      It’s been on the decline since 2014 or so but was still manageable.

      People were still able to provide for the their family and buy homes and land until about 2020. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to think about all the families in NorCal that went from decent/meager lives to now broken, hungry and desperate.

        Yeah, know a guy that was lives in the emerald triangle that has been a grower as an occupation for all of his adult life and was put out of business a few years back after a company bought a large piece of land upstream from the canal he got all of his water to do mass cultivation and there’s nothing left for his property now.

        It was always frustrating seeing the people who lived in these MJ boomtowns who opposed it, I really questioned if any of them realized how much of the wealth flowing into their town was gonna be cut off as soon as it all ended. Makes me wanna visit some of the locations I worked in now, but I don’t have a lot of reason to drive out these days lol
