Marijuana legalization in the United States has prompted an unusual shift in the black market drug trade—marijuana is now being smuggled south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

It appears Mexican residents are chomping at the bit to get their hands on American-grown marijuana because it is vastly superior to the ditch weed being sold by the cartels.

A report from KPBS suggests that Tijuana residents with visas or dual citizenship have been driving into California, where weed has been legal for medical purposes for nearly two decades, and smuggling small amounts back home. It is a practice that is expected to intensify if California voters approve an initiative in the upcoming November election to legalize the leaf for recreational use.

“If you’re in Mexico, and you want the best marijuana out there, there’s only one place to get it,” attorney Matthew Shapiro, who specializes in cannabis law, told the news source.

13. My mom always had the good shit from the Jamaicans

My first was like traveling the universe, so fucking bizzarre I watched Lion King and laughed all night. The 90s were awesome. I met 'stress' weed later. Not impressed. At all. I was like, "this is weed? No wonder you have to stuff it into a cigar to make it work."

Hey! Guess what?!? I think we have a store opening up this week or next week. They handing out samples. I am super excited!!!! I'll wait to see what folks say, I keeps me a stash on hand. I'll get me an edible and post a picture of it to show it off. Plus weed.
