A San Francisco-based blogger for Fox News (“Fair and balanced … because we say so.”) offers this snippet of wisdom about Hayfork, a rural town in Trinity County.
“Tucked amid the vast forestland of Northern California’s Trinity County, the small town of Hayfork is – literally – going to pot…with marijuana being smoked, grown and sold more than ever before,” Claudia Cowan writes in a piece that lacks sourcing beyond the local school superintendent. The same source was quoted in this L.A. Times blog post from November; the “pot paradise” label comes from a High Times piece on Trinity County.
Cowan continues: “Legal cannabis cultivation has become Hayfork’s #1 industry. Sophisticated growing operations — both indoors and outside — are flourishing, thanks to the region’s climate, cheap real estate, and local laws allowing medical marijuana farming and possession.”
The same could be said, of course, about Arcata and many other small towns in Northern California. But it’s better (and dare we say, more fair and balanced) when town residents say it instead of bloggers rehashing old news.
