New Netflix Series “Murder Mountain” Is A Must Watch!

One of the newest shows added to Netflix this month, “Murder Mountain”, takes a hard look at Humboldt county, California, the epicenter of cannabis cultivation in the United States.

When most people think of marijuana, they think of being stoned and getting the munchies, but in this 6 part mini-seres we learn that not all things cannabis are warm and fuzzy.

Since 1977, Humboldt County, a quiet, remote stretch of land in the heart of what is known as the “emerald triangle”(Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties), has consistently reported more missing people per capita than the entire state of California.

While there are simple explanations to some of these disappearances, the cold hard truth is that a large portion of them can be tied to the black market marijuana industry (which continues to flourish despite the legalization of recreational cannabis last January).

Why do so many people that work on cannabis grows in Humboldt go missing? It is hard to pinpoint the cause in each case, but over the years it has been proven that young kids will flock to the area in hopes of making big money on marijuana, only to find out the harsh reality of life on a grow. Long hours of hard labor, very little pay and the possibility of being subjected to violence and abuse.

With over 15,000 illegal grows and the black market booming, it is no surprise these workers, known as “trimmigrants”, make the trek to the emerald triangle despite all the well known negative aspects of the work.

Murder Mountain focuses on one individual in particular, Garrett Rodriguez, who moved to Humboldt to work on a cannabis farm so he could afford to take over his family property in Mexico. Despite finding success in Humboldt, it wasn’t long before Garrett’s phone calls to his father stopped, leaving his family to wonder what had become of him.
