	Some of the county’s more artisanal growing talent envision the
	opposite — an era of unicorns and rainbows in which Humboldt will
	emerge as “the Napa Valley of marijuana,” a tourist mecca for the well-
	heeled bud-and-breakfast set.

	Rather, the issue at stake in the battle over Proposition 19 seems to  
be
	primarily a moral one – that is, should the “victimless crime” of
	marijuana use be treated as a crime at all? This is a subject which has
	a severe generation gap, given the relatively less religious and more
	libertarian character of younger voters, whose increasingly  
iconoclastic
	view of older generations and the moral norms thereof has become a
	massive wild card not just in California politics, but nationally.
