is there any evidence that they are? the oregon legal weed market is owned by coloradan cannabis investors - theres no room for mexican cartels or oregon-original growers or distributors.Do "WE" know that cartels aren't in the background running pot operations in Oregon? Who would oversee that? Those at The Capitol in Salem? Oh they're totally honest, smart and beyond reproach.
the cartels work where the money is best - thats the South. they grow weed in california and oregon, sure, just like everyone else, but that weed is taken south at harvest where its still $3500+ per pound.
ive paid as little as $300/lb for high quality oregon grown weed. thanks to the coloradans.
