Humboldt County, home of Giant Redwoods, mighty rivers, remote, inaccessible geography, and killer weed. As an outpost for the back tot land hippie movement of the 70s, its cheap parcels, previously ravaged and denuded by logging, were reconditioned in an attempt to leave the pollution and social decay of the cities behind. The rugged individualism and counter culture morphed into community creation, and against this backdrop, the freedom afforded created a wild west. The seeds left from old lids of Michoacan, and Thai Sticks did well even in the poor soil, and with a little reading and a bag of chicken shit, the sinsemillan revolution began.
Originally a small crop that supported family farmers (and the renegades who had thought they had escaped straight life, corporate greed, superfund sites, Vietnam, and other woes we still see today), the quickly realized market commodity drove a capitalist culture of its own. Alongside a deep ethos of environmentalism and community, Cannabis built an underground economy, which flourished for years, despite posse commitatus violations. By the second generation, though, it outgrew its community roots.
We’re now at the tail of a decade of greenrushing megagrows, seeking to extract wealth with no concern for their environmental impact. Against this backdrop, while politicians pretended to deliver a policy choice that would allow generational farmers and cannabis businesspeople to move into a legal construct, the theft of the market through Prop 64, and deliverance to heavily capitalized big business in the mid-state and desert regions, have left the vaunted Humboldt Farmers bereft. Those who made it through the hoops to regulation, while vilified by their neighbors whom the state has recriminalized, still seek to grow legendary badass Humboldt weed. At FullyMelted, we use only craft, family, independent cannabis, for you, the cannaseur,
