I Have lived in Humboldt county my whole life. Growing weed is not as romantic as it seems. It has definitely helped the economy of our county, but it has hurt us too.

We are also having a problem with creeks drying up from growers drawing water. The state is starting to crack down on this, just trying to get growers to be compliant
