Yes.

In states where marijuana is legal, we have a fictional system set up where there's a company that sells a computer program that's supposed to track your inventory and where it's going and where it's selling.

It's very easy to manipulate it and cook the books.

So you can grow more marijuana than you tell your program you're growing, or you can say that you destroyed marijuana that you didn't end up destroying, you actually just diverted it.

They call that diversion and inversion.

That's within a tracked side of the program.

So it's very, very easy to manipulate what the government sees or what the computer program that tracks your inventory sees.

But in Maine, our medicinal program doesn't even have that tracking program.

So within the existing legal marijuana system, there are all kinds of loopholes.

And the Chinese are very skilled and very adept at exploiting these loopholes.

To give you a concrete example,

In the beginning of Maine's experience with triad weed, there were some individuals who came up to Maine.

One of them was Johnny Woo.

Johnny Woo comes up to Maine, speaks great English.

He rents a facility outside of our state capital.

He's growing marijuana there.

He gets his medicinal marijuana license using his Massachusetts driver's license and purports to be complying with all of the rules.

But he, using his approved marijuana card, can go around to all of these other grows and grab their illegally grown marijuana and then bring it to dispensaries and offer it to them and say, oh, no, no, no, this is legal.

I grew it.

See, I'm legal.
