#1 Right now the cartels are looking for that CBP guy who called in sick Thursday. I don't think they would try to move 7 tons w/out an insider to facilitate. Who knows - maybe after the recent tunnel closures they were desperate.

#2 Isn't this getting to be shipping coal to Newcastle? I would think legalization in the Northwest and Colorado would be like fracking is to oil in the business plan.

#5 P2K, it would seem that way.
From what I have heard about Colorado:
1. Growing, Selling compliance expenses + taxes make the legal stuff more expensive.

2. Convenience of having it right there or delivered as opposed to time + gasoline + hassle of going to a store.

3. Don't want to be, or at least feel, observed by state agents and/or community members; lower social profile.

#7 They gotta make a stop every now and then so folks can see they're doing their job. But there will be no shortages.

#9 swksvolFF,

Some observations from traveling with a medical user from California to Colorado.

1) Colorado stuff is just about the same price as medical grade in CA
2) A lot of places deliver like pizza that is really handy for the infirmed or just too stoned crowd.
3) The Colorado stuff is waaay better than the CA stuff
4) People all over are just walking in and out without caring about being seen. Most city and state police don't care about them.
5) Pot is a very lucrative business and both the people in the industry and the government are making some good money off it. Most illegal dealers are actually having a hard time competing with the stores and their product isn't as good so they are switching to selling harder drugs.
