Recreational marijuana and registered marijuana grows are legal in California. Dicus, however, cited the marijuana black market as a cause of violence.
“The plague is the black market of marijuana and certainly cartel activity, and a number of victims are out there,” he said.
I live in California. I have gummies and a vape that I bought at corner stores. How is this still a thing? I’m genuinely curious. Why are people still dying over pot if I can buy it legally?
Somehow my friend in Texas is getting 3 grams of carts from a dealer for like $30, whereas in Rhode Island it’s 50 bucks for half a gram. I’m very Puzzled by this.
Taxes.
That’s an enormous difference. Way more than flower.
Look at the break down of the taxes. Like in Illinois the more concentrated the higher the taxes percentage.
I can get full grams legally for as little as $30 in WA. Either RI has some bonkers taxes or you’re getting badly ripped off.
