All about the taxes...
This was predictable; the government would tax it into the black market.
A few years back I was predicting that the war on some drugs would not end with legalization. “Just wait until it’s the revenuers, not DEA, coming after your stills...um, I mean plants”.
“We think you have more than the 12 plants allowed by law, open up, we have a warrant”
No knock raids are justified here, the tax cheats could send a plant down the garbage disposer in the time it takes us to politely knock and identify ourselves”.
For your interest.
The law of unintended consequences raises its ugly head again.
Here in MA my neighbor buys t-shirts off a website then the guy drops off the shirt at his house for $100 dollars that also comes with a “Free Gift”.
But I thought legalization was going to solve our War on Drugs problem.
Guess not.
12?! Dagnabit I thought it was only six so that's all I grew in '15 and '16. Only four were females both years. &*$#&%
Umm... I thought this kind of stuff wasn’t supposed to happen!
LOL... things were supposed to be easier for law enforcement to deal with!
How could this have gone so wrong???
I suspect that 247 homes was just scratching the surface.
Oh well... they were warned.
Would’ve been better if they raided 420 homes, heh, heh.

What a waste of tax payer money and resources. 250 homes raided? At what cost to the tax payers? 10 million? And all for 4500 pounds of pot? What a farce.
80,000 plants? Smoking weed makes you retarded and gay...
There must be a mistake here. Wasn’t legalization supposed to eliminate the illegal drug market? Well, the illegal sellers can sell cheaper by avoiding the state imposed sale tax. Now who would have thought. Competition is such good thing. It drives our economy.
