Regarding marijuana being seized exiting California: There is a Netflix documentary called Murder Mountain that partly addresses this…it's a pretty good documentary overall.
Anyways, the marijuana farmers who are currently illegal and wanting to go legit make a compelling case that legalization by California was just a move to enrich big pharma and the state govt. Between confiscatory taxes and heavy-handed govt regulations, the average joe farmer literally can't afford to go legit.
Combine the above with pot prices falling, the obvious solution is to grow in-state and export. It's a freaking plant and there is a serious need for a common sense injection into the subject. IMO, it all needs to go back to the original reasons for outlawing weed were wholly based on lies and propaganda…that right there should be enough to legalize in full. The whole sham is ridiculous…and I don't even smoke weed. But I am curious…especially about the potential medicinal benefits.
