Everything about Pierreville Quebec totally explained
Pierreville, Quebec is a
community in
Nicolet-Yamaska Regional County Municipality,
Quebec, located at the confluence of the
Saint Lawrence and
Saint-François rivers, at the edge of
Lac Saint-Pierre.
Pierreville faces the town of
Saint-François-du-Lac from across the Saint-François river, and lies at the junction of
Route 132 and
Route 226. Part of the Indian reserve of
Odanak is an enclave within the city limits of Pierreville; in fact, the limits of the reserve begin only a short walk away from the town's main street.
Cannabis culture
The town of Pierreville has gained notoriety in recent years owing to the increasingly widespread industry of illicit
cannabis culture. The industry is lucrative by all accounts, with workers being paid $25
CAD per hour to harvest the crop. One group of observers reported spotting at least $10 million
CAD worth of cannabis plants during an aerial flyby. In some cases, farmers seem to have adopted the new crop themselves to increase their revenues; in others, the plants have been introduced into the fields of unsuspecting farmers by
criminal gangs, who often resort to coercion and intimidation to prevent farmers from interfering with their operations.
The ubiquity of marijuana culture has earned Pierreville the nicknames of
"Cocotteville" (Budtown) and
"la Petite Colombie" (Little Colombia), as high school students are routinely recruited to work in the fields—with parents sometimes recruiting their own children—and local politicians begrudgingly welcoming the economic prosperity the pot industry brings.
