1st and foremost DGP I have not read your complaint with sab.
I would like to comment on your statement:
Drug cartels will see the same thing you see. And then my expectation is that they will not gladly give up a profitable trade.
I think maryJ is different due to the fact it can be so easily produced. A $1000 investment can set up a nice home grow operation.
I dont know if where you live medicianal maryJ is legal but here after they legalized it there were grow supply stores on every corner.
