Marijuana cartel in B.C. = Hells Angels, Asian gangs, traditional organized crime. Interesting that they are attempting to legalize pot and one of the worst Canadian LE murders in years occurs while the RCMP is investigating it.
No, just personal possession and use ... which does nothing to divest criminals of the inflated profits created by anti-pot-selling laws.
I am not sure who the they are you mention in your post.
But the involvement of the people you mentioned in the pot business is no surprise. Neither is it a surprise that their involvement brings an element of violence into the mix that was unknown years ago. Reminds me of the cocaine cowboy days of the 70's. I live in Florida so that hit close to home. I sure as heck do not want to see similar things happen over marijuana.
