PanoptiDon,

Humboldt county is wildly mislabeled

PanoptiDon,

That’s a great improvement, but there is nothing upscale about this region

friend_of_satan,

Being colorblind sucks.

Donjuanme,

I know a secret spot in the green of that map (not in the top half) where houses are less than 500k. But your children will kill themselves (driving) trying to get away from it (literally at least once a year while I was growing up), because it’s so damn boring.

Since I left I’ve heard it’s only gotten worse. The definition of agriculture/commuter town. It didn’t have to be that way but an explosion in the 80s on the other side of the country destroyed it’s hopes for prosperity.

BilboBargains,

Meth you say?

Venat0r,

Surely there’s also meth in the coastal area too.

Wooshock,

Learn to swim

…in meth.

FlickOfTheBean,

That blue color on the map? Believe it or not, liquid meth

No mention of cannabis lol

The Venn diagram of places with cannabis use and places in the US is a circle my friend

I agree completely, but I was referring to places it’s grown. Not many states have the climate to grow outdoors.

I was thinking places like Humboldt :)

Rodeo,

I live in Canada and I grow it outdoors.

It doesn’t require desert weather.

scottywh,

Grows fine outdoors in Colorado… And Georgia… And Florida… Or so I’ve “heard

Humboldt is great but even places like Sac can grow amazing weed

My neighbors growing up grew huge, amazing plants for a couple years, would give my parents a ton for help trimming n caring for em while they were at work or on vacation or shit like that

The only places I’ve been in CA I haven’t caught either a grow op or someone growing a personal or two were all in the mountains and in the winter

I even knew a guy who lived near death valley that grew some outdoors, but never got to try it

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

It’s everywhere

Now that it’s legal, it’s not really regional to in and around Humboldt County; there are weed farms in the central valley now. Also, meth is stronger and much more present outside the green strip.

Anticorp,

Most of that yellow strip is the Sierra Nevada mountains.

conditional_soup,

Ergo, national parks and meth. Also illegal weed grows.

Anticorp,

My friend and I stumbled across a pot farm once while riding dual sports on fire roads up in those mountains. This was back when marijuana was still illegal. We got the fuck out of there as quickly as we could.

conditional_soup,

Smart move. Those guys have a reputation for not fucking around or being the best neighbors.

That’s because it’s IN the nutshell

Very subtle, but I think you turned SF and Oakland red?

Anticorp,

What was changed?

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Zoom in on the Bay Area

Anticorp,

Dang. Is the bay area overrun with meth now? San Francisco used to be such an amazing city.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

I think it’s heroin and crack moreso than meth but yeah, it’s not pretty

PersnickityPenguin,

Supposedly everything is now contaminated with fentanyl.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

Also, everything in California causes cancer.

alquicksilver,
@alquicksilver@lemmy.world avatar

Indeed. I moved away from the SF Bay Area, then came back after a decade and (parts of) SF/Oakland are, unfortunately, even more run down than I remember. There was always a large homeless population here but there seems to be way more aggressive folks out there now, high on something or other.

stallmer,

To be fair though, the meth-land of California is pretty beautiful.

paysrenttobirds,

Yes, the yellow is the good part and you don’t even have to be driving anywhere in particular

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

More like, the beautiful part is in the yellow part. But a lot of it is really just desert with nothing much to see, hence also meth.

paysrenttobirds,

I like the desert :)

conditional_soup,

I live in the red part, and I’m sorry to hear about your concussion leaving you this confused.

OmenAtom,

Dont let these clods fool you, pretty much every part of this map has its beautiful spots. You would have to be blind not to get a great view at the top or even side of a mountain
