  14. Sativa Shiva on October 1, 2021 at 8:16 am

    Realy? I live in palm springs. Making $10 hr paying constantly for livescan and badges.. I’m not making shit. I’m sick of the licenses that are for people working around children, elderly or churches, schools. I’m being punished for wanting to work. I was on welfare needed a livescan and was told no. We will not help you get that job. I’m disgusted that places like Cannadescent who charge top dollar but pay employees shit. Treat them like shit ( promise them work but it’s sporatic). I def want to work where ever these trimmers are.

  23. Paleo Geology on October 1, 2021 at 8:30 am

    The reason the Librats dont want the illegals gone is they would lose their slave labor force. You dont honestly think your gonna see some hipster in his romper and man bun out in the fields picking his own lettuce do ya?



  24. jbaby007 on October 1, 2021 at 8:30 am

  29. Molly P on October 1, 2021 at 8:35 am

    And if you steal or are thought to steal- bullet to your head. No one knows you’re there and that’s how a lot of our missing end up missing. They aren’t from here, they hear that they can make money playing with weed. It’s not a game, it might have been at one time. We have cartels and we have legal operations. It’s your choice.



  30. Palest Native on October 1, 2021 at 8:36 am

  38. Juan Escutia on October 1, 2021 at 8:41 am

    Here in Northern California, any Mexican with a B1/B2 tourist visa can buy a car, get insurance and a driver’s license, work illegally, and not even pay taxes. They can earn around $500 per day trimming marijuana plants in places like Gold Run, Monte Vista, Dutch Flat, Alta, Baxter, Grass Canyon, Nevada City, and all around the vicinity.

    I have been reporting this with ICE for over a year, but nothing gets done.



  39. Sylvia Koite on October 1, 2021 at 8:42 am

    To think how people think making marijuana league is a good thing they sound semi brain dead it’s no wonder people kill each other and law there scratches their asses 😂😂😂



  40. Stephen Bellm on October 1, 2021 at 8:43 am

    PRO 420 scissors are great for trimming, teflon coated and super sharp and fast. Check them out at http://www.pro420.com
