I live in Siskiyou county also, we are being swamped by people buying bare parcels of land up here to grow Marijuana. There are no houses built, they camp out or put trailers on the land and have the water trucked in. Some people who are near creeks or rivers are pumping water out of them to grown pot.
It has gotten ridiculous and if you live next door to them they ignore your complaints about never ending water trucks and the smell of pot. The people of Siskiyou county recently passed two propositions, measures T & U, where you can not grow pot outside (you need to build a greenhouse with permits and your parcel must have a regular residence on it) and you are limited to 12 plants you can grow per parcel. Article about those two propositions is here

Some neighbors of ours recently got busted growing 3412 pot plants, that was what was reported in our local paper. We watched the police haul it out using a CHP helicopter, it was 22 loads of pot that was put on trucks and hauled away.

Plenty of us have lots we can’t sell. I have a beautiful lot with a view to die for..1 1/3 acre and can’t get $10,000 for it. Some of these ‘immigrants’ are squatters on public land or bare land owned by someone else. I expect to go down there one day and see them using my property...but the county won’t let me camp one damn night on my own land.
