Hope you learn more of this situation
These people give the majority of good people who grow cannabis a bad reputation.
Who are “these people”
Trinity Pines grows 2016
It’s more intense when you zoom out
You are assuming a lot with the statement “majority of good….”
It is like listening to OAN or RT….your assumption is based on a (biased) viewpoint without any factual data from a large data capture.
Our hope about a situation does not make it a reality one way or the other.
History (factual evidence introduced into court records like the Meserve legal case) shows that damage does occur to the seasonal workers in the illegal cannabis industry. (Or the people beheaded in Covelo). The extent of the damage will never be known but the fact remains that people went missing, wildlife and earth was poisoned for 30 plus years.
The earth will heal itself overtime, But the pain and suffering will last a lifetime for the all the victims of the illegal cannabis industry.
Of course the pain and suffering continues for the family and friends of the people who were never found and still lie buried in an unmarked grave.
I look fore ward to federal legalization.
Animal victims too. Trinity has a huge epidemic of dumped and abandoned dogs right now (mostly guard types). Many around The Pines and Hayfork. Shelter is overflowing and dogs in new states of suffering are found every day.
Well I’m sure everyone knows how I feel about this kind of shit. Once again prison is too good for him.
In Trinity that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Many more victims like this people don’t speak up, they’re scared. To find your inner voice after months or years of beat down can be incredibly hard.
Words of support to the victim…may you find the strength to carry on and find better in your life. IHopefully, there’s some kind of assistance within the community or the Trinity legal Network victim witness program. ❤
We should all get involved as a movement to help Law Enforcement root out these scum before they try to extort all of us.
Law enforcement is the scum in Trinity and Mendocino, best start there.
I am a local…what about you..do you defend this trinity pine invasion ?
Not surprising that is taking place in that area.
Went there to deliver soil 10 years ago…what a trip! Can’t believe they still allow these people out there “un-checked” – it’s like Deliverance meets Mad Max
Awhile back the feds had set up right outside the main entrance to Trinity Pines. They just pulled over any vehicle with a trailer that went in or out. Had a friend get caught with several thousand pounds of trim, and the feds that arrested him said it was a daily occurrence, and his bust was on the LOW END. With that amount of money, you’d think they’d work towards improvement rather than dystopia…. Like someone said earlier, a few giving the rest a bad name.
Drove right by a guy in a small beater Toyota with 250 gallon tank in the bed pumping water right outta the creek – in June-July! 10 yards from the road …for all to see! Crazy
Craziest part…10+ of HCSO finest were at my door 2 months later for 150 papered plants – ummm have you been to TP (oh ya that’s Trinity’s mess/problem)…what a country – ck that COUNTY!
Did you turn his ass in or look the other way afraid..like a little scared rabbit..Time to act people thats what the laws are for..
Happens in Humboldt county too. Ever wonder about cheap Asian trimmers that come in large crews? Such a deal.
Most people I know with their big permitted farms use these crews. Y’know- the “good players”. Hey- they are suffering from price drops and they HAVE to stay competitive…They have “stepped into the light” and such and blah blah blah
Any one that hires a mong trim crew is supporting human trafficking. I’ve heard horror stories . The only way you get labor that cheap is thru exploration .
Agreed
I’m in absolute shock !! This going on our Emerald Triangle ?? Bahahaha
I’m so glad we “legalized” er I mean gave it all away to the corporations so this won’t happen anymore! Oh …wait….
Why yesss. I was under the impression once the miracle cure herb was legal illness and disease was going to be cured. Peace was going to blanket the land. And the enormous tax base that the organic/ free trade / all inclusive/ equitable / non capitalistic industry would generate. Was going to end poverty,crappy roads, sub par school systems, global warming, terrorism, road rage, cutting in line, homelessness, and the well intentioned politicians wd see to it. Plus we could sit around gettin high on the street maaaannnn! Well the last part happened? Congrats voters good thinkin!
You forgot it would eliminate all crime
That too. And save puppies and kittens. After all it is a miracle plant. I do know it cures ppl of ambition. And memory.
Don’t forget all the kids doing dabs. It cures them of good grades and college admission…
i like you let’s be friends
Good thing they destroyed the evidence
Andrew Tate just arrested for sex trafficking.
Good job Greta!!!
