[Photo from CDFW]
On Aug. 9, 2022, officers with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant in the area of Bell Springs Road in Laytonville. Support was provided by CDFW environmental scientists.
Prior to serving the search warrant, a records check was conducted on the property to determine what steps may have been taken to secure a county permit and state license. In this case, no county permit or state license to cultivate commercial cannabis had been issued.
Sixteen environmental violations were documented, including a water diversion, streambed alteration, as well as litter, sediment, and other substances deleterious to California’s resources that were near waterways.
Officers eradicated 1,423 illegal cannabis plants. The investigation is on-going and no other information is currently available.

Lol 4am thoughts…. couldnt have trolled them better myself top G
Is not it an shame. Hard working agents our villanized for doing they’re job preventing other hard working agents from doing they’re job. When will this madness end. I thought with legalization came every body could work they’re land how they saw fit with out over sight from well meaning legislators. A event such as this in are little hamlet should not continue to happening with such irregularity. May be we should revisit passage of AB187 again to support are schools and out reach programs in the future.

Those hard working “agents” are thieves. Your paid protectors terrorize and steal from the local rural population. Sorry to break the news……… but Humbodt MET members are psychopathic losers who get off on terrorizing people who grow a plant!

You think that because you didn’t read the proposition voted in.
Most people who enthusiastically embraced “legalization” never bothered to read the proposition. Idiocracy.
Totally agree. Just as most ‘licensed’ growers haven’t even read and understand the regulations they work under.
Study is the key to knowledge and good decisions.
“Their” job. Good grief.
If they were “working the land” properly they would not be diverting streams & piling up garbage to grow a “crop” that currently they cannot make enough profit on to meet expenses. Cannabis overreach is exposing the stupidity of these growers and also their greed.
Are you sure about that? The California government diverts 80 percent of the eel river watershed whats wrong with people diverting for themselves it isnt like the people the government is taking the water for pay for the land on which that water came from much unlike those who divert water for their crops . Why should people be allowed to live in tic tac in the middle of a desert sucking dry all the water around them all the way out to the state line ? Surely all those good folks out there dont litter right ? And saving up your trash till you have a full load to take to the dump has always been the way country folks have handled their trash since it became known to be wrong to dig a hole and burry it . But maybe you would rather have them waste fuel on many trips instead of one , wonder which one is worse on the environment ?
Been a quiet summer for the thieves with badges…was just wondering the other day where all the “headlines” have been the past few months! Apparently they’ve wiped out all the illegal grows – except for this one…
It blows my mind there are still people growing in 707 bags at that scale in 2022. Bammer factories must have undocumented labor they don’t pay to make it pencil out on those eventual 300$ units.
Wild right! they could have bought twice as much soil for half the price and reuse it every year if they went bulk. Those 707 bags probably cost as much as a the ounce of midsy outdoor it will produce
Saw a fella in Bayside in the spring buying like 2 pallets of canna nutes. Paid the cashier several substantial stocks of 20s, had to be 15 grand minimum.
It was only the realization that I’d probably prefer if he went out of business vs Bayside that kept me from stopping him.
Only newts as salamanders are considered racists
The roots bags cut n plant. That is an environmental crime in itself. ❤
Meanwhile in southern California millionaires are being made from desert weed put into pre rolls. No abatement, no raids, no code violations and no CDFW.

That’s cause the people who are in charge of humboldt county are a bunch of dumb asses while people here losing everything people in southern cal are becoming millionaires
Nail on the head.
The people making the rules in Humboldt County made a lot of mistakes. And so did many of the people who got licensed (or tried to). Southern California ag land was always going to dominate the commercial weed market once it was allowed. They’ve got every advantage at producing cannabis flower for cheap.
Like any other remote area, ag producers who want to compete in the wider market need to produce a specialty product. Too many growers tried to emulate a Salinas model, but on a smaller scale from a remote location. It was never gonna work
Yeah if you mean the mistake was trusting the P.O.S’s in the planning department who told us our permit would be $2000 and we could do 1.5 acres in our first meeting…my mistake 😆
That’s definitely one mistake.
I’m mostly thinking the big mistake was imagining (and projecting) that folks would produce multiple acres and maintain the quality level they had when they grew several thousand square feet.
The reality is that the type of flower that this area has historically produced, and which has commanded top dollar, is a specialty product that is incredibly difficult and expensive to produce at scale. Very few farmers locally appear to have been prepared for the quality control challenges of expanding to the size they chose to pursue. And production opening state wide inevitably lead to a new baseline of fresh mids for low prices. That’s what the central valley specializes in.
No way those guys are selling 3.5 million pre-rolls a month in California.
lol, look at you!! You the only one who picked on it! Much Love, we got this our industry MFKers. Spew all the bullshit ya want cause we about to rock you cannabis fucks!!!! Wall street can kiss our ass, the end is near, lol. Welcome to the war on drugs bitches!! You ain’t seen shit yet.
Keep telling yourself that and don’t forget to apply for food stamps.
Looks like they got the deps in and out of there in time before the goons could snake it!
Pic of the litter?
Those plants are not the pick of the litter. 🤣
Seriously though, I was wondering why there weren’t pics too.
The world is pretty dumb to the Preroll scam. I’ll bet a decent tobacco grower has the same feeling. Pure tobacco is more tasty and has better oils than a pre rolled cigarette
