Marijuana grown legally in America is flooding into MEXICO where trendy new strains including 'Bubba Kush' and 'Girl Scout Cookies' are selling at a 300% premium

•   Experts say the amount of legal weed entering Mexico from the US is quickly outpacing that which is traveling the other direction

•   Trendy US strains are being sold for 300 percent above market value in Mexico, dealers say

•   'They want to be seen smoking the best stuff, the stuff rappers brag about smoking,' one dealer said

•   One California dispensary owner estimated that more than half of his weed is consumed in Mexico

•   The shift poses a daunting problem for border patrol agents in both countries who have for decades been focused on drugs entering the US, not leaving it

Marijuana grown legally in the US is flooding into Mexico at unprecedented rates amid skyrocketing demand for trendy American strains like 'Girl Scout Cookies' and 'Alaskan Thunderf***' that are sold for massive premiums south of the border. 

Buying and selling marijuana is illegal in Mexico - though the country remains one of the highest producers of cannabis worldwide and for decades been America's biggest supplier - but not anymore.

Mexican lawmakers decriminalized smoking and approved licenses for the cultivation and sale of the plant back in March, but the bill still hasn't passed the Senate.

After decades of the Mexican government's F the Yankees attitude and allowing the drug smugglers unhindered passage to the US border area, I have a hard time being sympathetic with the predictable consequences of their inaction. This is comparatively minor, though the irony is rich.

Ah, this won't really affect the bottom line of Mexico's death dealers, they still have heroin, oxy, cocaine, fentanyl, etc. to lay waste to the Norteamericanos. All part of the reconquista plan, or so they think, China will never let them have America.

Don't know why anybody's surprised at what's happening.

It's a textbook example of competition in Capitalism bringing forth a better product.

At 75 years old and an alumni of 'Woodstock', the Mexicans and Columbians have been selling us their HOMEGROWN crap for generations.

Now that marijuana is virtually legal, the hundreds or even thousands of strains are what gets you the opportunity to experience "Girl Scout Cookies"..."Garlic Cookies"..."G-6"..."Birthday Cake"..."Wedding Cake" ???
