How Green Is Your Pot?
A new collective is trying to sell sustainable, organically grown
marijuana, but patients are hooked on indoor weed that wastes energy and
pollutes the planet.

Dope Hits the Fan
.
Following the legalization of pot cultivation for medical purposes in
California in 1996, Humboldt County saw a 25 percent rise in per-capita
residential electricity use in comparison to the rest of California,
according to data compiled by Humboldt State University.
.
Perhaps even bigger than Humboldts newfound thirst for grid power was its
diesel dope scene: thousands of plants, sometimes grown in buried shipping
containers and fed by diesel-fired generators, the kind used for hospitals
in emergencies. Entire creeks buzzed at night, Kemp said, shattering the
regions famed serenity. Some local owls can no longer hunt because the
loud generators destroy their ability to stalk nighttime prey.
.
But a tipping point came in May 2008, following the now-infamous Hacker
Creek diesel spill. Renters on a Humboldt dope-growing property were
trying to transfer diesel from a big tank to a smaller tank and spilled
about six hundred gallons of diesel fuel into Hacker Creek, killing nearly
everything in its path.
.
Neighbors called the cops, who fined the landlord and ordered a clean-up,
Kemp said. It was said to be the third spill in that location. Land that
was the next step away from pristine had become as toxic as a superfund
site. No insects buzzed, and the air reeked of diesel and caused
headaches.
.
That was the only one Ive ever personally witnessed, although the stories
are that big growers dont tend to share these things; I mean, neighbors
arent really excited if they find out you poured diesel in the ground,
Kemp said. Still, it happens all the time, she added.
.
Top-notch, organically grown pot smells, tastes and feels better, purists
say. Its much like the difference between an industrially farmed tomato
from Safeway and an organic tomato from the farmers market, Kemp said.
Everybody knows a tomato from a farmers marketit tastes so wonderful.
Thats the difference that I see happening with medical marijuana. Of
course, theres good indoor, but as a whole you get healthier plants that
are better for your body with outdoor. God, its just beautiful.
