Today’s LAT has an interesting article about the “cult of indoor weed“. Basically, consumers have developed a preference for marijuana grown indoors; the result has been a large indoor pot industry, focused in the “Emerald Triangle” region (Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt counties) of Northern California.
Meanwhile, CVS has been fined $75 million by the Federal government. Why? They weren’t aggressive enough in tracking people who bought cold medication. Meanwhile, since the “Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005” has been in effect, meth production has moved across the border into Mexico, where the cartels can buy pseudoephedrine in bulk.
