  26. chunks Infante on June 5, 2022 at 1:49 am

    White privilege



  27. Spin City NYC on June 5, 2022 at 1:50 am

    More evidence that the war on drugs was misguided and misdirected. The inner cities don’t produce the drugs, yet they always find their way to us along with the cops. Damn shame since it is such a peaceful relaxing drug. Alcohol and cigarettes has done way more damage to our society than cannabis



  28. Paleo Geology on June 5, 2022 at 1:51 am

    The reason the Librats dont want the illegals gone is they would lose their slave labor force. You dont honestly think your gonna see some hipster in his romper and man bun out in the fields picking his own lettuce do ya?



  29. Shaula Hernandez on June 5, 2022 at 1:53 am

    How do I start trimming



  30. Molly P on June 5, 2022 at 1:56 am

    And if you steal or are thought to steal- bullet to your head. No one knows you’re there and that’s how a lot of our missing end up missing. They aren’t from here, they hear that they can make money playing with weed. It’s not a game, it might have been at one time. We have cartels and we have legal operations. It’s your choice.



  31. shawn jackett on June 5, 2022 at 1:56 am

    i live in humboldt and definitely true



  44. Keenan Brooks on June 5, 2022 at 2:12 am

    I would love to become a trimmer….That’s awesome that they are giving people opportunities to make so much money in such a short time to be able so support their lives. This is really good for ambitious college students who want to just focus on school and not have to worry about finances. Keep it up because this is fuckin genius🔥



  45. Doryan TheCritic on June 5, 2022 at 2:14 am

    Here in Northern California, any Mexican with a B1/B2 tourist visa can buy a car, get insurance and a driver’s license, work illegally, and not even pay taxes. They can earn around $500 per day trimming marijuana plants in places like Gold Run, Monte Vista, Dutch Flat, Alta, Baxter, Grass Canyon, Nevada City, and all around the vicinity.

    I have been reporting this with ICE for over a year, but nothing gets done.



  46. lucc on June 5, 2022 at 2:16 am

    anyone who has a plug to let me work as a trimmer in humboldt pleeeeeeeeeasseeeee



  47. SBELLM11 on June 5, 2022 at 2:19 am

    PRO 420 scissors are great for trimming, teflon coated and super sharp and fast. Check them out at http://www.pro420.com



  48. Miguelito on June 5, 2022 at 2:20 am
