A<\/span>dventurous Netherlands photographer Steef Fleur ventured into the heart of Northern California with a camera and an ambitious plan to capture the experience of cultivating hidden cannabis farms for the book \u201cHumboldt \u2013 Green Gold USA.\u201d Within the thick of the woods, she uncovered clandestine cabins, towering plants with dense, bulging colas and an entire culture centered on peacefully growing a federally illegal plant as a source of medicine.<\/p>\n The seemingly secluded forest of soaring redwood trees houses a community that depends on the farmers to religiously produce world-class buds every harvest without fail. Journalist Martin van de Velde explores this rural lifestyle to tell a story of dedicated, independent cultivators who continue to shape the infamous narrative of a region responsible for supplying cannabis throughout and beyond the Golden State to the East Coast \u2013 decades before the Green Rush hit the rest America. As the political landscape rapidly shifts throughout the state, it\u2019s exciting to see a cultural staple still thriving with the pounds and pounds of perfectly-trimmed buds to prove it.<\/p>\n The history books may formally indicate that the California Gold Rush \u2013 that violent and lucrative period of time when settlers flocked to the coastal state in hopes of finding gilded treasure \u2013 took place in the 19th century, but many others will remember the era of cannabis cultivation in the Emerald Triangle<\/a> as the real gold mine.<\/p>\n Originally published in Issue 19<\/a> of Cannabis Now. <\/em>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n TELL US, <\/strong>have you been to the legendary Humboldt County before?<\/p>\n The post Capturing Cannabis<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n
