Hope so. Here in the Netherlands we've fallen hilariously behind.
It's illegal to produce weed with the intention to sell, but legal to sell. At the same time it's illegal to have a large inventory. So criminals make large amounts of cash by illegally growing weed. And cops have to waste their time dealing with these guys.
Eventually these guys grow up and start with the more profitable stuff such as cocaine & mdma. Next step is to start ripping off other criminals, threatening local businessmen who dont want to hide your cocaine in their fruit imports...
Probably... Also suspect they fear that these guys will move on to different forms of crime to make money instead. Crime that will actually do more damage to society.
