You know how when you travel anywhere and mention you’re from Humboldt how some people give you that snarky, knowing look and put two fingers up to their mouth to smoke that imaginary blunt? Yeah. That’s going to happen to you a lot more.
But why? Well, on Feb. 20, no less than the Discovery Channel will roll out two new shows for what Entertainment Weekly is already calling “Weed Wednesday.” First, at 9 p.m. get ready for Pot Cops. But more importantly, at 10 p.m. load up your bongs for the premiere of Weed Country, a show which promises to “go inside the world of growers and dealers looking to engineer some of the most powerful marijuana on earth and doing their best to keep out of jail.” Hoo, baby.
Weed Country’s trailer features rebellious growers toking up while surveying their crop, counting out large amounts of cash and flipping off law enforcement officials doing helicopter flyovers. Also, some slick graphics of the green literally leaking out of the Emerald Triangle with “HUMBOLDT” prominently featured.
Are you pumped yet? Watch a preview video now over at Entertainment Weekly‘s website.

Good Job Downey, bring more ppl here and make a joke of our town. IDIOTIC
Prohibition has finally run its course: Our prisons are full, our economy is in ruins, the lives and livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans have been destroyed or severely disrupted. What was once a shining beacon of liberty and prosperity has become a toxic, repressive, smoldering heap of hypocrisy and a gross affront to fundamental human decency.
If you sincerely believe that prohibition is a dangerous and counter-productive policy then you can stop helping to enforce it. You are entitled—required even—to act according to your conscience.
We must create what we can no longer afford to wait for and end the most destructive, dysfunctional, dishonest and racist social policy since Slavery.
PLEASE VOTE TO ACQUIT!
Just firebomb the growers with napalm, that’s it. Then the County can take the property for re-sale. That’s it, solved.
The DEA is coming and will make you pay dearly, just wait.
Well just give the Pot Cops what they want… Dons Doughnuts, duh?
MMMMMM……..DONUT…..AAAAAAAHHHHH.

Pot Cops did not air before Weed Country, nor after it. There is no show scheduled with that name set to air last night, or any other night in the future. It must have gotten pulled before it had a chance.
These county sheriff tin-horns with federal War on Drugs money stuffed in their shirts… sure are ferocious looking in their military hardware. A “war-room” in Humboldt County? The only ones waging war are feds with job security issues and local yahoos in helicopters.
