Humboldt County

Is this place really all its cracked up to be? I hear positive and negative about this place and I need to understand what it's like from an actual resident. I know they have a big 420 fest every 4/20. Rumor has it that it is legal to be nude in the Arcata plaza. Well there is a movie about the place coming out in September, here are the previews:

uhhh

 

My dad lives there. I went once and people just smoke weed in the streets. Amazingly beautiful there.

 

- Yes and no, you will love it up there for a certain amount of time no matter what, it is too beautiful. No because after a while you find everyone is on drugs and nothing gets done, unless your growing pot.

The 4/20 fest is kinda unoffical. You can smoke weed in the park, but if you go into the woods to do it they will write you a ticket.

You cant smoke weed downtown in the square anymore, they have camera everywhere. No being nude either, get an indecent exposure, plus it is never that warm up there to want to be running around naked!

You can smoke weed walking down the street there just as easily as you can in SF.

People up there still live by the mantra that weed is illegal, yet you come down to the bay and there are weed stores everywhere. In otherwords, a lot of paranoia.

I saw the Humboldt County Movie, it is not a stoner movie, it has a good story to it. I would recommend watching it. It is based in Garberville/Redway area, which is the Lost Coast, but the ocean shots were filmed up at Moonstone beach which is in Trinidad, CA. Like 1 hr north of Garberville and 5 minutes from Arcata.

If you have InDemand from Comcast you can watch the movie at home right now. Pretty cool huh?

Just watched that Humboldt County movie and personally I was inspired. It has to be one of the best films I have seen in awhile and I love it. As far as Humboldt County in real life...well I have yet to take a trip up there but plan on it soon, perhaps for thanksgiving

 

Back in the 80's, I used to live in Sacramento and we used to go up there and raid the fields and fill up our truck with plants. But then they started to get high tech with cameras and trip lines and all that other stuff. Was a thrill though.

 

Why would you steal someone else's plants...? Thats fucked up and I sure as hell know if I was growin out there and caught you Id pump you full of lead. Show some respect.

 

Hey, that's just what we did back then. I have no remorse for what I did. As for respect, why should I show respect for someone who shows no respect for the law in the first place? Anyway, that was then and this is now.

 

Can't say I agree with you but I won't argue any further.

 

Glad to hear it. I aint lookin for any arguments. This is just what I did. Yeah, I would be pissed if I was the growers, but hey, its every man for themselves. I captured a small amount of what they was growin, and when you are a grower with a large field, you have to expect a few losses, and I was just one of those expectations. In life, you have to take advantage of those situations which present themselves, and I did exactly that. I did it to someone who did wrong in the first place, and while two wrongs dont make a right, it sure makes it easier to deal with consciousness wise.

 

^^^Doesn't seem like you have evolved too much in the last couple of decades if you can still condone and rationalize your theft.
That is not the attitude of a 'hippy'.
I think that you are a Pepublikkkan! An infiltrator!
Stone him!!!

 

*throws a pebble and walks into the woods.*

 

Are you the law?

Does it matter what they do? They did it so you could smoke.

 

K so I should wear a safety jacket now whenever I make it up there?

 

Just don't wander off the path and get lost in the woods.

 

Sounds like a typical 20 year old statement.

 

bitching wont help, a leg full of buckshot will.

living in humboldt is lame, I've lived in the forest, it sucks

lived in town, it sucks

lived in a camper, it's been camped out the local fuzz got shit figured out.

get better weed and trim work in oregon.

 

And I took it so I could smoke. So I didnt pay them for it, so what? Leave your plants unguarded, and someone will steal them. That's the law of the land. If these guys doing the growing dont want me stealing them, then they should add more and more landmines and trip lines, so that any unexpecting fool will get themselves blown up or shot or whatever. Make sure there is a trap everywhere, so even any poor animal that wanders the forest gets killed.

 

drill two holes in a spring rat trap, one big enough to snuggly fit a shot gun shell, placed just so that the trap kicks off the cartridge, and a smaller one next to the trigger you set the cheese on, tie a string to the trigger through the hole, spray paint brown or black, nail to tree, tie string to another tree to make a trip wire.

take a piece of metal tubing with a end cap, solder a small nail onto the underside of the end cap exactly in the middle, bury tube so the open end is flush with the ground, paint a high power rifle round green and drop it in the tube with the primer resting on the nail, with the bullet end sticking out maybe 3/4 of an inch, place a leaf on it for camo, nice simple toe popper.

you can get cheap AK-47's from the Mexican Mob.

wood-chipper's are also good to have around.

if you catch a ripper, don't pussy-foot, kill him before he escapes.

 

And again, remember all the innocent people and all the innocent animals that get killed because some asshole wants to grow pot. And dont forget all the pesticides and the chemicals that they are using that harms the land. Why not steal from the assholes that rape the land and pollute the land and kill innocent people with their traps and kill poor defenseless animals with their traps?
