The illegal sale and mass distribution of Marijuana in Washington State is WAY WAY down
From the Atlantic article last month:
"One-half of the dream is coming true. In the first two states to go legal, arrests for marijuana possession have dropped dramatically—by 98 percent in Washington and 95 percent in Colorado as of last year—and high taxes in both states are generating tens of millions of dollars a year for education and public health. At the same time, legal markets in Washington and Colorado along with loosening medical-marijuana laws around the country have together exerted enough downward pressure on street prices that Central American cartels have reportedly begun to shift production away from marijuana, toward more profitable drugs like heroin..."
http://extract.suntimes.com/information ... rijuana-usResearchers analyzed data from a 2014 national consumer panel survey of 4,269 people and charted their results. Joints were the most commonly used method of marijuana consumption by a pretty large margin.
