In Humboldt County, California they say that the last hippy died when marijuana began to fetch more than a $1,000 a pound. If that is true, Tuesday’s vote to legalize adult recreational cannabis use in the state might be the final nail in the flower-power coffin. Most of the local growers, who some might think stand to gain the most from their businesses becoming legal, are either skeptical or completely against the new legislation. They expect it to bring huge price drops as well as big newcomers that will force Humboldt’s small farmers out.
