Analysis Focuses on Medical Marijuana on Black Market

A new analysis finds loose rules and a lack of regulation have contributed to more Oregon medical marijuana being sold on the black market.

The analysis was done by the Oregonian.

It found almost 40% of Oregon marijuana seized nationally, on drug trafficking routes, had a connection to the medical marijuana program.

Cannabis supporters like Lori Duckworth said there needs to be more regulation, where farms are regularly inspected for compliance.

The analysis also discovered more than a dozen large-scale operations -- trafficking hundreds of pounds of Oregon marijuana to at least seven states.

    I do not believe for one minute that "supporters" want MORE regulation, with farms being inspected for "compliance". If you start sending in Law Enforcement or gov't employees to inspect grow sights, you can guarantee that there will be massive corruption involved. Most grow sights will be found "not in compliance", unless of course, they pay off the Officials/Mafia who are doing the inspections...

    lets face it we need to stop this marijuana problem.

    many are using the marijuana to get in to meth and cocaine and all drugs that is illegal.

    delivery marijuana also lots of what to do selling meth to kid's and doctor's should be out of license giving this to anyone.

    american kids are the target of this marijuana to make sure the american's and the american kid's are destroyed. this is why marijuana is here to stay.
