Sounds like a trap or just doesn’t really make sense
illegal cannabis is destroying Humboldt county out here in willow creek illegal gardens are lighting the mountains on fire #knobfire it’s not looking good for the illegal cannabis business 😆
Spoken like a true propagandist for the corporate takeover…Elite and wealthy owners paying poverty wages to local serfs is the corporate model. The only good news is that they will all be plowed over in the coming years…running away with their stacks of loot like the finally overthrown 3rd world oppressors- whose mindset they share. “All for me and my inner circle”
Oh you poor misled soul, I have lived on both sides of the market, and the Traditional market is still very much alive.
It was a ‘legal’ grow that started the knob fire. Anyone who lives here knows who it was- it’s no secret. But since all ‘legal’ grows are flooding our ‘traditional’ market, I put ‘legal’ in quotes
After the funds pass through enough agencies and everybody gets paid for checking boxes then the environment can be saved! Of course only about 15% of the original funds will be left for the actual work. Hey- We are the government and we are here to help you! Thanks for voting for “legalization”!!
Yeah legalization is truly great!
1) great edibles
2) more choice of strains
3) no waiting three hours to days to “score”
4) don’t have to travel to amsterdam for genetics (Humboldt seed company)
5) buy six clones and after six months…smoke for over a year 😀
6) sales tax paid at the dispensary goes to cal state and UC system
7) part of the cannabis taxes goes to chp to develop at weed test for “high drivers”
8) cannabis cup events
9) cool pot lounge at the old Kmart 😘😻
10) not bothered by police or helicopters
11) weed smoking is mainstream
Traditional (illegal) market is not good at all!
1) you get rich and your customers get jail time
2) trimmigrants take the money out of state
3) polluted streams and eel River stopped flowing
4) illegal industry creates crime (how many bodies are buried in the hills?)
5) local roads are destroyed by tractor trailer trucks of soil and lots of traffic
6) home invasions
7) garberville was a nice sleepy town in the 1950’s, now it is scary
8) rat poison is killing owls and raptors (ferndale steeple owls eggs)
9) “Covelo after Dark”… (beheadings & body found in trunk of a car on FH7)
10) generational criminal enterprises…they know no other skills.
11) hard to get a job when you have no legal work on your resume
12) no social security because you never paid into the system
13) never paid taxes on the sale of the cannabis you grew (sales tax on soil is a joke)
14) noise pollution from fans/generators
15) light pollution
16) air pollution from “grow dozers” and generators
17) violence against women (see vanity fair article on KAILAN MESERVE)
18) missing women
19) homeless (people who came for quick money and can’t leave)
20) Acceptance and encouragement of all drug use (no one tells you to stop)
21) innocent deer being killed by growers with shitty fencing (deer can jump!)
22) rat poison equals fresh dead rat eaten by owls, foxes, bobcats, raccoons, possum
and skunks.
Love weed and loved growing this year:
Chile Verde
Templar knight
Plus four other strains
Special thanks to the gangerie, satori wellness and HPRC Arcata….you folks are awesome & kind.
Remember nothing stays the same.
The “traditional” market will slowly wither as more states legalize it.
The “traditional” market will slowly die when people experience the joy of watching their first season of cannabis flowering, harvesting, drying, curing and storage in mason jars.
Thank you Kym for reporting the good with the bad
Here is some real reality for you from an illicit grower. The crime has not stopped just not in your back yard anymore.

Furthermore, My dank Humboldt stanky sticky nugz are grown with love and care. Cleaner than the products you are buying at the dispenceraries you claim. If you would like to challenge me we can send samples of what you purchase against what I produce to SC Labs, anytime! I know the majority of the growers you reference producing the product you buy. Thanks for at least not purchasing from wall street corporate ran dispenceraries. However, many growers who are not legal, especially the growers I know, have even higher standards than what is required complying to be legal. It’s why the Traditional Market dominates the marijauna industry and always will.
No, the legal market will die in the Emerald Triangle, and not slowly either ! Most small farmers are not making it. Hey if you are traditional and you have a bad year ( either a bad crop or the market takes a shit ) you can just decide the following year to either grow less or simply skip a year . Now y’all’s legal farm has to pay approximately 50k in permit fees if they don’t grow a leaf of cannabis! Or I can surrender my licenses and lose the 300k I had to pay the Humboldt County mafia ( Planning/building/Supervisors ) and the state . Ya I just love being legal 😡😡😡
Ha Ha! Everything good goes on one side and everything bad- even “homelessness” goes on the other side! How simple you are. I won’t waste my time in your corrupted details because you are beyond reason. It IS cool to see people growing their first plants- their enthusiasm and delight. Everybody I know back east is now doing it and I am providing them with what they lacked- excellent genetics. Humboldt is crashing hard- thanks to simpletons and fools who wanted to be “safe” and “free” in the arms of their governmental regulations….
You know what Farce , I have to agree, back in the day growing was fun ! It was awesome to see the results of each strain ect !
You say the legal market ain’t backed by wall street investors who dictate what your per pound price is, I beg to differ.

Those that went legal that grow the Humboldt dankness we welcome you back to the Traditional side with open arms. Control your pricing which is double even triple what your corporate overlords will pay for your hard work and no taxes. Blessings.
Fuck Legal!!
Ya the 160 per lb tax on the legal side is cray cray ! If prices get much lower we may as well just give them our product . We’ll be paying that set tax no matter what we get paid per lb 😡😡😡
A friend with weed is always a friend indeed. Never give it to them! Take a few pounds, pick up some ziploc bags, cruise around and find a corporate dispensary. Then just hand it out by walking up and down the street or employ some non workin individuals with a half pound to help distribute. Much more fun and interesting that you will run into a few buyers to help fund your trade, lol.
Haha ! Love it !
The tax for legal growers should be a percentage of wholesale sales, not a set amount. Saturation of the market was completely predictable.
Agreed, to both !
‘Oh!’ I thought. ‘That seems like it could help with the exorbitantly high costs of the ‘repairs’ (like replacing good condition functioning culverts that have been working well for 40+ years) demanded by CDFW’. But reading further, I see this is only for abused parcels – “(this program) may be used to fund the cleanup, remediation, and restoration of environmental damage in watersheds affected by cannabis cultivation and related activities”. That’s nice. But is no help to we folks who have been good stewards of the land! Grrrrr.
They got you too, huh? I’m in for almost 10k for replacing a functional culvert that’s not related to cannabis. It’s fucking extortion! I’m essentially paying 10k for permission to replace a 400 dollar pipe that allready works just fine! Meanwhile there are many undersized and buried culverts on AP and other county roads that the county isn’t being forces to replace.
Yeah that was the first clue that we were getting ripped off. People submitting permit applications were getting inspected and notified of very expensive (and unnecessary) culvert replacements and road paving requirements. Meanwhile the county roads and culverts were in much worse shape but that was never addressed! Ha ha!! Hey- at least they let permit applicants blow up huge grows while they abated the smaller neighbors…and even let those mega-grows sell weed on the black market! What a farce it has all been…
