Sundial - Red Bluff California's first weed dispensary is finally opening

Red Bluff, Calif.- Cannabis, weed, marijuana, kush- whatever your name for it is.. it'll be available in Red Bluff Saturday, December 3rd.

Action News Now spoke with the owner, Laythen Martinez about why he chose Red Bluff for Sundial Collective's third location.

"There's an underserved population of people in Red Bluff that go to Redding for Cannabis. You know there's nowhere from Sacramento to Redding that sell legal cannabis," Martinez said.

He said they were seeing about 125 requests for deliveries to Red Bluff every day, "Red Bluff should have it, they should be making the revenue on what we're already selling here, and it's a legal mature market. You know it's not a bad thing."

Martinez said he thinks more people will become comfortable with the idea of legal cannabis over time.

"The overwhelming majority of people want it here, either for tax revenues or having safe access to cannabis," he said.

Red Bluff local, Omar Carrillo says he welcomes cannabis in his community.

"Keeping The Tradition Of Real California Cannabis Alive

Redding, Ca"

The Real Story of Humboldt California's ‘Murder Mountain’

 

"A scenic stretch of northern California wilderness is where 60 percent of marijuana is grown in the United States, and it's known as “Murder Mountain.” It’s not the climate or the soil that draws farmers to the area but the isolation. Humboldt County also has the highest rate of missing persons cases in the state, which is how it has become ground zero for danger in the cannabis industry."

"Humboldt County, California is infamously known as Murder Mountain.  It's the largest marijuana-producing county in the country, but it has a dark history and seedy underbelly, rampant with homicides and disappearances.  Five women have become the face of those gone missing, and they are known as the Humboldt Five.

In 1992, Jennifer Wilmer was the first to vanish.  She moved from Long Island and planned to enroll in classes, but the semester was already in-progress.  She began to waitress, but she quickly lost her job.  She relied in part on welfare as she struggled to get on her feet.  She moved to Trinity County with her boyfriend.  She left to hitchhike to nearby farm in September of 1993, and she was never seen again.

In 1997, Karen Mitchell disappeared in November.  She had moved to the area to live with her aunt, as she struggled to share a home with her birth mother.  They remained in close contact and planned to attend some college courses together.  Mitchell visited her aunt's shoe store in Bayshore Mall, then left for a shift at a local daycare.  Eye witness reports claim to have seen her entering a '76-'78 blue Sedan with a man who closely resembled Robert Durst.  Credit records put him in the area at this time, and he's known to have killed several other women.

Christine Walters was the third to disappear.  She vanished in 2008, a 23 year-old Wisconsin native.  She moved to the area on a whim, smitten by local New-Age and shamanistic neophytes.  She participated in a local ritual involving the psychedelic ayahuasca, which may have led to a separation from reality.  Late one night, she emerged from the woods, naked and covered in scratches, and she appeared on the doorstep of a nearby home.  Walters claimed she had been pursued, but she wouldn't reveal by whom.  After being hospitalized, she went to a local copy center to retrieve important documents for new identification.  She was last seen walking toward the DMV, disoriented and still wearing her pajamas.

In 2014, Sheila Franks disappeared from Eureka, California seven days before Danielle Bertolini.  James Eugene Jones was the last person to see her, and he claimed that she left for a walk at 8 AM and never returned.  Partial remains were discovered in a nearby waterway.

Danielle Bertolini also disappeared in 2014.  She moved from Maine to Humboldt County in 2010 after a difficult health complication.  She turned to drugs to cope with her trauma, and she fell in with the wrong crowd.  Late one night she called for a ride from the Swain's Flat area; she was picked up by James Eugene Jones, and she was never seen again.

Are these cases connected to one perpetrator, praying on these disadvantaged women for decades, or is this a result of the criminal elements in the community of Humboldt County?"

Humboldt cannabis farmers campaign for Measure S tax relief

 

Supervisor Michelle Bushnell

HUMBOLDT – A campaign to suspend Humboldt County’s cannabis excise tax is underway and a member of the Board of Supervisors has said the request is already being actively discussed.

In a press release, the Suspend Measure S campaign asks the county to “forgive” the October 2021 excise tax payment, “waive” the next payment due in March and to suspend the tax for a year following that.

During the suspension, the campaign asks that a “new equitable and fair tax” be devised.

The county has recognized that the local cannabis industry is struggling amid unfavorable market conditions. Last October’s tax payment has been deferred to the end of May and additional grant opportunities have been added to the county’s Project Trellis assistance program.

But cannabis farmers say they’re close to the edge of insolvency.

When the Board of Supervisors discussed cannabis regulation issues at their Jan. 11 meeting, cannabis farm owner and consultant Mika Cook said the county’s longstanding cannabis farming tradition is facing an existential threat.

“It seems really scary right now with the state of the industry as it is because we might not survive – it feels like we are in an extinction event, period,” she said. “And if we, as small farmers who really do care passionately about protecting the environment don’t make it, who’s gonna come in to replace us?”
