expect this problem to continue as long as a plant is illegal and desirable. They treat weed like its a cross between kryptonite and pure gold. no wonder people are trying to grow everywhere. Let the farmers grow it and let us have 5 dollar/oz weed. This situation is insane.

The blackmarket continues because taxation is unreasonable.

Its very far from being legalized.

It is legal to grow six recreational plants on your property for personal use without a permit; you can grow more with a medical card.

Legalize it and the illegal grows stop. Otherwise expect more mayhem.

I’m not sure what we have now but it’s a shit show.

And now it is a total Canopy limit of 100 square feet indoors and/or outside, which is only 10'x10', and that limit might be per household not per adult. Not sure about medical but the rules were tightened in 2019 as part of "legalization" in California. Those are the no permit rules, no idea what is allowed with registering.

Meanwhile, black market prices keep plunging due to the glut of home grows. The only 'winners' here are the corporate interests, and the tax collector.

They often coerce victims to work the grows, under threats to them and their families.
