Humboldt County cannabis farmers filed a lawsuit to block a ballot initiative they claim will destroy pot farming in the historic cannabis growing region.
A group of Northern California cannabis farmers has sued the organizers behind a controversial local ballot initiative that would completely rewrite the rules of pot farming in Humboldt County. The farmers claim the measure’s organizers made “clearly false” statements while collecting signatures, and they are asking a judge to block the initiative from being included in a March 2024 election.
Both Watson and Thurmond are named defendants in Wednesday’s lawsuit. The local cannabis industry and the county government previously argued the law would have devastating effects on local farms. The debate over the law has become bitter in the historic cannabis growing region, with opponents calling the measure the “Karen initiative” and describing the organizers as “NIMBYs,” a derogatory term for people who have “not in my backyard” sentiments toward new development.
