Really interesting article about how the falling wholesale price for decriminalized marijuana has Mexican and Central American drug farmers switch from weed to poppy. Apparently heroin has been making a come back since prescription drugs have been becoming more expensive and less easily available on the street and the traffickers are straight targeting rural New England, Appalachia and the Midwest, selling $4 hits of heroin to former OxyContin users.

    ÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs not worth it anymore,ÔÇØ said Rodrigo Silla, 50, a lifelong cannabis farmer who said he couldnÔÇÖt remember the last time his family and others in their tiny hamlet gave up growing mota. ÔÇ£I wish the Americans would stop with this legalization.ÔÇØ

    LOL at the huge deadly unstoppable epidemic that has been created by "legal" scripts

    Grow some good genetics without toxic herbicides and pesticides sprayed all over it, only to be packed down as bricks...and Texas would go back to buying from Mexico instead of from California. Mexican farmers haven't changed one bit with the market, except to lower their prices for what is now considered garbage (aka Reggie)...and they wonder why their business went to rubbish?
