Who knows who is legal and who is not? I looked at the county by county list of licensed growers, my county has 120 legal grows. There have got to be 1000 just in my valley which is just part of the county. No addresses or locations are given for the legal ops, and the names mean nothing to anyone except the licensees.
I can only assume that way over 95% of the growers in my valley are illegal. Locals, those who just moved here and bought property with huge wads of cash, and then the cartels - MX, Romanians, Russians, Bulgarians.
