Mexican Cartel-Style Violence Spreading in California over Marijuana Grow Fields
Breitbart ^ | 02/05/2023 | ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

Contrary to political rhetoric, Mexican-style cartel killings and gun battles appear to have already reached the U.S. and are spreading — particularly in California. The region experienced an explosive growth of cartel marijuana grow operations that are taking advantage of legalization and lax laws.

This week, federal authorities clashed with one of two gunmen who are accused of killing a family of six — including a 16-year-old female and her baby. The murders took place last month in Tulare County, California, in what some authorities have dubbed a cartel killing.

Gavin “self medicate” Newsom says just get high or drunk and it will go away.

Exactly. I see so many libtards in my state who insist, “Alcohol kills thousands every year [it does]; weed kills 0”. Um, no. My parents nearly lost their house when some potheads smoked up and decided that lighting bits of paper on fire would be a hoot. In drought-stricken California. The resulting forest fire caused at least $1 million in property damage and the idiots had to be rescued from the consequences of their own actions at taxpayer expense. At least the alcohol companies are honest about the risks involved.

A lot of potheads also abuse alcohol.

True, which exposes another left-wing lie: that legalizing marijuana will decrease alcoholism. Many people use alcohol and marijuana as complements, not substitutes for each other.

I should add that in this particular case they found no traces of alcohol in the idiots’ systems. My problem is not so much with legalization as a) the way in which it was implemented here in CA (e.g. no way to test for DUI, high taxes which ensure the continuation of a black market) and b) the lies the left puts about to make weed seem safer than it actually is.

Mexican Cartel-Style Violence Spreading in California

Why not there’s no border or manpower to stop them all thanks to JOE BIDEN.

I thought we were told that legalization would reduce this kind of behavior - how *shocking* it achieved entirely the opposite. < / s >
