Keyes is located between Modesto and Turlock on Highway 99. My great grandparents lived in a labor camp there back in the 30s when they did the Dust Bowl thing from Oklahoma.
It's always been a shithole as far back as I can remember.
Wait a minute ... Kenny, you're 62 yrs. Your parents would've been children in the '30s. It seems you mean your grandparents. Since you from Okie stock, if it is in fact your g-grandparents, then wouldn't that mean they came to CA when well into middle-age?

'illegally processed'. I reckon now that the state has 'legalized' possession, this means the violation is processing by 'unofficial' means, i.e., not govt-sanctioned. See kids, nothing has changed. Govt doesn't like the competition.
Nope, my mother was born in Modesto CA in 1940. She was almost 19 when she had me in 1959. Her grandparents and their teen and adult children came to California in the mid 1930s.
DeleteYou ever see what a grow looks like after they harvest? Just the smell of shit left behind can tell you where it is half a mile away. They steal water, steal power, steal chemicals, steal equipment, and leave a holy mess when they leave. It's cheaper to let the gub'mint grow it than it is to pay for it's cleanup.
DeleteEugene, Oregon.
DeleteWarehouse space is impossible to find, taken by indoor growers.

Nobody can conceal a marihuana grow... it stinks like a herd of roadkill skunk.
Skunk.
SKUNK.
My earliest memory of the area was when I was three. We went to Turlock to celebrate my great grandmother's 100th birthday. She was one seriously old woman and hardly interested in me at all, but I remember looking out the car windows at Turlock. Ugh. There were hundreds of us at that birthday party and maybe no one else in "town". Dairymen. It was a sort of shit hole even then, but not the kind it is now.
ReplyDeleteEven when I lived in Modesto I wondered what people saw in Turlock.
DeleteCorrection; gvernment illegally seizes 7,000 pounds of private property.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: Government seizes 7000 pounds of cartel property.
DeleteNo...! Your so called government seized/stole 7000 pounds of someone's private property!!!
DeleteHow do you not get that/this???
You abhor the idea of FedGov gun confiscation, but yet support FedGov confiscation of cannabis? WTF???
We get it Ken. You are not into weed. But don't demonize/ostracize a majority of your readers with your bias!
Wrong. If it was 7000 pounds of weed, there's no doubt it belonged to a Mexican cartel, a criminal organization that has murdered thousands of people, not some individual.
DeleteYou apparently don't know a thing about me judging by your last statement. I smoked dope from the time I was 14 years old, averaging a good ounce a week, until I moved here, and I'd still be smoking it if it wasn't so damned expensive and hard to find in my area. And yes, I support full legalization.
Wirecutter is right. A grow that size in that location? That's Mexican Cartel Weed, and that area, as another commenter above said, is now basically a hazmat site from all the chemicals and garbage that's been used to grow the weed.
DeleteI never understood all the leftist idiots who insist on 'organic' this and 'organic' that but also smoke meth or heroin and Cartel weed, while protesting the tobacco industry. Cognitive dissonance much?
Exactly, Beans. People that have never seen the aftermath of a cartel grow can't imagine the mess it makes.
DeleteAnd since it was "cartel weed" rather than a private grow, somebody got a whole lot of 'splainin' to do to the cartel.
DeleteEugene, Oregon.
DeleteHoping to maintain certification for discerning puffers, many indoor growers use Neem oil as an insecticide.
.
And they developed tumors and seizures and brain lesions.
.
No word from discerning puffets about the results of inhaling concentrated burning Neem oil.
Hell, when I was teen in Broward County Florida (still in high school) I lived by myself in a stash house. They once had me sit on 3000 lbs. for over two weeks. I didn't realize at the time time how f@cking dangerous that was. The Cubans were scary.
