The Emerald Triangle
The Emerald Triangle refers to a region in Northern California, specifically Mendocino, Humboldt, and Trinity Counties, known for its significant cannabis cultivation. This area has a long history of marijuana production, particularly during the 1960s and 70s counterculture movements. The region's ideal climate and terrain contribute to the growth of high-quality cannabis. Even after legalization of recreational marijuana in California, the Emerald Triangle remains influential in the cannabis industry, balancing traditional farming practices with modern regulations. It is often associated with both the cultural legacy of cannabis and ongoing debates about agriculture, economy, and environmental impact.
