Ofc, theres lot of ppl smoking marihuana in this thread !
So glad to hear the weed connoisseurs of GAF won't touch Mexican weed. I've lived in Arizona and Texas, border states, and I hate seeing people light up because you know where that weed came from.
Though I question this conceived notion that just because your weed was grown domestically, it was grown and distributed by peaceful ageing hippies. Drug violence and dealing gangs exist on this side of the border too.

Throw whatever you want. You only associate "brick" weed with Mexico and you associate "dank" with the Emerald Triangle or wherever else has been ingrained in your brain. You can and do smoke "dank" from Mexico and other countries worldwide but in your mind it could not possibly be for some made up reason.
You claimed that the quality of weed will decrease if it becomes legalized did you not?

BC bud is better than other bud.

Sorry, my post may have been written poorly or unclear. I meant that demand for weed based on cost will exist, so naturally some businesses will fill that demand and produce low-quality stuff. I was responding to this post:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=55267172&postcount=173
where it was suggested that certain people will always demand "cartel weed" because it's cheap, rather than the fact that people want cheap weed because... it's cheap. Same reason people choose GPC cigs vs... parliament or whatever.
Hey, I feel like you're not addressing the problem with premium mexican weed. Where is the demand for it? I've bought a myriad of drugs from mexico. Weed is not their strong suite, and SURE, sure, you can find good weed in mexico. But its not what is being shipped by the ton to america and being sold. Their premium quality is inherently going to be expensive to make, a large amount of customers are fine buying brick, at shitty weed prices, and that is not quality weed. Hell, its barely quality cocaine.
I understand how plants grow. You can grow anything anywhere, climate allowing. I also understand not taking time and money required to make a quality product, when its not a requirement of your customer base.
You have some issue with associations you're projecting on me, or something. But that aside, Mexican weed that cartels sell to masses is garbage. Why are you in a rush to associate premium quality weed with mexico? Or some how highlight it more than the bullshit sold..?

But what if, hypothetically mind you, I've had this bud, and indeed thought it superior? All in my head?
I sort of get your point, but there are variations to weather in parts of the world that make growing certain things easier/stronger. Same as wine.
Oh, of course they do. Yeah, that would explain it.

Not my problem.
I've already done my part in trying to get it legalized and regulated. Since my representatives refuse to represent me and get the job done, that leaves me with no say in the matter whatsoever. My state doesn't have ballot initiative either, so no luck there either. I'm not going to stop smoking weed just because it's illegal either. I believe in total sovereignty over my own body, regardless of what the law states.

OP's issues were sorta solved on page 1. When you factor in how America deals with its own problems, poverty, starvation, and drug abuse... you can see how problems outside of the border aren't really paramount.
Quality of marijuana is in relation to the quality of plant a cartel could produce, and whether it would be a viable competitor in a fair and legal marketplace. Weed makes a large chunk of cartel revenue. So if its gone, it will create a void. Some are saying cartels will just turn legal, others are saying they will try to ramp up heroin, etc.. kidnappings to make it up.
Kinda dont need to freak out...
My weed comes from dispenseries, but still this.

So basically, it's weed with roots in hell that you shoot with a needle, but leads to some pretty wild parties.
Lucky you, I don't even know where mine comes from.
I was furthering your statement by stating there is so much local Colorado grown weed here there is a surplus of it. I agree with both of your posts.
I agree even though i don't drink and don't do any kind of drugs, and im from Mexico and live in one of the most dangerous cities in the border.
Just let people do whatever they want with their bodies, but make it legal to keep better control of the stuff.
IMO, the only way to fight Mexicos situation is through education, not prohibition, mexican kids look up to the narco culture, the same way that american kids do to thug culture, couple that with a big part of society being in poverty and the corruption and you get to where we are today...
it is the spanish word for Marijuana, a transparent word if you will, and since we are on the subject, "alcohol" is one too.
Not a guarantee. The Zetas, at least, have diversified into legitimate businesses to launder their money, in both the U.S. and Mexico. They've made a small fortune with coal in Mexico, so the OP is likely using electricity created from coal that lines the Zetas pockets. The rest of us may or may not be buying from Zeta owned companies -- they own restaurants, laundries, car lots, etc. Any place that makes a good money laundering organization has likely been considered by the cartels.
Yeah. Certain areas like Washington, California, Oregon, British Columbia, and Colorado are places that basically 100% of the bud sold is grown there or in one of the neighboring areas. For example, you might find Cali bud in Ore. or BC Bud in Washington, but you would have a VERY hard time selling anything sourced from Mexico around those areas. I do admit we're spoiled around these parts with selection and ability to pick and choose.
Hell, in Vancouver we have brand names emerging for growers already. JT Trees(Best for Indicas IMO), Heavenly Daze(Best Sativas and great shatter), Dab City Labs, Green Goddess, Vanganics, Green King, VIP, and SJ to name a few.

People who think they aren't buying weed imported from or through Mexico just because they are buying "the good shit" are fooling themselves. Unless you grow it yourself, you don't have any idea.
I have lots of ex-pat friends in Latin America. The market has changed. "Ditch weed" still exists, but sophisticated strains are in high demand and supply as well.
Consider they fact that COLUMBIA is now back as a major player...in the WEED game. Why? Cause there are now a helluva lot more hipsters willing to spend $150/quarter on some kind bud than there are people who want to jam a few grams of coke up their nose.

That your choice, and your choice is a shitty one who hurts millions of people.
Its not hurting millions of people if he is getting it from a local source.
