How big are these grows? We had 3 50k square foot legal grows in three states and produced about 12 metric tons per location. That represented about 400 million a year in retail value on average. 3000 grows must be small to hide them. Something off about this claim. Our 50k square foot grow had about 30k plants at any given time in 22 -24 grow rooms all automated and hydroponically grown. every week a couple rooms would be harvested on rotation.
Combined U.S. medical and recreational cannabis sales could reach $33.6 billion by the end of 2023, largely driven by the opening of new adult-use markets.
States already have 3-4 different taxes on weed. Not sure where the money is going but California for example should be doing a lot better than it is. The more DOGE is exposing the more it seems we been sucked dry by parasites on all fronts.
TBH it’s probably being buried at the County Level. Any State Level involvement is likely in the form of paying off inspectors/investigators that come sniffing around.
The Legislature likely isn’t majorly involved. As it ultimately wouldn’t be a serious problem or threat for the growers. Considering any State Legislature is about as useful as Congress on a good day when it comes to making legislation isn’t directly harmful to the interests and wellbeing of the general public.
Recreational weed completely destroyed the medicinal market. It drove out the original OG growers and pioneers who cared about the cause and getting alternative medication to patients. Now it’s overrun by snotty woke ass idiots who never had to go through the pain.
I guess Sylvester Stallone’s TV show “Tulsa King” isn’t too far off the mark.
Came here to say just that😂😂😂
Great minds.

So the illegal trade is out pacing the legal taxable trade.
Tax that and get rid of property taxes.

Shit, thats right! I forgot about their weed taxes. They tax the hell out of gasoline too. Where is all the money going?
Not to road repair, that's for sure.
Taxes are the ultimate slush fund ponzi scheme.
They are buying up a lot of land,and paying way more than the going rate.
Deport illegals from any nationality.
take some land back and add to the cryptocurrency surplus (I, more into gold, but anyways, got to stop the takeover by China)
Let the SA farmers handle it. Give them a sweet lease deal.
good idea, S. Africa families definitely!
A-10 Warthogs inbound... please, please, please
Weed bad.
So what's the state legislatures cut? This doesn't get to be that big without some cooperation

There’s a reason why the Cartels are still in the business of Marijuana.

Burn the fields down.
Paraquat!!!!!!! The US sprayed it on marijuana fields in Central America in the70s in an effort to kill the weed and the importation.
