A Real Pot Farm Even though I am relatively close to LA I actually live in an agricultural area. There are 2 ways to get into town - through the canyons and over the mountain passes or across the valley of farm land. I alternate routes becasue they are so different and both offer interesting scenery. Last week this was one of the sights I passed through the valley route. With marijuana on it's way to becoming completely legal many are trying to get ahead of the crowd waiting to profit from this. I know agricultural practices and techniques have changed over my 50 + years off the farm but somehow I think the guys setting up this "pot" farm got it wrong.  Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Not sure what crop this will eventually be but not real "pot" yet anyway. I too lived in Redondo Beach for a couple of years with my ex. I liked being so close to the beach and the casual fun active life style as well as the variety of things to do. Lately though things have gotten so crazy I consider myself lucky to be out here in the canyons away from it all. I haven't been to Santa Barbara in a year or so. If I ever get my "chores" done I need to do so, along with a visit to Solvang for one of the smorgasbords. Spiritwoman ^i^

You are right. I'm not sure what this crop will be. The neighboring fields have been changed from a variety of crops to black berries and raspberries but they put the plants direct;y into the ground. Then they erect a metal frame and cover them with a sort of netting, probably to protect them from birds and to provide less intense sunlight. It will be interesting to watch the progress of this crop. Spiritwoman ^i^

Definitely. I don't think burning plastic will go over well. Spiritwoman ^i^

Once it becomes legal in more places it will become just another crop. I am sure it's legality will spread now that a couple of states have proved how much tax money the government is missing out on. Spiritwoman ^i^

Around here with a perfect growing climate (just add water) the clandestine grows have been out there for many years. We had a family friend who was into extreme mountain biking. He he went on one of those off those extreme off the road rides and found himself facing down the rifles of the "proctors" of one such crop. You are wise to avoid the area. At the very least all of the activity will disrupt the tranquility you go hiking to achieve. Spiritwoman ^i^

Just spent a few days in Washington. It's sold openly there, with no pretense that it's medicinal as in Canada. They even have specials advertised outside the store.
