I'm speaking from experience. Mexico's become a huge producer of tar. It also matters where you live - if you're on the east coast the H is completely different

I'm speaking from experience. Mexico's become a huge producer of tar. It also matters where you live - if you're on the east coast the H is completely different from what you see in the midwest or southwest.

PS - Why the downvotes?
- Retric 10y agoOpioid abuse is not supply side limited.
- dragonwriter 10y agoEven so, aggressive marketing by cartels trying to reduce lost MJ revenues could magnify it. The scenario presented is not implausible.

- Zigurd 10y agoRegarding the downvotes, I had to read your top level post three times to understand what you are getting at: a) Mexican pot growers need a new line of business, now that it's legal to produce for the medical and recreational markets in many places in the US. b) Therefore they are supplying heroin addicts in the US. The first time I read what you wrote I got the impression you were saying cannabis is a gateway drug. I didn't understand you were talking about the effects of legalization on Mexican traffickers.
- coleifer 10y agoWell, my point was really about GPs and family doctors needing to be familiar with various ways to treat opiate addiction.
- baraah 10y agoThe first time I read your post, I thought you meant that producers of legal marihuana were now getting into poppy seeds, hoping for further decriminalization. Maybe others missunderstood you too.
