    Taking my 15 minute commute home through the UCF campus tonight I started wondering how many of the students were baked. (very very large campus)

    Here is my question of the day, as I was looking over Ron Paul, and Gary Johnson’s platforms respectively. If for some reason weed were legalized, would there be some kind of busting up of the cartels that fight to supply the US?

    Or does that depend upon whether it’s actually legal in places like Mexico as well? I am guessing demand will not go down, but would corporate interests choke out cartels by simply growing stateside?

    I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure, as of the past few decades, most is grown stateside. California is like a $14 billion alone.

    I’m going off memory here, but as I recall something like 60% of the Mexican drug cartels’ revenue is from marijuana, but… only a small fraction of that actually goes to California, as Californians grow a lot of their own in-state (as you point out). The larger concern for the cartels with respect to California legalizing marijuana is that CA’s pot would get exported (illegally) to other states, which would have a material impact on the cartel’s drug sales.

    I am to lazy to look up data on this (no I do not smoke) but from what I recall most is grown in state by cartel farmers living in angels and sequioia and los padres etc. These farms are everywhere! It is absolutely amazing to me how common and massive they are. I have come across mexican pot farms three times, and psuedo threatened with a gun once.

    Be warry of going off trail.
