Cannabis Culture
Humboldt Seed Company is deeply ingrained in the iconic cannabis culture of Humboldt County, a region steeped in history and tradition. Originating from the counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s, Humboldt County became a haven for those seeking an alternative lifestyle, embracing free-spirited living and a connection with nature. As cannabis cultivation gained momentum, the region evolved into a thriving hub for marijuana farming, with growers dedicated to producing top-tier strains renowned for their potency and flavor. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Humboldt County’s cannabis industry experienced significant growth, fueled by the demand for high-quality cannabis amidst the rise of the medical marijuana movement. Despite facing challenges, such as federal prosecution and the need to remain underground, the region’s farmers persevered, driven by their passion for the plant and commitment to excellence. Today, Humboldt County’s cannabis is celebrated globally for its exceptional quality, reflecting not only the skill and expertise of its farmers but also the rich heritage and vibrant community that define the region’s cannabis culture. We hope to share some of our experiences as well as education in our culture blog.
