Mary Jane Stoner Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 If oregon had also voted to legalise marijuana then the mexican drug cartels might have lost 20% of their profits or over a billion dollars US. Even with only washington and colorado voting for legalisation the market is diminished plenty enough to hurt those mexican crime lords. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/how-much-would-legalizing-marijuana-one-or-more-us-states-hurt-mexican-gangsters Especially if and when pot gets supplied cheaply by those two states to the rest of america.

Frank Reynolds Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 How much 'hold' on the cannabis market in America do the cartels have? It seems so much is grown in the medical states that should be keeping the other states pretty happy aye!!! Always thought the cartel to target the harder drugs really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrethead Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Cartels in the US in my experience are more interested in coke than weed. Coke is rampant as witnessed on my recent trip. Cheap too......apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Don't underestimate how much mexican brick weed is trafficked at any point in time. Those dudes ship shitloads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrethead Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Don't underestimate how much mexican brick weed is trafficked at any point in time. Those dudes ship shitloads. Fair enough. I had a second thought about the legal marijuana states supplying others. This may be true, but I'd imagine the big grow hoses have pretty tight controls on what ends up at a dispensary and what goes out the back door.

Mary Jane Stoner Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think you are now allowed 6 personal plants in Colorado. Think about that. If a third of Coloradans each grew 6 plants measuring 7-20 feet high each. They are going to be sorely tempted to sell their excess to an interstate distributor. Why hang onto it when you will soon have another legal 6 plants growing fresh weed. the rego is nearly due. Electricity prices keep going up. Sure would be nice to have a couple of extra bucks.

Badseed77 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think i read it as 6 personal plants but only 2 mature plants at time . So i guess you cant flower 6 at once . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just saw on the tv news mention of the US states that voted to make possession legal. An important point that everyone is overlooking is that the vote is for possession only, they still won't be allowed to actually grow the plants.

Cerberus Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) I just saw on the tv news mention of the US states that voted to make possession legal. An important point that everyone is overlooking is that the vote is for possession only, they still won't be allowed to actually grow the plants. The new Colorado law states you are allowed 3 mature plants with 6 in total. I have yet to see the laws definition of plant maturity so that is unknown Washington does not have a similar law Edited November 9, 2012 by Cerberus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
