Arcata Eye, 21 Oct 2010 – To all the ganja farmers, hustlers, bucket spinners and trimmers, First off, allow me to remind you that we all owe our livelihoods to this sacred plant. In fact, everyone in the Emerald Triangle, if not the entire state, benefits from this plant directly or indirectly on a daily basis. The huge down side to all of this is the thousands of lives being wasted in jail. On top of that, for every person in jail are families and friends paying the price. Millions if not billions of dollars are wasted enforcing these antiquated laws, and precious resources are wasted by growers trying to keep themselves safe; i.e. the garbage bags of fertile soil brought to the dump every day. Paranoia and secrecy abound, isolating communities and severing us from living our truth as we try to protect ourselves.
