I grew up in southern Humboldt County, in the heart of the emerald triangle. Marijuana used to be "mom and pop" businesses, often with legitimate businesses used as fronts. More recently, we've seen more Mexican cartel activity which has increased the violence, among other things. I now live in Colorado where I voted for marijuana legalization (though I neither use nor grow), but back home, the growers don't want legalization because it would destroy their profits. It's a very interesting market to look into. There's also a show called Weed Country that follows growers in the emerald triangle.
