(CA) Only in Humboldt…Pounds in the Trash

[Jesus Malverde]

Pounds in the trash? Does that happen anywhere except the Emerald Triangle? Yesterday, Bob Ornelas, owner of Arcata Construction Services, was at the Eureka Transfer Station when he watched the staff “slice open” some trash bags. Revealing…(drum roll please) pounds of pot.

Every day, marijuana stems probably get tossed at the station but, this time, according to Ornelas, the bags were full of “some very dry, mid level bud” as well as trim and stems. Ornelas described the product as “plants that someone had clipped all the big buds off of.”

The staff, Ornelas said, just laughed at the contents and then threw the bags out with the rest of the trash.
