in response to the question about why everyone doesn’t just grow their own because it’s so easy, everyone who’s responded to my post tends to discount the fact that i prefaced the whole thing with “the average pothead” ...

When they were pushing Medical Marijuana way back when I recall the Commercials showing bald Cancer Patients ravaged by the Disease.
Never understood why Marijuana Clinics were not setup at the local Cancer Hospitals after the Law passed though. Most ended up in the seedy parts of town.
I guess those same Cancer Patients had to take an Ambulance to get their stuff.

Hefty marijuana taxes that can approach 50 percent in some communities have been blamed for pushing shoppers into California’s tax-free illegal market, which is thriving. Industry analysts estimate that $3 are spent in the illegal market for every $1 in the legal one. Gee it's almost as if they're designing it to make sure people can get all the pot they want at a cheap price. They've managed to create two markets where before there was only one.

Would politicians possibly side with “the growers” if they were receiving kick backs?

I don’t remember that. Can you post some links so we can all read for ourselves? I’ll wait. Take your time.

I’m sure Cal politicians obey whomever has the money to demand a “quid pro quo”.
I don’t think the legal growers are in that position.
