We got there around midnight, set up camp, and went to sleep. The next couple days blew. This was my first day waking up without opiates in almost a year. I won\u2019t gross you out with too many details but let\u2019s just say I had the flu times ten. This normally lasts anywhere from two weeks to two months depending on the severity of your habit but for some reason (I have theories) when you\u2019re in the middle of nowhere, away from everything you know, you don\u2019t get as sick and you recover faster. I think this is because without any chance of getting more opiates the mental part of withdrawal \u2014 which translates largely into the physical \u2014 ceases to be. I have experienced this several other times while in jail. Between other addicts I have talked to and my own experience, I have concluded that this is in fact a thing, although no one really seems to know why. Anyway, it takes about three to four days to get out of bed and start work.<\/p>\n<p>The landscape is beautiful. The dirt is a rich blood orange color speckled with sparking quartz crystal, blood-red Manzanita contrasted by their forest green leaves, White Oak stood here and there adorned with minty green Usnea moss. A myriad of caterpillars wriggled and swung in the breeze from silk with a rainbow shimmer from the morning sun. Juxtaposed in the center of all this nature was the fence \u2014 a crude mesh of chicken wire and chain link with a barbed wire crown for keeping rodents, deer and human alike at bay so the beautiful green and purple ladies within could grow undisturbed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more soon&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Below: Marijuanaville photos provided by the author.<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12796\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12796\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cannabis-crop-redding-1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/reviewermag.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/cannabis-crop-redding-1.jpg?w=600\" alt=\"A few of Josh&#039;s plants he tended while in Northern Cal.
