I spend a lot of time in marijuana chat rooms. Reading them helps me keep up with attitudes towards growers. Growers of the Emerald Triangle are losing the battle for brand loyalty to Oaksterdam.  The day after 19 failed the rooms are full of comments like the one below from the mainstream Huffington post.

“Lets grab machetes and head up to Humboldt… Humboldt, your little community just pissed off a ton of people who are sick of paying your inflated crop prices!”

Growers, you need a lobbyist and an advertising company…You need to take some lessons from the corporate world or the corporate world will destroy you and the economy of this county.
