They had fucking shootouts with the cartel in the woods over weed because here's what happened. California made weed legal in the state but made growing it a misdemeanor if you grow it illegally. So if you are a person who's doing it legally, you can grow it and you can sell it if you have a license. You can open up a shop and you can sell it. They tax the shit out of it. It's great for everybody.
But the problem is you made growing it illegally a misdemeanor. So then the cartel just starts growing it everywhere in the national forests because even if the guys get arrested โ Nothing happens. It's a misdemeanor, so it's nothing. So they're using these crazy toxic poison pesticides, all this shit that's totally illegal to use on regular crops in America.

And 90% of the illegal weed that's being bought around the country is coming from them. Holy shit, I didn't know that. And they're doing it all in national forests, and they're doing most of it in California. Dude, they find these grow-ups. My friend found one. You know him. Cody. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He found a cartel grow-up on Tahone Ranch. This guy carried in pipes on his shoulder. And diverted a stream. Deep into the woods. Diverted a stream. And then there was this whole field of weed that these guys had planted out there. They were camping out there. They had little religious symbols and shit they kept by their bed to protect them.

Okay. What's the problem? You no longer have distribution, but you still have a demand. You still have a demand. Yeah. The real problem is there's always going to be a demand. The real problem, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that idea, by the way. Okay. I like that idea. Yeah. But the problem with that idea is you're always going to have a demand.

And if you're going to have a demand, someone's going to fulfill that demand. And who the fuck is that going to be? How are they going to get the Coke in? You're not going to just not have Coke. So here's the question. By having prohibition of alcohol in the United States, it's widely agreed that that led to the rise of the mafia. Right.

Bootleggers, the mafia, criminal organizations that were organized crime that went on to do a bunch of other horrible things inside our country, and they were built up with money because alcohol was illegal. The moment alcohol stopped being illegal, you still have these people with all this money now. You fucked up. Now they're organized gangsters.

Okay, alcohol's legal now, so they're just going to sell it legally. And they have millions and millions of dollars from a life of crime. You've already done that with the cartel. You've got to do something. You've got to do something. And you probably also should legalize drugs. I don't think you should take drugs. I think coke is probably terrible for almost everybody.
