I suspect that marijuana is frequently located with other, and much-stronger dope.

When multiple substances are illegal (or legal but onerously taxed), it's no surprise to find criminals selling more than one of them.

“it’s no surprise to find criminals selling more than one of them.”

So, when marijuana “venders” also sell fentanyl, opiates, codeine, heroin, and cocaine, the Republic benefits somehow?

(35 pounds of fentanyl, bound for the “Drug-Infested Den” of New Hampshire was seized from Illegals in Lawrence, Massachusetts, last week).

But wait, it gets worse:
“In California, authorities say outlaw dispensaries in Los Angeles County greatly outnumber the licensed storefront retailers — and undercut their prices.

Buyers can get pot products cheaper at illegal outlets that don’t charge or pay taxes, according to Adam Spiker, executive director of the Southern California Coalition, a trade organization that represents cannabis growers, distributors and dispensary owners. He called it an “unfair competitive situation for licensed businesses.”

In Colorado, another legal pot state, news reports indicate police have seen illegal growing operations surge.
