The best stuff now comes from north of the border. This was actually predicted some time back, so it’s not really a surprise, at least not to me. In fact, I mentioned it in a post several years ago. I’d give a link, but couldn’t find the thread. ---

Now its our turn to run naked through the rows of pot plants, then scrape the hashish off and sell it? ---

That’s an old story from reefer madness days Updated: now it will be Mexican real sugar Coke cans dented and punctured to make pipes. ---

It’s been pretty open knowledge in the Oregon cannabis community that black market grows are mostly making their way down to Texas and over the border because the cartels who got roundly kicked out of their illegal outdoor grows in California public lands discovered that Oregon indoor grown weed is about light years better than anything they can manage to turn out. It’s been that way for some years now and we think it’s pretty funny, actually. Nobody’s been able to sell Mexican brick weed in the states to anyone but poor people in the deep southeast quadrant of the country for about a decade now. You can’t even make halfway decent concentrates out of that garbage, it’s basically compost.
