who were thrown to the wolves “oops, so sorry, good luck, hope your wife and kids make it, now go get screwed.” It’s the same way certain politicians treat blacks, like forlorn children they need to scold and take care of resulting in normal citizens thinking every black person they see is up to no good. Lay off and give it up, it is total wack bullshit perpetrated by the big guys with bad intentions.

They have health care people, but how professional they are is a matter of experience and opinion…

Read a little history, and try having a taste of respect for people who have been around a bit longer than you…

I spent a 40 year career serving people on Medi-Cal, and IMO, as a California Native, California shot right down the tubes about the time Vietnam War became a thing…

Yes, I marched against the war, took part in the whole thing, had a College Deferment, and, the Vietnam War changed the course of my life, restricted MY freedoms, and affected our entire society…

Allowing the immigration of these people was an act of National Guilt, and, now the Sheriff of Siskiyou is asking an ass clown like Elon Musk for help cleaning up the “Hmong Problem”… And you say I’M off my meds?

Look, I’m the sober guy, who studied history, but don’t listen to me, study the History of Vietnam, and the Golden Triangle, and realize that the Hmong didn’t even have a written language in the 1970’s…

The Hmong showed up, went straight on welfare, and had huge families, as a survival mechanism.

The Hmong mindset is unchanged in 2022, they still hate Americans, and they will continue to try to get away with anything the Mexican Cartels do, in order to exhibit their hatred of Americans.

I have been “off my meds” for 30 years, so quit smoking that dope and wake TF up…

Real farmers have farms, and, they are the reason there is food.

Marijuana is grown in trailers, plastic tents, and, sometimes, outdoors. Marijuana farmers have a legacy of pollution, wasting water and creating unsanitary living conditions… Kinda like Opium Farmers in Laos/Myanmar/Vietnam/Cambodia…

Marijuana is smoked by the deluded and enslaved for purposes of intoxication, and relief from the craziness of living.

The wealthy approve of marijuana smoking as it calms the masses and keeps the masses consuming.

Consumption drove the Vietnam War too, since we had all this hardware left-over, and we were developing new tools, like helicopters, mini-guns, M-16’s and copacetic napalm and Agent Orange…

Corporations got rich, 50,000 American Soldiers got dead, and Vietnam suffered irreparable damage…

And why were we there in the first place?

As “advisers”…

And like for the Ukraine, we are “suppliers”…

How many Afghanis were allowed to immigrate? Iraqis? How many Ukrainians?

If a Medical Doctor from Egypt, applies to immigrate, with his family, he will wait 7 years for a visa, and he will have to attest and swear repeatedly that he does not desire to overthrow our government.

Heck, if you apply for a Federal job you will have to get references from your neighbors, withstand an offensive security check, and get fingerprinted and background checked. You will have to attest that you are not a child molester…

So, there was a secret war? You would never have known about it, in the 1970’s…

I don’t know where you acquired this information, maybe you are an old stockbroker, but the current story is Lady-Bird invested her inheritance in Radio and TV stations, in the 40’s and 50’s, and LBJ’s political power created the Federal Agency that controlled communications, the FCC.

That’s where the money to buy the ranch came from.

LBJ nearly died in the mid-50’s from a heart attack, and his poor health bought him early death, at 64, in 1973.

LBJ was an accident of history, just like Trump, but he was considered to be a good President, and was elected by the largest margin in history, against Goldwater, a straight-up conservative crazy-man who wanted to start a nuclear war against Russia…

LBJ started the Vietnam war, but the snowball was rolling down the hill much earlier…

What else do you want to know?

Google it…

Well its certainly the second highest of the cascade range and beautiful. And the Hmong operations there disregard the law and the environment, similar to the misfit grows in the emerald triangle, and land forfeiture should be an available alternative should they refuse to comply with the legal requirements. But this is what the County gets for allowing these questionable subdivisions of rural land in the first place.

Looked it up. It is the 5th highest in the state. I was surprised to learn that there are 12 14Kplus peaks in California.

There are 10 higher peaks in the US than Whitney that are in Alaska. Colorado has several. Mt Shasta is 34th in the country. Second in the Cascades.

But it is beautiful.

