Dixieland

[Omerta 10]

The Southern states are unique because of culture and geography. In recent years cannabis cultivation, both indoors and out, has rivaled the mega crops on the west cost. In 2012, over 500,000 cannabis plants were seized from one farm in rural Obion county in Tennessee, it was the biggest bust in the nation that year. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia have long histories with cannabis and are at the tip top when it comes to domestic production..

500 000 plants must have been a nice field

Thanks dust. And yes. It was a very nice field. Snitched out by a trespassing hunter.

Aloha, Why should anyone risk getting busted in the most politically backward area of the USA? The way I see it is two thumbs down on Dixie & two thumbs up for Washington, Colorado, California, Oregon, and Hawaii.

Maybe it's because you don't understand how things work in this part of the country,OM. I grew up in the Tug Valley that seperates WV and Kentucky. That region was settled by Europeans in the late 1700's and their decendants are the majority of the population. Most of these families are either interrelated or have interacted with each for over 200 years.

Weed growing there has history going back to the early/mid 60's. Other than coal,it's been the driver of the local economies of most of the small lightly populated counties of the region since the 70's.

Now add in the factor that the county sheriffs, judges, and prosecuting attorney are locals, and more importantly, elected. If you prosecute a local in county court for growing weed to pay the bills, you're going to piss off most of his family and friends. A couple of hundred votes can turn an election in a small sparsely populated county. It's generally not worth the political risk to bust locals, especially ones that have large extended families.

Therefore LEO tends to ignore or chop most of the small patches it finds and investigate the larger ones. If the grower is a local, it's generally going to get chopped without charges ever being filed. If you're an outsider, or worse, a Yankee who came into the area to grow a crop and you're caught, it's off to jail with you.

That my friend, is why Southern growers tend to stay put. Plus, the weed grown here packs a wallop that those West Coast guys can only dream of.

Radiation levels are higher on the west coast now from the tsunami fallout. Remember California's old state motto, go there on vacation come home on probation. Half of peace sign to this half legalization.

It's said that wild cannabis still grows in places in Kentucky even after the government tried to eradicate it long ago, so you know it's tough!

So if you're looking for land races, Kentucky would damn sure be a good place to go. The thing is tho, that in this country it's all about who you know.

Growers don't typically advertise themselves given the nature of the beast, but I'm sure a few would come out for the hunters!

Tennesee also had a few strains out there in the world in Tennessee Purple, The Hog, and Hogsbreath.

The mountain of North Carolina is right there as well. Cities like Asheville and Boone in North Carolina probably have more growers that legal states..

Not to mention that the legal vote would have passed state legislature had they're not killed it prior to.

Texas has the heavenly funky shoreline!

Gerogia is a direct pipeline from Cali, so you know theres gotta be something there as well! Don't know for sure, but I'm sure about TN,NC, and KY and TX.

If you are gonna come out the to US, you can't just stop with one state.

You come to take a tour! You do everything BIGGER over here!

You just do it quietly! @OldMarine, it's still federally illegal everywhere, so it's illegal where ever you go.

But since when has that EVER stopped the strain hunters from doing what they do?
