Whats life in California like?

[THE PABLOS]

Cali is a cool place don't get me wrong but people won't be flocking to that state when marijuana gets legalized every state in USA.

Not accurate at all...but...I hope like hell...you are right.

People have been flocking here for a long time. I really don't think..in the big picture...MMJ is drawing that many people to move here. I can't tell anyway.

Too much pot? Is there such a thing? I don't know...I love it...and really don't think of markets. Anyway...I know peeps who generate a decent income in the markets...even now. It's a competitive market...yes...and that's good. There is plenty of all different grades of herb...from import Mexi to best of the best. The markets are like politics...depends on your angle

The state of California is ultra beautiful...ultra diverse...great coast line...great surf...great skate spots...great mnts...great deserts..great forests...great climates...great wildlife...great cities...I mean...works for me on many levels. I've always smoked weed here...most freely...even before MMJ ever happened.

It's still big...Golden State. I wake up everyday and feel blessed to be where I am. "Coyotes in the canyon...got the wind in my hair"

In what way if you don't mind me asking?

I'm curious about this myself.

Growing up in the East Bay during the 60s, my friends and I used to go on endless hikes through orchards and farms. Those orchards and farms have been turned under and replaced with shopping malls and housing developments. I have fond memories of driving to Half Moon Bay, getting sandwiches at the local deli and then driving DIRECTLY to the beach. Nowadays, many of the beaches at Half Moon Bay today is lined with upscale homes and access to the beach is more difficult if not impossible.

As a teenager, I spent many months in Yosemite backpacking and rock climbing. Go to Yosemite Valley during the summer today and the roads are parking lots full of congestion, traffic, noisy rude people. There was a time that I could remember when Yosemite was a place to get away from it all. I recommended not but one week ago to a colleague that Tuolumne Meadows would be a place to see. He came back and said Tuolumne Meadows was jammed packed full of cars and people.

Just citing a couple of examples.

The world is overpopulated that's for sure...and when this pushes up against wilderness...it ain't pretty.

For good or bad, Cali is in its own bubble.

Don't get me wrong, its beautiful, but what isn't? As long as you keep Shiva.

Well in fairness the worst possible time to go to any attraction like a National Park, if you don't like crowds, is during the summer when families are vacationing. Now more so then ever even with people vacationing more cheaply and locally.

Yosemite

Yosemite

I backpacked in Yosemite over 40 years ago. I remember we didnt pass but two other people for the three days we were out. We drank from springs, slept under the stars, and caught fish in the stream for lunch. It was free and easy.

I doubt its like that now

There are great places in California that the general public doesnt know about. Its those places I prefer

Well one amazing and often overlooked fact is that over 40 years ago the population of the world and of the US was almost half what it is now.

Amazing in that it took us from the dawn of man until the mid to late 1900's to build a sustained world population of a little over 3 billion but in about 4 to 5 decades we've more then doubled that.

Alas what you say about popular places with the general public is true. The Caribbean is a great example. If you've ever been there in a not overly touristy setting it's a beautiful place. They have a saying down there though that the water is green from all the Heineken bottles thrown overboard from the cruise ships.
