3rd or 4 th. Generation pot growers. Dont know anything but selling drugs To aquire cash. It was a predictable end when all the brilliant pot people voted their own demise. With prop 215. Wow man we can get high in public man! I suppose its hard to see very far ahead when your brain is in a constant fog.

Same thing could be said about a lot of professions. Think coal mining, factory work, automobile manufacturing, mafia, etc, etc. I as a young person I knew a very successful man who owned a company. He said some of the most unhappy people he knew took their father’s place at the head of/ owning a company (the dad started). EVERYONE should take the opportunity to find their passions and pursue them.
All that said, Alex’s parents may not have encouraged him to discover and to pursue his skills outside the world of drug dealing.
And. The above is not to excuse his choses, but rather to understand them.

His parents had nothing to do with the way he turned out. He has 10 other siblings who turned out just fine with professions such as teaching and nursing. He chose his own path. His parents worked 12 hours a day at a meat plant. Do not base his actions on anyone but him. He chose this life and has refused help unless he wanted money.

Pro 215 was fine, growers thrived during the 215 era. It’s that prop 64 with that no acreage cap and no license cap that built the coffin and nailed it up tight!

What in gods name makes you think growers voted for prop 64???
Over half of the state that voted in favor then enacted bans.
Prop 64 is the war on drugs 2.0

Fifth generation. Maybe 7…If you go back only a generation or so they probably raised chickens too. Then you have the whole chicken abusing cartel down in Mendo. It’s all connected.
