Someday I'll write a Marxian analysis of the marijuana industry of Mendocino County. When I first started thinking about the project I was conceiving it as a kind of romantic tale of "social banditry" al al Eric Hobsbawm (Primitive Rebels, 1965). But it may turn out to be more of a boom and bust tragedy - not so unlike other tales of agricultural communities ravaged by the boom and bust nature of the capitialist business cylcle.
Here are a couple recent reports.
