The property has a house under construction surrounded by a clutch of rundown greenhouses. A few already have collapsed.

Omictin said the family had to reinforce the greenhouses; otherwise, a strong storm could have come through and blown more of them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His parents were immigrants and migrant workers. They bought property in the early 2000s, trying to become owners instead of laborers. But then cheap flowers from overseas undercut the U.S. market.

He worried SWAT teams might come in and raid the place. His son eventually convinced him that cannabis could be a lifesaver.

Marijuana cannot be legally transported across international borders the way flowers are. They pour in from South American countries where workers are paid far less and the flowers are far cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stream of cheap flowers from places like Colombia has put many U.S. growers out of business, said Kasey Cronquist, CEO of the California Cut Flower Commission. Today Cronquist said only a handful of rose or chrysanthemum growers are left in the country and not a single farmer who grows carnations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People can't believe it,” Cronquist said. “How did we do this?

Starting in 1991, the U.S. signed trade deals aiming to get South American cocaine growers to cultivate flowers instead. First there was the \u003ca href=\"https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/325/~/andean-trade-preference-act-%28atpa%29---expiration-of-duty-free-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andean Trade Preference Act\u003c/a>, and then in 2012 the \u003ca href=\"https://ustr.gov/uscolombiatpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colombia Free Trade Agreement\u003c/a>. Through these deals, the government has sent hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies, and it has cut tariffs on South American flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cronquist said the U.S. overlooked the microeconomic effects of these trade deals on individual industries like cut flowers. Instead, he said the country focused on the diplomatic effort to limit cocaine production, which despite U.S. intervention still continues in South America. Cronquist called the whole endeavor “trade policy run amok.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To survive the cheap U.S.-subsidized flowers streaming in from South America, farmers here sought protected niches. Some tried potted flowers. They are in soil that is very difficult to transport across borders because of customs restrictions. Other farmers got into edible crops like lettuce, which are highly perishable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Salinas, families like the Omictins are now betting on cannabis. They hope the feds won’t crack down once they start growing. But at the same time, they want marijuana to remain in enough of a legal gray area that it is protected from the forces of globalization. Otherwise, marijuana farmers overseas could start shipping in boatloads of legal product at dirt-cheap prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they would be right back where they started: with greenhouses filled with weeds that no one wants to buy.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The property has a house under construction surrounded by a clutch of rundown greenhouses. A few already have collapsed. Others are in sad shape, leaning to one side or the other, huge holes in their plastic. Omictin said the family had to reinforce the greenhouses; otherwise, a strong storm could have come through and blown more of them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His parents were immigrants and migrant workers. They bought property in the early 2000s, trying to become owners instead of laborers. But then cheap flowers from overseas undercut the U.S. market. At one point, Omictin said they were selling bouquets at 10 cents a bunch just so they wouldn’t rot in the greenhouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11477679\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11477679\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/Pot-Flowers-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Omictin's family used to grow flowers in Monterey County.

It passed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.municode.com/library/ca/monterey_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT21ZO_CH21.67COMECAAC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ordinance\u003c/a> saying you can grow cannabis only in old greenhouses. Aaron Johnson, a local lawyer who specializes in marijuana, says the county is trying to do two things: to save the greenhouses and prevent new cannabis farms from springing up all over the place.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Basically, the county threw a life vest to save us now.'\u003ccite>George Omictin\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“You have these vast crop lands. They didn’t want those to be paved over for greenhouses,” Johnson said. “So they basically said, ‘Look, keep it at the existing greenhouses, use these things that are falling down.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ordinance suddenly turned the eyesore greenhouses on the outskirts of Salinas into valuable commodities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Literally within a period of two weeks I saw the prices go from $50,000 an acre for undeveloped industrial land to about $300,000 an acre,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically, the county threw a life vest to save us now,” Omictin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, Omictin’s conservative father was reluctant to grab the life vest because marijuana is a drug. He worried SWAT teams might come in and raid the place. His son eventually convinced him that cannabis could be a lifesaver. And the fact that the federal government still labels marijuana a drug was actually a big part of its appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because cannabis is in a legal gray area, it may be a more commercially reliable crop than flowers. Marijuana cannot be legally transported across international borders the way flowers are. They pour in from South American countries where workers are paid far less and the flowers are far cheaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stream of cheap flowers from places like Colombia has put many U.S. growers out of business, said Kasey Cronquist, CEO of the California Cut Flower Commission. Today Cronquist said only a handful of rose or chrysanthemum growers are left in the country and not a single farmer who grows carnations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People can't believe it,” Cronquist said. “How did we do this? How did we get here? Well, it goes back to these trade agreements in the early '90s, and the rest is history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11485725\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11485725\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A fieldworker harvests flowers at a farm near Moss Beach.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/FlowerFarm-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A fieldworker harvests flowers at a farm near Moss Beach. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That history begins with cocaine. Starting in 1991, the U.S. signed trade deals aiming to get South American cocaine growers to cultivate flowers instead. First there was the \u003ca href=\"https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/325/~/andean-trade-preference-act-%28atpa%29---expiration-of-duty-free-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andean Trade Preference Act\u003c/a>, and then in 2012 the \u003ca href=\"https://ustr.gov/uscolombiatpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colombia Free Trade Agreement\u003c/a>. Through these deals, the government has sent hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies, and it has cut tariffs on South American flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cronquist said the U.S. overlooked the microeconomic effects of these trade deals on individual industries like cut flowers. Instead, he said the country focused on the diplomatic effort to limit cocaine production, which despite U.S. intervention still continues in South America. Cronquist called the whole endeavor “trade policy run amok.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To survive the cheap U.S.-subsidized flowers streaming in from South America, farmers here sought protected niches. Some tried potted flowers. They are in soil that is very difficult to transport across borders because of customs restrictions. Other farmers got into edible crops like lettuce, which are highly perishable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Salinas, families like the Omictins are now betting on cannabis. They hope the feds won’t crack down once they start growing. But at the same time, they want marijuana to remain in enough of a legal gray area that it is protected from the forces of globalization. Otherwise, marijuana farmers overseas could start shipping in boatloads of legal product at dirt-cheap prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then they would be right back where they started: with greenhouses filled with weeds that no one wants to buy.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
