As opposed to rat poison anywhere else? I don't see this as a failure of pot farming, but rather farming in general.

- blowski 9y agoI think what the article is saying is that marijuana tends to be grown frequently in the feeding grounds of owls, more so than other non-marijuana crops. In addition, the unregulated nature of growing marijuana means the regulators can't track what's going on, or punish infringement. Overuse of poisons by mainstream farms is a problem, but a different one. That said, I couldn't see any real data here. I don't know whether this is a bigger problem than people using rat poison in general, or putting slug pellets around their lettuces.

- danjoc 9y agoBased on your defensive response, I take it Californians eat/smoke produce grown with rat poison. Have you guys really thought about what you're doing? That doesn't seem very smart, at all. I've never seen rat poison in use on a farm around these parts. Always farm cats. I'll be sure to check my labels more carefully at the grocery from now on. No more California produce for me.
- CodeWriter23 9y agoPretty sure The Spotted Owl eats cats too.

- spraak 9y agoWhat a poor sample size to base your judgment on. Also, it's pretty hard to avoid California grown produce. > the state produces almost half of all the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown in the country, as well as a whopping share of the livestock and dairy.
