Something we have to put up with here in S. Oregon...Illegal Marijuana Grows... people here from all over the nation and the world, with illegal grows... and making a fortune... Economy would be on its ass if it wasn't for the marijuana grows... but in the meantime it is destroying local resources, such as water... People wonder why some of us have a hate for dope and dopers... Here's why: [video:vimeo] https://kobi5.com/news/local-news/so-oregon-black-market-marijuana-is-big-on-east-coast-194425/[/video]

After an adult career of being a LEO I generally hate dopers, especially marijuana dopers and it's easy to see what they are doing to America on several levels.

Pot is legal in WA state.
I don't know any conservative pot smokers.
One 42 year old ex Google software engineer [read fixed for life] told me to go to a pot store in Bellevue and they would have a particular pot to cure any disease.

Legal to grow in Va now. Street price dropped 50% the first year. Apparently lots of people growing and giving it away. I haven’t noticed any crazy societal swings due to it yet. I don’t know anyone that didn’t smoke it before but is now because it’s legal now.
The war on drugs the way it’s been fought for the last half century has been a total waste of money and has probably helped create more crime than hinder it.

It's illegal here in Idaho. However, we're only 40 miles from the NV border and a drive-thru pot shop. Business is booming. Likewise, Boise is 50 miles from the OR border and Coeur d'alene is 25 miles from WA. A lot of pot comes across the borders.

Seafire, it's hard to say which is worse, Josephine Co old time 4th generation growers or Siskiyou County's Hmong farmers. We had over 6,000 Cambodians move in here in less than 2 years, using cartel cash they bought up every parcel and rural home. 1/8 of the county population is now Hmong. Trying to get some control over this wild west boom town chaos has bankrupted our county's law enforcement and public health. The system is completely overwhelmed. So far, they are just murdering each other and leaving the locals alone, but they flout every law, from poaching to pedophilia. Because of Calif laws, every single legal action requires the Hmong to have an interpreter at county expense, and of course every legal action has blowback from Hmong activists screaming racism, which involves a whole new court case and appeals. It's a trainwreck. The way I see it, only way out is for big corporate agriculture to get involved and grow so much, so cheaply, that it destroys the market.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

From the article:
"We've been seeing a lot of water theft, a lot of burning of garbage, people living in trailers, disseminating in creeks."
I'd be pissed if they were disseminating in my creeks too.

I would be very leery of any news story by NBC news.
An old high school buddy grew pot illegally in N. Calif and when they legalized it he jumped through the hoops to become a legal grower.
Well the bottom fell out price wise of the market and he has filed bankruptcy and is sitting on over a 100lbs of weed he cannot sell.
Everybody and their brother is growing and giving it away to friends.
That being said illegal pot growers are the scourge of the backcountry in Oregon & Calif.
I am no longer close to my old high school buddy because he is a grower, even though it's on his land and he is conscientious of the environment.

All the illegal grows around here are in houses. Lots of them in nice neighborhoods.

Everybody seemingly in WA grew it or knew closely someone who did. Under cut the pot shops, pot shops drop prices, and now weed is cheap as hell.
Haven’t looked at SC laws, but I’m guessing it’s still illegal here, given that I haven’t passed a 100 weed shops everyday.
