Mexican cartels want U.S.-made marijuana
Matt Levin | June 9, 2015 | Updated: June 9, 2015 8:57pm
Mexican drug cartels have a craving for American-made pot.
Twenty-three U.S. states allow legal marijuana in some form. The permission of lawful growhouses make it easier for the countrys vendors to perfect high-quality weed. That prompted one gang member to rave to news media giant Bloomberg about the variety, novelty and quality of marijuana from north of the border.
Connoisseurs in Juárez are noticing, theyre starting to demand Purple Haze or Kush from American dispensaries. Gang members bring the quality stuff back from the U.S.," the gangster said
The growing trend of pot legalization in America has been reshaping the drug war and hurting Mexican distributors for some time, forcing them to focus on harder drugs like meth or heroin or even to grow vegetables. But the Bloomberg story notes that the flow of pot from south to north not only has slackened its been to a growing degree, reversed.
The marijuana industry that impressed the gangster could be worth $35 billion if the drug was fully legalized in the U.S. by 2020, according to a very-hypothetical analysis done by a New York-based cannabis research firm. Some one-third of marijuana is grown in the U.S., compared with a sixth in past years, Bloomberg wrote.
The budding industry, the report says, has American entrepreneurs hoping to turn occupations like grow-equipment supplier into global brands. And the top-shelf marijuana could even force changes to the marijuana policies of Mexico, where 64 percent of Mexicans advocated for medicinal marijuana in a 2013 survey.
