A Killing In Cannabis – Scott Eden

The accusations she’d leveled at her previous growers should have served as a warning because now she was leveling them at Rachael. Despite all the girl-power talk, the publisher refused to believe that Rachael hadn’t also skimmed. They agreed to part ways. Hashtag stayed with Rachael. With the publisher out of her life, Rachael definitely wanted to do it again. She had, after all, made far more money that year than she ever had before.

She figured she’d remain in the Burnt Ranch–Hennessy Peak area, but she didn’t want to live on a hill alone again, so she moved out of Portland for good and rented an apartment in Arcata, on the coast in Humboldt County. From Arcata, it was about an hour’s commute to Burnt Ranch, not bad.

Better than shitting in the woods with bears. To find a new landowner to partner with, she hung out during the day at a honky-tonk dive bar that served as the area’s unofficial community center. The first two people she met she did deals with. She had come to believe in the power of manifestation, and here it was happening to her again, the universe answering her call in the form of two bar regulars: a woman in her fifties named Terry who owned a smallish parcel on the banks of a creek that fed the Trinity River, and a man, also in his fifties, who went by the moniker Rasta John.

Terry was a charismatic former singer and was herself extremely handy. She could easily have grown weed on her own, but didn’t want to be “married to the plant,” or “married to the tarp,” didn’t want to commit to the massive amount of physical labor that commercial weed growing required.

Rasta John, a bald white guy from Atlanta, owned seven acres across a canyon from Rachael’s former hermitage on Hennessy Peak. People had started calling him Rasta John because he’d spent time in a Jamaican prison, for what no one really knew. By spring of 2015, Rachael had hired farmhands to do most of the heavy labor while she oversaw the planting, commuting almost daily from Arcata. One of the hands she’d hired was Hank. Even though Racheal no longer lived on the hill, certain dangers remained.

Rasta John’s acreage abutted the immense wilderness of Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Persons of Interest October 1, 2019 here are good trips, and there are bad trips. Some end in feelings of transcendence, others in feelings of madness and doom. Science still doesn’t know why. An entire neurological system, the endocannabinoid system—its name based on the botanical term for a genus of psychotropic plant (Cannabis) first ingested by humans in a time before history—wasn’t discovered until 1988.
