California’s ‘outlaw’ marijuana culture faces a harsh reckoning: Legal weed

There’s a photo & a brief interview with him in this article from March. He was in Arcata.

I don’t know if it’s of any help.

"Basil Tolson lights up in Arcata, Calif. Tolson, who lives in Kentucky, said he appreciates the medical benefits of cannabis and hopes it will become legal in his home state."

It sounds to me like he is homeless travelling around California?? Possibly doing odd jobs here and there?

His mother is a personal friend of my mother and has no idea what has happened to him. He went to CA to see his daughter. He gets a disability check and his mom said they are waiting for cctv footage and bank statements to see if and when his money is being used from his acct. He went out there without making any arrangements for a place to stay but he did continue to post on FB regularly and call his family periodicly. It seems he has disappeared without a clue for way too long. even for him, this is not normal behavior.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Websleuths @Tricia Puckett ! :)

He left no other digital footprints? Why would it take so long for Humboldt County Sheriff‘s Office to obtain this information/cctv footage?

Last his mother told me, they discovered 2 men using his debit card that he gets a disability check on it she thought they were planning to find these guys. Is he close to the area known as Murder Mountain?

It's a little over 100 miles southeast from Trinidad to Alderpoint. The cannabis industry in that area is full of shady characters because of how much money is invovled.
