“The hippies up in NorCal will be happy to hear this, they were hit hard when pot went legal.”
International drug cartels are the big growers in California now. And unlike the old domestic growers they are very dangerous. A pal of mine is a deputy sheriff who is often involved in raids on these grows. On one recent raid they found more than a dozen dead bodies, all of them illegals from Asia. It was a hit by a rival cartel. The killers didn’t even bother to take the huge pile of cash and drugs at the site.
Those selling at the market just outed themselves to the cartels, I would think.
