She worries that the legalization of pot has increased the number of impaired drivers on valley roads. About half of her total DUI arrests in her four-year career have occurred this year.
Shows what a liar you are, Pauly G........
They might legalize it if they can figure out a way to make more money off it.
and distribute. Isn't that what happened after prohibition, all the folks that were producing and
distributing dominated the legal market for alcohol?
Was watching a show this week (the profit) that said growing weed is now only a misdemeanor.
Why in the world would anybody pay the fees to be a legal grower?
There's a head scratcher.

You think we should leave it unchecked? In many cases I think we need
less government but when you have a friend who loses a kid to drugs
and how it devastates all those around, you're quite thankful for the
"war on drugs". A kid I know lost 3 friends this last year, drug overdose,
being drunk and hit by a train, and suicide (I suspect drugs were involved there also)
the really sad one was the drug overdose. The kid could have been saved but
the other druggies instead of getting him help threw his body out the front window
to between the house and the bushes. The next morning a neighbor walking their
dog saw the kid laying there but it was too late by then.

Here are my two favorite growers in Washington state. Treehawk is a young guy that saved his family farm by producing high quality organically cultivated cannabis.

There isn't much reason to buy black market, especially from Mexico. It's garbage weed compared to what these great businesses produce.
The cartels mostly import shit weed. Most legal smokers I assume prefer the kind bud sold by the growers over the shit the cartels import by the pounds.
Once weed is universally accepted and legal I think either beer companies or the cigarette companies will grow or buy their way into the weed market. The cartels are not going to strike a deal with 7-11 to sell packs of joints. But I could see a legitimate beer or cigarette company doing that.
Just my guess.
purchase established farms. They don't need to hide anymore. They know the market, now it's
just a matter of getting into the hands of the masses.
On the show I watched, they said CA would be the largest producer of pot. I just don't see
the cartel as saying "oh well, we had a good run" You realize all that cash they (the cartel)
made and laundered they put into real businesses. I just don't see them as letting their
cash cow go away. It must be a hell of a lot cheaper to produce legally than to go to war with the
competition shooting everybody.

The cigarette makers have started to move in on the E-cig market already. Seems logical they might move in on the weed market at some point. Swap out tobacco fields for marijuana fields. Seems like a good fit.
A lot of the cartels traffic in a lot more then weed. I think it may be a challenge for them to somehow become legitimate marijuana dealers, while behind the scenes traffic in other narcotics.
I think that’s why if you atleast legalize weed you eliminate that that revenue stream. Doesn’t stop the major cartels because that’s just one product of their business.
And they wonder why they are broke, walking down the sidewalk, no job losers. LOL
Wont last long because the cops love writing citations for smoking in public now too.
The shame is, the kids have no future in life. Fucked from the get go.
Casinos are a great example. Nearly every gambler you talk to either won big, won a little bit, or just about broke even yet the casinos keep building, expanding, and spending money like it grows on trees. All that without anyone ever really losing a ton of money........
It seems the states really want this extra income and to be legitimate it might be difficult for the cartels to operate how they are accustomed to.
But good point you brought up I didn’t really think about.
