Jesse Carroll and the High Country Growers Association are fighting for the right to grow cannabis outdoors in Riverside County. Currently, the county only wants to allow indoor cultivation, despite the fact that there is a well established outdoor cultivation community that has been growing for decades and creating billions of dollars of economic value for the region.
If outdoor cultivation is banned in the mountains and valleys of Riverside County, legacy growers lose the opportunity to create an appellation around their unique cultivation environment, which in a future national and global cannabis economy, is a powerful marketing tool to distinguish your product.
Wine has Napa, Bordeaux, Champagne, Sonoma, Burgandy, Mendoza, Alsace, Rioja, etc.
Instead, High Country Growers watch as neighboring Desert Hot Springs indoor grows financed by people who never smoked weed before pump out mediocre, undifferentiated cannabis using tons of electricity from the grid.
Come to your senses Riverside County board of supervisors and policy makers.
