Likely a case of cartels moving into an area where pot was a family business.
These things ONLY exist because of prohibition on a plant anyone can grow. Prohibition causes these weeds to be worth more than GOLD and inevitably creates a violent black market.
If you let American farmers and legal stores sell it, you wouldn’t have violence over pot. Just like bootleggers stopped shooting right after alcohol prohibition was over.
Total BS. Organized crime moves in on any market they can. Union Labor in the NE, “Waste management” nearly nation wide, trucking, gambling,alcohol, etc.
Legalizing pot will make it worse, not better. It will also vastly increase demand, which gangs and cartels will gladly fill. Prescription drugs are legal, so why are they sold illegally?
nothing good comes from people living in a state of intoxication either from booze or drugs...
Weed is worth about a quarter of what gold is at most......
