Illinois cannabis dispensaries open - CardBoardBox - 01-05-2020
Every (opinon) State and Canada experienced a supply shortage when ganja became legal, until the licensed growers were up to speed. No one cried about the lost tax revenues, and I'm sure those who paid for their growing license want to protect their investment, but I do not understand why Jamaica does not offer to assist, in the early days anyway, by flying in a few plane loads.
I am unaware if Jamaica is snatching unlicensed fields or large amounts being transported (not in recent history have I read any news stories), but IMO Jamaica is missing out on some revenue for the country.
Maybe the mechanics or profit are not worth it.
Two stories I found to share from 2019, plus one with 'where in the US ...' map

Negril and Jamaica is so much more than just grass supply. For the record, I don't smoke it no more (lyics removed) and IMO can have some negative results (on young people.)
