and it is a sure cash money bet that there WILL be shoot outs.

So why hasn't that happened in CO and WA?

Agreed. The shootouts will happen in the National Parks where the cartels have taken up residence to grow crops.

I would postulate and submit that it is a
Cottage industry (CO&WA) vs mega-farms (CA).

=========================================================

I am heading north thru Calif toward Oregon and Washington for the summer.

When I was listening to a local TV station a few months ago, a local area sheriff was complaining that yes private people can grow Marijuana but the problem comes when the crop is harvasted, $hundreds of thousands sits in the garage. The criminals know when it is harvested and it is too easy of a hit to resist.

Its much more profitable and easier than robbing a bank. Why not other states? It's coming to a morgue near you soon.
