U.S. cannabis shoppers face a market flush with illegal weed
Briefly

Despite the legalization of recreational marijuana in many states, illegal cannabis sales, especially in California, continue to far exceed legal transactions. During a recent operation, California Department of Cannabis Control agents discovered an illegal grow operation that posed health risks due to the use of unapproved chemicals and poor growing conditions. With experienced agents struggling to differentiate between legal and illegitimate products, the cannabis market faces significant issues regarding transparency and accountability, raising concerns for both consumers and regulators.
If it's hard for experienced cops to distinguish regulated weed from black market products, it can be nearly impossible for average consumers.
We're talking about a market that lacks transparency and accountability, emphasizing the need for better regulations in the cannabis industry.
