If you live in the US and your weed has seeds in it chances are that it came from a Mexican, Colombian, or possabaly a West Indian gang/cartel. If you have "Beasters" chances are it came through a biker or Asain gang, although proboly not from Canada these days. Even alot of headies come from gang types who might or might not grow it but move it around the country. Weed is a multi-billion dollar industry get real.
I don't know what you are talking about but mexican drug cartels DO participate in taking hostages and firearm trafficking....all the time.
I don't see how you can generalize like that...and it is a very valuable industry, but on the personal level the profit yields aren't attractive to gang sets. The point of this thread is to say BOYCOTT mexican drug cartels' weed, and I'm saying that it is such little profit compared to other drugs, that boycotting it won't do shit.
Purp, none of these idiots understand how you can't really connect weed with the rise of the cartels. If you lived near the border (I do live in Phoenix sometimes) you'll understand what the cartels are doing. Coke>Weed when it comes to violent smuggling. Cops find cars full of weed near the border but usually to get a car full of coke there's a high speed chase and a gun fight. Phoenix is now the kidnapping capital of the country because the cartels have become so powerful that human trafficking is just another part of business. Even if everyone in America turned down brick weed assuming it came from Mexico, you'd barely put a dent in the drug lords wallets. If they really wanted to make that money back, they'd just kidnap more people because it's so easy. Why set up a couple people to run weed across the border and to major cities when you can hire a couple guys to kidnap someone? Make a call to his/her family and you'll get richer without having to hustle on the street corner.
We have so much pot around here from Mexico. I mean, everywhere! Brick, dirt, to the stuff that looks good but smells and tastes like hay or gasoline. I prefer the local growers, it's always nice and green with a hint of purple. It's cost more but I'm supporting his family instead of violence, so that makes me feel better.
Exactly - guys, don't worry about boycotting any weed. First off: You probably won't be able to tell where the hell it came from and secondly: you wouldn't be doing anything but losing yourself a bud opportunity Keep smokin!:sifone:
Yeah were idiots and im sure your an expert and drug cartel movements. As I said, and since that is all you can think about, even if other drugs are making them more money then legalize that shit too. Then they would have to kidnap people all the time, which is what the fuck theyre doing anyway. And no drugs means they get way less money and you know it. That is the main source. Who uses drugs? LOTS OF PEOPLE. Who buys illegal guns??? Fucking gang members and shit. And if you didnt know, there are alot LESS people in gangs then there are OUT of gangs.
I don't even know what you are talking about, dude...seriously. Let's legalize crack so gangs will have to kidnap people. Wait never mind, they do that already. But at least the drugs are legal now, so they won't deal with it. lol makes no sense...the comment about idiots is about dead-on haha
Obviously you dont know. Yes, you are the idiot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qu0C3TW3Xk It makes perfect sence, your small mind obviously just cant comprehend it.
Legalizing drugs across the board will only allow gangs to do what they do easier...and there is no way that all drugs would be legalized anyways. What doesn't make sense is your logic...insulting me isn't the way to prove your point.
I'll boycott Mexican schwag when the government allows me to grow my own. Until then, I'll fund these terrible gangs until they do something so profound the government realizes they cannot allow the marijuana to be sold by murderers. I usually don't buy it, as I live in New Hampshire so we hardly see any of that shit up here, but occasionally its too cheap to pass up.
you did it first. second, no it wont. it would stop them being able to do what they want if you dont realize that watch the union the buisness behind getting high. no dealers want it legalized becuase they would be put out of buisness. Therefore, SO WOULD GANGS DRUG PROFITS. My logic is fine.
Still: The priorities of Mexican drug cartels have been shifting from drugs...even legalizing them (won't EVER happen and I will guarantee it) won't do anything The profit of human/firearm trafficking>drugs(heroin/coke)>marijuana They have shifted agendas greatly, they no longer are looking into getting away with shit from the police, they are looking into killing the police and taking over the government. Gangs in general would lose money if all drugs were made legal, but still, that is NOT going to happen. Your logic is completely irrelevant to the issue, first off. Secondly: You suggested making ALL drugs legal so that gangs would be forced to start human/firearm trafficking and other more violent activities to make money - how is that solving anything? P.S. Before you try to dismiss the 'idiot' comment, fix your syntax and grammar into something a little more coherent.
Lol this is the stupidest topic Ive ever read I live in a bordertown in Texas and the main highway that runs through it is IH-35. This is where the majority of America gets there brick weed from. The cops make a little dent in some flow of marijuana, seeing the newspaper articles with a few tons seized here and there, but way more gets through than doesn't. Boycotting it is pretty much useless because not everyone can afford high grade marijuana and they would still like to be able to toke what they can. Lol prices for street marijuana are 10 bucks 10 g's 20 bucks 20 g's 25-30 a zone sometimes 60 bucks a quarter pound 100-120 a half pound and 150-200 a full pound of mexicos finest. Lol with those prices who can resist a lil bag every now and then. The majority of the bud i blaze is from mexico and its pretty good too. Sure its still schwag but isnt cured with chemicals and relatively low on seeds and is pretty green. We get it first before anyone else so the chances of it being sprayed is less likely than northern cities or other states. Either its wrapped well when crossing or crossed manually threw the river. Blunt with some homies gets me good but i prefer smoking a few rillos a day if possible. My point is you want to boycott something that is never going to change. In Mexico people grow tons (literally) of marijuana and sell in bulk, so I see your point about organized crime, but it also benefits the pothead as well so its a win win situation. As long as you dont get involved in the drug trade you really arent a target by most cartels. So you buy the product and make yourself happy or boycott and go dry and only pay for high grade cannabis which in my city runs roughly 20-25 a gram and ive even had friends whove paid 30(fckin stupid) but its the weed economy round these parts. Lol and purpbythepound is completely correct, marijuana is a minor cash crop for cartels. People cross alot of kilos of cocaine through IH-35 as well, and there is major demand for cocaine all over the united states. Because like you said alot of people smoke marijuana, but alot of people do cocaine, and there is crack heads in every city maybe none you know but they are there. So the people who smoke pot usually buy skimped out schwag bags in the upper parts of the united states or hydroponically grown. Crack is very cheap to manufacture and with small ammounts of cocaine you can turn up huge profits. Cartels distribute cocaine in massive ammounts for so much more than massive ammounts of cannabis, that boycotting wouldnt deprive the cartels from making money as they do that already on cocaine herion and illegal smuggling/gun trafficking. This is a dumb topic smoke what you can smoke and have a good day toking the Cannabis Buds no matter where you scored it. As long as it doenst smell like anything other than plants
^^^ Wish I could get 1 dollar grams up here in New Hampshire! Schwag is still 15-20 dollars for 3.5g up here. Your signature is doope by the way.
Damn thats crazy but i could imagine ive seen some tv shows wheres pounds we can get here for 200 go for 3,000 in upper united states crazy stuff
