We grow pretty good weed too, that isn't nothing.

Not exported overseas though.

I have a feeling it probably must be though. What other countries are pumping out literal metric tons annually?

My understanding is it's only legalized on a state level and not federal. So I guess if they're shipping it from an international airport or by sea the feds might see that as drug trafficking.

I absolutely mean smuggling

I live in Maine and the market is so flooded nobody can even grow straight for the black market and compete anymore, it's all spills over from licenced grows. $80/oz for top shelf if you look around a little, $100 if you don't. It's almost impossible to spend more than $200. That has to be having farther reaching effects.

I’m on medcan in Australia. It gets imported from everywhere but I’ve yet to come across a US grown flower.

All of the North American stuff I’ve gotten is Canadian.
