SFGATE: Two homicides connected to Mendocino County’s black market cannabis

I dunno, there are definitely less reports of human trafficking on weed farms. During the height of illegality there was a girl gone missing or locked in a box every month. People were getting shot for stumbling upon hidden grows.
The wine growers are just as bad, just as environmentally irresponsible. I grew up on a pear and grape farm, we all have cancer and alcoholism and we use migrant labor too.
The blackmarket grows aren’t selling to locals anymore. They’re selling it to New Mexico and Georgia. Think of the taxes Mendo could receive if all our weed was exported legally.
Those dry states are just PRETENDING their population doesn’t smoke! Because of THAT weed remains an uexportable product, and despite living in the 4th largest economy in the world, California, Mendocino County is STILL impoverished, STILL has no jobs, STILL has no
doctors. We must demand that those backwards states stop pretending they don’t smoke or have premarital sex and that they start paying taxes to Mendo on OUR exported weed!!
