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?

    Twenty years ago in High School, good weed was about $60/eighth in CA. $40 was for decent stuff.

    With legalization, I can get decent stuff for $25 now — twenty years of inflation later. Anecdotal, sure, but it’s way cheaper for me now.
