California voters approved recreational marijuana five years ago, joining a club that has now grown to 18 states and Washington, D.C. The hope was legalization would eventually put illicit operations out of business. But instead, the opposite is happening: The underground market is booming, causing some to warn the regulated system is teetering toward collapse.
Business owners face steep taxes and costly red tape, and consumers are finding that better deals can be had outside of licensed stores. We embedded with law enforcement during raids of outlaw operations and spoke with illegal growers and dealers about the market realities in California’s weed economy.

Because the state will take the product and sell it to a legal dispensary and rake in the profits.

My take away is that the California system can only favor serious big money investors because they can survive better in a low net profit business environment. Cuts out the smaller growers just fine. Besides, most small operators don't have the ability to borrow serious start-up capital to have a compliant grow site and associated fees.

Keep in mind nobody was arrested nor were we charged with any crime or even given a fine they just robbed us left us broke and moved onto the next victim. As far as your testing you might wanna do a little more research because those labs are all just as crooked as the council members who approve business licenses and permits.

Then liberals want my anger as a black man to be directed at their conservative fathers for spilling their own blood to break my ancestors chains and teach them how to slap away the hands of the deceitful and lecherous white liberals. Do you want to know the truth? Look up child soldiers, ah ah ah, such dark taste this life has, even better yet, you're paying your enemies to get you high so they can steal a future from you in the long run. Their minds are staying sharp in the darkness and so does their hatred. The Latinos are the new Arabs and the prize? degeneracy. The hatred is so high they're even lacing up marijuana with Fentanyl.

I'm a legal grower in CA. Grew illegally for many years exactly like Doc, and made the switch in '17. The system is absolutely fucked. ~70% tax rate (seed to sale), exorbitant licensing fees, land use requirements, unfair competition from the black market, etc etc. We've consistently harvested larger and larger canopies every season, and every year it gets harder to make ends meet. The annual black market flood came early this year and we literally had to shut down operations 2 months ahead of schedule and let 1000s of pounds rot in the field because we couldn't sell anything. Hard to compete with 400$ lbs when your cost of production isn't too far off from that...

@Flicka Flame Exactly. It's not so much an illegal marijuana issue as it is a human trafficking and associated crime issue. Out here in southern Oregon, the cartel will come to legal grow operations, threaten the growers and their families, and then will take over. All of this over a plant that the government has stigmatized to the point where people are getting killed over it.

Here is a crazy idea, how about instead of investing 99% of the polices resources into weed raids and "suspicious persons" calls. How about you allow them to do their actual job and allow them to keep the public safe instead of being the thing that actually creates danger

@@weirdshibainu I agree with both of you. We can't treat these growers as criminals, but we also can't let them run rampant with a deregulated process. CA really needs to overlook the ways it's handling of the legal weed market because I think there's a reasonable taxable and regulated middle ground that doesn't stomp out well intended growers.

​@@bigwill6089i know exactly what it is. The legal, corporate weed companies harvest far too early and completely skip curing their flower. They cut corners to produce the most amount of flower in the shortest amount of time possible. Then they wonder why the supply begins to outpace demand and their ounces start selling for 110.
