There’s a “murder mountain” up in Humboldt [famous for their devil’s flower] where druggies find work at marijuana grow sites. Many, many people, mostly young white druggies, go missing while on the job. The legalization of pot in CA has not done anything to stem the violence - easy to grow, easy to steal, profit margins in the hundreds of percent, and the cops are not terribly interested / don’t want to be convicted for doing their jobs. Huge black markets + easily stolen valuable product = crime.
“Many, many people, mostly young white druggies, go missing while on the job.”
Thieves are shot dead.
Or they shoot others dead for the product.
