Great news for drug dealers!!! There is still a chance that Prop. 19 will pass and they will be able to intersperse their illegal marijuana with legal marijuana--plus they will be able to grow the stuff without fear of law enforcement. All they will have to fear is the Mexican drug cartels and fellow dealers who prefer to steal the stuff than grow it.
"Marijuana seizures are running at record levels in California, having more than tripled since 2005. But drug agents say they are getting only a fraction of the total crop. And in California's saturated pot market, dealers big and small are moving the drug out of state in ever larger quantities, using everything from overnight delivery services to tractor-trailers.
"We're seeing more and more of the marijuana cultivated in California being exported where there is a market that will pay more," says Bill Ruzzamenti, a former special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration who now heads a regional agency that monitors drug trafficking in California.
Ruzzamenti says the pot cultivation boom in California began soon after voters legalized medical marijuana 14 years ago. Now, he believes, California could be a net exporter of the drug."
Get it? The slippery slope of drugs was started with the phony legalization of medical marijuana. Imagine what Prop.19 could do for criminals in California exporting marijuana! Is this how California will save itself--sell marijuana and be in a permanent high?
