The western climate is getting drier and has been for years. Even rainy Portland now is concerned.

Less often mentioned is water use by marijuana cultivators. One, a legal one outside Ashland OR, fed his crop so much well water several years back that his neighbors’ spigots (and presumably their toilets) went dry sometime in early summer. There also are off-the-books plantations in Oregon and all over Northern California that use — or shall we say “cadge” — many, many barrels of water to fill the public need for medical CBD.
