These events have taken Shepherd on a path towards unraveling the complexities of how this now legal and potential billion dollar crop will be managed and enforced by government. It has motivated him to explore the environmental, political and cultural impact on the quality of life in rural communities and the ramifications of this industry for longtime small local growers as large corporations and rogue growers buy up land, begin large scale production and may process and distribute the cannabis in local neighborhoods as well.
While Shepherd’s story begins in a small rural neighborhood in west county, this is an issue that potentially affects our water safety and supply, our environment and the quality of life for everyone.