A little bizzare getting funding from private sources to run your county. I’ve never heard of that before. Get a bigger budget or justify needing more money. I can’t see why Mr. Musk should or would subsidize a specific county. And no, whoever wrote that article doesn’t know Musk trying a blunt on-air is much different than smoking weed 5 x a day. Mr. Musk has no time for drug abuse. It would cost him too much.

The sheriff has trashed grow sites and left a big pile of crap for months/years after their ‘action’

Lots of photos of the vestiges of sheriff’s ‘eradication’ efforts…

They’re racist as fuck…Siskiyou, while not the complete hell hole that is Humboldt, is very retro in attitudes…MJ is villianized but farmers sucking up what’s left of the water table for cows overseas–this is what flies here.

Heaven forbid anyone take a gander about and figure out a new plan

Perhaps, there’d be money in the budget if you’re not whisky throttling your weapons at evacuees..🤔 Then again, you’d probably spend the surplus chasing antifa buses , perpetuating missing white woman syndrome on fox in your newly starched white hood, and Christian crowd- funding for your next billionaire Stan account on fb. What you won’t spend it on: diversity training, actual law enforcement, methamphetamine eradication, or(gasp) arresting a Caucasian pot farmer.

Trinity Pines East. They should have directed the Lava Fire to run right through it. A couple bulldozers could clean that up in a week. It’s ugly af but still nothing compared to the Oregon “CBD” farms- that scene up there is off the charts sickening. And the White City/Medford industrial indoors that receive little to zero regulation/enforcement/eradication…It’s hard to not think that the overall strategy is to just let it all run wild and hope the price drops and over-production will destroy the black market, destroy all small outfits, destroy everybody except for the well-funded corporate overlords who can write off a few years of losses. THEN they swoop in…or the feds sell us all out to corporate Mexican and Colombian production. It’s over, Humboldt!

Yes it is very similar to Trinity Pines, expect our sheriff doesn’t pull PR stunts like this guy. Suggesting to redirect the fire is arson and potentially homicide, which sounds right up your alley.

I will agree that the over production (increased supply without a corresponding increase in demand) is the only way this situation gets resolved. Unfortunately this will bring down all those looking to do the right thing and get licenses or grow ethical.

If enforcement worked it would have done so years ago. It’s just a job creation tool and sometimes a budget increase mechanism. Macroeconomics will do what CAMP and CDFW WET could only dream of.

The subdivision in this video is about 5% or less. here is a typical homestead in 2012. perspective is key. why does this sheriff need help? i spent 20 minutes and i am done investigating. this is with no doubt just another dim minded political stunt.

“LaRue blamed the increase of criminal cannabis activity and rising violence on a “criminal component,” suggesting ties between crimes, gangs, and “Chinese nationals that are in our community,” despite a lack of evidence.”

“Asian Americans comprise just 2.6% of (Siskiyou) county’s population, according to the U.S. Census, but between 2019 and 2021, they were involved in 27.4% of traffic stops, 78% of cannabis cultivation citations and nearly 82% of property liens …”

The Vista’s of Siskiyou. The Pines of Trinity. Sounds like the making of a Pro Football organization. Enforcement ain’t the answer. Take those enforcemt dollars and get some dump trucks and clean it up. Lots of plastic is an issue as well for me so maybe teaching other farming techniques. Again, we are wasting a shit load of money on enforcement and I’d rather see those dollars used for cleaning, clearing an educating plus they’d probably have enough left over to waste on this sad excuse of a public employee’s salary. Wow, they voted for this whiney “edit.”

Our current Sheriff got appointed by our County Supervisors about 2 years or so ago, after his predecessor quit. There were about 5 candidates to choose from & the winner came from our local, junior college, COS, where he taught LE. Siskiyou County has the most acreage per capita of any CA county. Median income is only $24,000 per year. Mt. Shasta is the largest per volume of any mountain in the Cascade Range. The county also has a brand new court house & almost always votes Republican. That doesn’t get much respect in, “Commiefornia!” Dems run this state, have a CA vice-President, has 2 senators & the Speaker of the house! God help us all!!!

I’m in the Hmong side. It’s just suspicious that the law enforcement does not drop russets and then post letters on all the doors and mailboxes like they did in other towns in the hills.
