Marijuana Inc.

sounds like an amateur version of the hit show "weeds"

Some of these grows make weeds look like a container garden. One guy said he was spending $500,000 a week getting new cars, boats, trucks and stashhouses. He actually hired a professional research firm to find out which points were the most protected and least protected to smuggle through.

It sounds like even in Northern California there is conflict between state and federal laws. It's not clear to me what is going on with all the growers in Mendocino. As far as I can tell, it's not legal to grow anything more than for personal use.

States such as California and Oregon are more "mature" than in Canada when it comes to personal marijuana use. There is nothing at all legal about any kind of recreational consumption in Canada.

Medicinal marijiana is legal in Canada to a certain extent, you are allowed to possess a 30 day supply, and that supply is determined by your doctor. People carry licences which should keep them free of harrasment. I have seen people smoking on bar patios who say they can do it because of their license.

In any event there is a lot of red tape, and if you want medicinal marijuana legally you have to get it from the feds, or you can buy seeds from the feds. If you are interested in reading about medicinal marijuana in Canada, here is a link.

Didn't click the link but marijuana is definitely an industry here. 50 years ago towns like Willits, Humboldt, Ukiah werre nothing but now have thriving economies built solely upon weed. It's nuts, it'll be interesting to see. A kid I know picked up SEVEN POUNDS yesterday, nuts.
