The Humboldt Chronicles - How Much Money?
KHUM, Radio Without the Rules / Thursday, Feb. 9, 2012 @ 2:38 p.m.
Whether you know it or not, everyone on the north coast is affected by marijuana.
Weed has played a major role in Humboldt's culture, politics, social structure and economy, and it's emerging from the subculture faster than ever before.
We're excited to launch a long-term series called "The Humboldt Chronicles: Dispatches from Marijuana Country."
Producers Kym Kemp, Chuck Rogers, and Mike Dronkers hosted a post-show call-in forum.
The first episode explores the macroeconomics of marijuana in Humboldt County. As one business owner told us, we're all in the marijuana business whether we like it or not.
- How much money are we talking about here? Thousands? Billions?
- How does that money fan out into the community?
- What determines the wholesale value of marijuana?
