Considering that these pot shops are heavily regulated and taxed, it is more accurate to say that the pot industry switched cartels. Now that the government is involved in ensuring the success of this tax base, I don’t think the Mexican cartels have a chance.
Nah, the Cartels and the Government will have a “friendly merger.”
When the government took over the numbers racket (Lotto) I knew it would eventually come to this.
Government coffers are being filled by the numbers racket, alcohol taxes, pot taxes, tobacco taxes. Soon they will be getting their cut of heroin, prostitution...and whatever else they can weasel into.
