Every weekend in Arcata, people work to restore and improve our creeks. Then someone comes along and dumps chemical-saturated soil, trim, root balls etc. on those waterways. How about we open up your yard and vegetable garden as a used soil dump site, Freedom Lover 1776? After all, it’s just “a little dirt,” right? That OK with you?

Oh my gosh, lets everybody freak out over a little dirt?? Are you people serious?? There are way more egregious destructions of our environment going on. Why don’t we worry more about GMO corn pollen infecting all of the worlds corn, or GMO salmon polluting our streams destroying natural fisheries. No instead everyone cries about a little dirt?? Much more fertilizer chemicals are coming from peoples grassy lawns. Get real and think for once.

Nnnnkay…re; the above comment, whatever. Go “hickin” on some soft dirt. How appropriately misspelled is that? Perfectly accentuated what you seemed to be trying to communicate.. I think. But Jane, that is eloquently put. Really good point(s). It is real easy to maintain a clean, thought out grow. Idiots and greedy slobs are giving the plant a real bad name with the powers that be. Couple that with unnecessary crime, violence, & also the fact that CA. blew everything waaay out of proportion (use marijuana to save our economy! Well, yeah. Do that, but shut up about it please, duh..) thereby attracting the full attention of the “FEDS”, which is unfortunate as hell in timing because it is a vicious election year.. yata yata. Grow your own. Share. Keep your good people circle tight. Marijuana is an incredible plant and medicine. The best one. I hope these people don’t ruin it for the rest.

What an ass to just drive up to Redwood park and dump your dirt. It’s in clear sight! Your lack of digression make me want to slap you in the face. How the hell is marijuana going to get any respect around here if stupid idiots like yourself just drive up to a PUBLIC PARK and dump MARIJUANA DIRT?? Whoever dumped their dirt there knew what they were doing and knew what the scene looked like when they left it. I just can’t believe that someone living in Humboldt County, as green and beautiful as it is, has such little respect for the place that makes them money. If you smoke dope YOUR EXPECTED TO CARE A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE EARTH! That’s the whole methodology behind the plant, idiot.

I feel as though this is an unfortunate side effect of the “gold rush” nature of marijuana in California. People are trying to make a quick buck, not really committed to the industry or it’s impact on the communities.
It’s going to suck economically when the boom turns to bust. But I’m hopeful that a little bubble bursting will foster a more responsible industry.
I appreciate the Eye continuing to report on these impacts. They are shockingly common!

Dearest growers, give me your extra dirt. I can use it for my garden. Really though.

Yes, that and not indiscriminately dumping waste around the landscape.

Public outreach is needed here. The “grow it in the sun” & “diesel dope is pollution pot” propaganda that has been spreading through our community over the past five years has really changed public opinion and practice for the better. The same is needed here. This is an ur regulated and in accounted industry that is difficult to manage and control, suggestions On environmentally friend water conservation techniques and responsible grading suggestions are our best bet here.
