Rolling Stone article explores the impact on this year's California wildfires on the cannabis industry

"Last year, as reported by Rolling Stone, an approximate 30 to 40 percent of California’s marijuana growers were impacted by the fires, according to the California Growers Association, but the recreationally legal weed industry was still in its relative infancy then, and has rapidly expanded in the months since. "



"Late last month, in Greenville, to the east of Mendocino in Las Plumas County, a massive fire tore through at least eight greenhouses containing some of the state’s most coveted premium herb, destroying five of them. ‘Terp Town,’ as the farm is affectionately known, is operated by the town’s largest employer, Loudpack, which supplies dispensaries all over the state. Thankfully, none of the facility’s 300 employees were injured or killed, but the company is still assessing the damages."

"Also in late-July, to the northwest near Redding in Shasta County, several buildings operated by AlienLabs, another one of the leading cannabis growers in the state, were destroyed in the still growing Carr Fire, which has consumed 173,522 acres so far. And it’s early yet — last year’s most damaging fires began in November and December, and with one state record already beat, 2018 is shaping up to be even more catastrophic for California, its residents and the still-young marijuana industry."
