"No marijuana accepted". Sign on the fence at the Redway dump in Southern Humboldt County.

Not only can you not give weed away, in Humboldt County you can't even throw it away.

@Mikal that's kind of hilarious. Makes me really curious about the inciting incident that is responsible for that sign!

@esnyder

It's directed toward things like old trim, dead plants after harvest, things like that. I remember back a decade ago, the guys there would rip open likely bags and scavenge for small buds not worth trimming. I really don't know why they care anymore.

Here's the twist: licensed cannabis businesses in CA have to have a cannabis waste disposal plan. If you're in indoor farm or processor, you can't really just compost it out in the garden, so you're supposed to have a weight certificate from a licensed disposal facility proving you didn't...IDK, sell it to kids or something. Well, this is the only licensed dump for the whole area!

This is typical of CA cannabis bureaucracy. Catch-22s that don't even make sense in the first place.

@Mikal sometimes, when I remember helicopter flyovers looking for grows as a kid, I'm hopeful about change.

Other times I can't believe I'm going to live my entire #&*$#$@ life with our government obsessed with this kind of ridiculous bullshit.

@esnyder

I'm in the legal weed business in CA (nursery). I've given up all hope. The bureaucracy is too entrenched. They've replaced helicopters and cops with cubicle-dwellers on state salaries with benefits. It's hopeless. I'm looking for my exit from this stupidity. It's just no fun anymore.
