• Emerald Dreams and Smoky Realities

  Thursday, May 3, 2009:  In a small two-bedroom home, nestled anonymously on the upper Westside of Santa Barbara, the lights are humming right now. Vaguely Victorian in style with a white picket fence and a well-manicured front lawn, the home does little to betray the blooming emerald harvest growing inside its walls. A woman walking her dog passes by the driveway, urging her four-legged friend to “do your business,” never giving a second thought to the perpetually drawn window shades of the back room, the constantly spinning electricity meter humming in the side yard, or the sweet odor of fresh ganja blowing in the breeze.

  Far from a typical closet marijuana growing operation, medical marijuana gardens — enjoying the freedoms of state legal status — often employ sophisticated technologies to produce some of the highest-grade marijuana known to humans.
