Maybe 30 years ago. Who knows what lurks in the genetic jungle?

Yup, Used to be a lot grown in California but not today. Most of ours up here in Washington State comes from B.C.

I expect that cross border flow to totally dry up when our "home grown" pot goes legally on sale here in the State of Washington shortly.

Will be much cheaper and the State will collect a good stream of revenues!

It's a win win for us up here.

That will pretty much eliminate the criminal element.

No money in it for them anymore.

I could tell you an interesting story of one night that I was up on Stuart Island at my home only about 2 kilometers from the U.S. Canadian border.

We heard all of this noise, 3 or 4 helicopters, boarder patrol boats and the U.S. Coast Guard buzzing around.

Including the Canadian Coast Guard.

Total kayos.

They had tracked a boat coming in from B.C. and stopped it. Full of B.C. bud and they got busted right out in front of my house! My brother had left his night vision binoculars at my home and we saw the whole thing. Wish I had my video camera hooked up to it.

There are infrared cameras and sophisticated radar located on Turn Pt. on the island. Watching the border 24/7/365

You cannot run stuff at night across the border anymore without being intercepted!
