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?
Consider the source, it’s totally possible the cops are leaving out information or straight up lying to push their own agenda here
Cops hate legalization because they can’t sell the drugs they seize.
Also, if/when they want to harass someone all they need to do is say “sniff sniff I smell marijuana, so now I get to search through all your stuff without a warrant” and they hate losing that
