Gov. Newsom pulls National
Guard from border so soldiers can go after unlicensed pot farmers.
State drug cartel wants its
share of illegal pot market’s $3.7 billion.
“The
big pitch for decriminalization was that law enforcement would no longer have
to focus on busting dime bag dealers. Prisons would empty now that the hoi
polloi would get its drugs from MedMen instead of the dealer on the corner.

would drop. And the Age of Aquarius would finally be upon us.

“Governor Newsom has declared a second drug war because the majority of drug sales are still black market. In an age where you can swipe right to get pot, government pot is still too expensive. New York’s OTB gambling monopoly went bankrupt and an apocryphal story has the IRS losing money on a Nevada brothel. California is proving that the government can fail at drugs along with sex and gambling.”
