VIEW OF THE MATTOLE CANYON CREEK DELTA FROM HUMBOLDT SYNCHRONICITREES FARM
A Mini History of Southern Humboldt Community Culture. Part 1 of 6 - The Old Days. written by Aiyana Floreterna Gregori @humboldt_synchronicitrees My name is Aiyana Floreterna Gregori. My upbringing grew rooted, living off the land and preserving the ancient California Wilderness. Exploring beneath the scented branches, I heard the wisdom of the ancients. I'm able to communicate with trees and sing their healing songs. Crafting music, poetry, and stories is what I thrive on. This back to the land community and the culture we have built in one of my true loves. For many years, I have dreamed of telling our story. I wanted to share the vibrance of living in a community closer to the land . I grew up admiring this small group of people changing the world daily.The mother ganja plant to fulfill our basic needs, giving us the time to create a new culture. This tale must reach people’s ears. Recent legalization endangers us. Big money interests slanted the law in their favor from the beginning by eliminating the acre cap to allow license stacking. This gave a green light for market flooding and price dropping to eliminate craft growers. Industrial technology cannot replace culture and quality of craft ganja. Regenerative craft cannabis ensures rich genetic diversity and preserves the hundreds of strains where big cannabis does not. We have seen a significant drop in quality since legalization began. The highest quality herb often does not make it to the dispensaries due to the preference for “well marketed products” appearance. June 2023 Beyond The Goddess 04
