Production Of Cannabis Cigarettes, Marin County, California, United States

Marin County is one the original 27 counties California, created February 18, 1850, following adoption the Constitution 1849 and just months before the state was admitted to the Union.
The origin the county's name is not clear. One version is the county was named after Chief Marin, the Coast Miwok, Licatiut tribe Native Americans who inhabited that section and waged fierce battle against the early Spanish military explorers. The other version is that the bay between San Pedro Point and San Quentin Point was named Bahía de Nuestra Señora del Rosario la Marinera in 1775, and it is quite possible that Marin is simply an abbreviation this name.
The Coast Miwok Indians were hunters and gatherers whose ancestors had occupied the area for thousands years. About 600 village sites have been identified in the county. The Coast Miwok numbered in the thousands. Today there are few left, and even fewer with any knowledge their Coast Miwok lineage. Efforts are being made so that they are not forgotten.
The English explorer and privateer, Sir Francis Drake and the crew the Golden Hind was thought to have landed on the Marin coast in 1579 claiming the land as Nova Albion. A bronze plaque inscribed with Drake's claim to the new lands, fitting the description in Drake's own account, was discovered in 1933. This so-called Drake's Plate Brass was revealed as a hoax in 2003.
