Big difference between the extant medical end of this business and what’s about to transpire. And even bigger difference between “recreational use” legal, and fully endorsed, govt. sanctioned business enterprise legal. It’s like comparing the neighborhood coffee shop’s cash flow to Starbucks. The cartels are already here and involved. Haven’t you noticed how lately they’ve seemingly “disappeared” from all reporting? Has the violence stopped in Mexico? Did they run out of ammo? Has everything turned to hearts and flowers?
Oh come on. Medical marijuana is defacto legalization and everybody knows it.
Face it guys, the cartels are not going to do your dirty work. Marijuana prohibition has collapsed in the US and it's not coming back.
