When you sell $30 worth of weed for $90+ with taxes no wonder there’s a black market.
Legalized marijuana is still illegal to the Feds so you people better watch them bastards. That's exactly what's going on in small out skirt towns where there are a lot of border patrol & they can pull you over just for being suspicious. 😫🖕😡
Lets be very clear that alcohol is the gateway drug not cannabis. Alcohol destroys your inhibition while cannabis reinforces it. You will regret your behavior while intoxicated with alcohol not marijuana. The legalization of marijuana took the money out of the poor peoples hands and into the hands of those that already have money as it takes an enormous amount of money to get started in the legal marijuana game.
What you think just cause you legalize it that the black market will go away…lmfao I would rather pay 100-200 a oz then pay these to high of a price at the dispensary for 400 to 650.00. This is nuts like wtf!
The incredibly high taxes and red tape around who gets to open a dispensary deter the legal market from truly thriving. Democrats are only willing to support legalization if corporate lobbyists are happy. Republicans resist due to unreasonable prejudices having to do with outdated beliefs. Same old BS.
The greed allows the black market to thrive until they sell 8ths for $30 or less the traditional market will stay, no weed is worth $40 an 8th let alone $80 $85 the state wants
These cops are so focused on drugs they can’t stop there own partner from killing Black people these cops are cowards and they can’t get a handle on anything cops should be disbanded in America
Even tho it’s legal they still get harassed by the cops? They are a small town and have nothing else to do..everyone knows that..it’s all about the tax and them getting paid via traffick tickets.
Why are they worried about marijuana? Because they are not profiting off of it. And leading to more serious crimes hahaha me (32) my father (62) and many of my friends and family are marijuana consumers mildly to high use never had a criminal record have an excellent career and family very healthy involved in my community and in my church uneducated people worried more about someone elses life more than there own
When y’all sell some bammer for 20 a gram. Black market doing them for 10 and it’s better quality. Black market cannabis is better and cheaper. Good luck lol
I knew as soon as they legalized marijuana it would change nothing, the gov would tax the hell out of it as a result making it ridiculously over priced and ultimately forcing people who want/need to smoke to go back to getting weed the old fashioned way off the streets. These prosecutors need to continue letting these people go who are getting busted for weed because no one more specifically no black man should have to do 10 or more years in prison for possessing something that’s supposed to be “legal”. If this same effort was put towards car jackings/people like the ones who stormed the capital maybe the world would be a better place.

Go after the meth dealers and leave these potheads alone.
You have to be a millionaire to shop? At any illinois Dispensary $$$$ they're all over priced
Dispensaries totally charge to much then a high separate tax to take from the facility.
Why am I not surprised with not one minority approved to open a dispensary and high prices what do you expect? Smh.
All bLACKS. surprise?
Illegal canibus? Really? The state gets big taxes off dispensary but the independent dealer they can’t tax so they call it illegal. This is a joke

Cops are trying to file charges on people federally in order to extort the green gold. Don't let them fool you
Jabba the Pritzker will get his cut plus 10% to the Big Guy.
They store the weed so they can re-sale it to another state.
The war on drugs never end
Dispensaries taxing wayy to much for someshit i can find way cheaper and maybe more potent smh lol
