Actually, there is fairly strong tabacco smuggling industry,in the Northeast, particularly between Indian tribes on both sides of the border, and there is liquor bootlegging, especially along the sea coasts, all incentivized by the high Canadian taxes on booze and liquor.
I don’t see any reason why pot would be any different.
“there is fairly strong tabacco smuggling industry”
Smuggling legally produced tobacco from one state or county to another isn’t really the same as illegally growing it.
“there is liquor bootlegging”
Besides the odd guy in Appalachia with a still, I find it hard to believe that people are really bootlegging liquor. Bootlegging meaning making their own illegal liquor, not just smuggling already legally produced liquor around to avoid taxes.
My wrestling heart-throb from the 70’s hooked up with the Canadian mafia & started smuggling cigarettes & then cocaine.
In 1993, Dino Bravo was at home watching a hockey game when he was shot 17 times. 10 in the head, 7 in the torso. Murder still unsolved.
