Humboldt Grace Invites Global Cannabis Community to Share Input on Ethics Through New Survey
Press release from Humboldt Grace:
Humboldt Grace, a DreamMaker project of The Ink People Center for the Arts, has launched the Humboldt Grace Cannabis Ethics Campaign — an education and community engagement initiative designed to uplift the voices of legacy cultivators, Indigenous partners, caregivers, scientists, and modern entrepreneurs in shaping a more ethical cannabis future.
The survey invites anyone with lived experience in cannabis — from growers and breeders to patients, scientists, and policymakers — to share their views on what ethical cannabis means to them. The survey is available now at www.humboldtgrace.org.
“Ethics are the roots of a just, sustainable, and inclusive cannabis industry,” said Lelehnia DuBois, Founder of Humboldt Grace and Director of the Humboldt Legacy Project. “We built an ethical pathway for genetics in our first white paper, our second is tested the process using Skunk #1 as the beta varietal, and now we feel the global cannabis community should put in its two cents about ethics around the plant itself.”
“Ethics used to be all that held the underground cannabis counterculture together. In the light of Post-Prohibition cannabis industry.” Caleb Chen, The Highest Critic.
Building on the Work of the Humboldt Legacy Project
The Humboldt Legacy Project has been exploring how cultural values and scientific data can work together to protect, authenticate, and value cannabis genetics and heritage.
The first Humboldt Legacy Project white paper in 2022 established an ethical pathway for genetics. The second applies that framework with the infamous varietal Skunk #1 , testing ethical pathways in practice. This new survey expands that work by collecting community insights to help open up the conversation around ethics as cannabis legalization globalizes.
The public survey is open now through December 31st, 2025, with findings to be published in early 2026 as part of Humboldt Grace’s Humboldt Legacy Project.

What exactly is this supposed to accomplish? Where do you guys get the money to do this shit?
I’m fairly open minded and took a lot of L in the late eighties/early nineties and this still reads to me like blah, blah, blah, community, blah blah, inclusive, etc.
Establish an ethical pathway for genetics? It’s a fricking plant not a lab rat.
I have to say, we seem to but be cut from the same cloth and I like you found this to be not only trite but “kind’a cringe” as the kids say these days.
So many Humboldt County people, having consumed so much marijuana and alcohol over so many years, seem to become more and more weird with each passing year.
Ethics? You call it cannabis which proves you have no ethics. Go f@%k yourself you will never understand our legacy and you will never have our genetics. We own this plant always have and always will. We prove it every year as your corporate trenches come due, lol.
I have always liked and appreciated your insights and comments. I’m a fan. However, as someone who studied neurobiology and neurochemistry so I could take postgraduate courses on cannabis it kind of bugs me the way you freak out over the scientific name. It’s always been weed or pot to me, i.e., until I learned to study cannabis
research papers.
If you grow with love and intention? Bless your heart.
I respect the scientific word for weed. However, the people now using that word have done nothing but take, take and take, never giving, just take. They take knowing they won’t be successful but what is worse is they prevent those from whom they took any chance of success ever!
Ethics? Home invasion robberies, missing people out in the hills, trimmers being taken advantage of, stealing, destroying the environment, providing gateway drugs to generations of addicts, grow-hoes getting food stamps and other entitlements while driving very expensive vehicles to the DHSS…
Those ethics?
Boy, what would Humboldt County and the rest of the Emerald Triangle be without them high-faluting ETHICS that all them dope-dealing, dope-growers, and their over-decorated mattresses had back in the day!
You don’t get a press release every time a normal grow gets harvested, or a crew gets paid, or for every successful deal where both parties go home satisfied.
Spare me, please, Any growers left out there? Reading this? Or remembering?Like huh???
True Humboldt..? True Humboldt..is part of an Ethical discussion? Thats kind of Unethical ,considering the Ethics involved to do the the unethical things They did. How many sucker growers signed up with, did deals or are still owed money from the unethical deals True Humboldt made? Shall we name name of the deal makers? Or the growers who got shammed?
Oh wait….thats part of doing business, “ethical” business, Ethical Humboldt ganja business.
Hauling ass down some forest service road with your lights off with a load in the back of a pickup, seems ethical.
2022 “ethical pathway for genetics”? What the helly? Never make another boring gelato cross?
Legalization has been served as retribution to (the small) cultivators by the State.
Ethical weed would wholesale for $625/lb. if living wages were the goal.
