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-

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.
