Murder Mountain
What happens when California dreaming becomes a nightmare? When people head to Humboldt County in search of quick riches in the form of marijuana, often times they are unaware of the price they might ultimately pay in the illegal cannabis growing capital of the United States.

Firstly I would like to start of by saying that this fantastic Netflix original documentary is a MUST WATCH so if you have not checked out episode 1 yet stop what you are doing and GET IT ON NOW!! The series serves as a compelling insight into Humboldt County's black market and outlaw cannabis culture, 'Murder Mountain' explores the regions rich growing history and lifts the lid on real life stories of missing bud trimmers.
I like many others in this industry dream of a time when we will be able to grow our favourite plant in peace and without the fear of arrest, here in the UK we are still miles behind the rest of the world in terms of legalization so watching something like this really brings it home that even with emerging legal regulated markets like they have in the US there are still major problems that society will have to face going into the future. Really enjoying this so will not spoil it for you...at the time of writing I am currently on episode 3 so will update this post with my final thoughts at a later date...THE HUMBOLDT HIPPY DREAM IS IN THE PAST ~DGF
