Been under the weather for the last several days and I found this fascinating tour through Humboldt California with a local beef rancher, organic farmer, musician, weed grower, and ex-con.
California is a beautiful state full of fascinating and wonderful people. It's not all SF & LA.
A close friend grew up there. It's a beautiful part of the state/country.
It sure is.
I don't know if it's true but I was left with the impression they grow some of the best outdoor weed in the world. When I was growing up, Humboldt was notorious for weed and pot smokers aspired to go to their CSU. It was like the Napa Valley of weed. It might still be.
I can attest to that; when I was smoking pot in my teens I remember my buddy had a med card but we still got better weed from a homie in Humboldt than from the dispensaries.
Best beaches in the state imo, but hard to get to.
Here are 12 details of California that are very interesting:

There is immense beauty and wonderful people in SF and LA as well. The news and political narratives really deserve to be taken down a notch. In such a vast and complex world you basically get what you are searching for.
