The number problem was straightened out and there’s hardly a dozen or so hands between growers and users. Whether legal or illegal most people are buying from the growers these days.

Boy, you got a lot to learn, including math.
Which cartel? The Feds are BOTH SIDES you know!
Legalize it for the idiot stoners and there will be no more cartel of any kind!
Yep, they weigh the dirt ball at the bottom when measuring.
OMG

The DEA has to stop domestic production from ruining their lucrative import business. This is so quintessentially American today; punish the domestic producer and enable foreign product.

Murder? More like taking out the trash. In East Texas, my family, forebearers, and their neighboring peers had a common, prevailing motto, you’d hear more than just about any other.

And don’t doubt for a minute that I could personally dispatch any of those three from the face of the earth without the slightest pang of conscience.

You will not be allowed into the kingdom with that.
