Silent Storm: The Lack of Information on Fish and Wildlife Marijuana Raids in Humboldt County (opinion)

Editor’s note: We are republishing here an opinion column written by the editor of our sister paper, Kym Kemp at Redheaded Blackbelt. Have you spotted the California Department of Fish & Wildlife conducting cannabis enforcement this year? We’ve spoke to a  few people who have — if you have a story to share, give us a call or get in touch at tips@mendovoice.com.

A silent storm has whirled through Humboldt County this summer. It has sucked up plants, property, and cash as well as occasionally led to arrests. We’d like to think this storm actually protected the environment but we don’t know because the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the agency that led the storm, refuses to answer questions.
