Approximately 950,000 plants from nearly 350 growing operation sites were seized with the cooperation of the Campaign Against Marijuana Planting, which dates back to 1983 and is America's largest anti-marijuana organization.
State officials claim that illegal growers are doing severe harm to local wildlife and ecosystems, noting that many of the illegal grow sites have dammed or diverted public water streams into their land for irrigation purposes. They also including dump fertilizer toxins such as carbofuran, methyl parathion and aluminum phosphate.
"Illegal cannabis grows are devastating our communities," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said."Criminals who disregard life, poison our waters, damage our public lands, and weaponize the illegal cannabis black market will be brought to justice." "Regulators are ambivalent, publicly supporting the value of moving cannabis out of the illicit market and redressing the harms prohibition has done—such as overincarceration of minorities for minor possession offenses—but they have often proved unwilling to allow enough stores and keep regulatory and tax costs low enough to make the legal market competitive," the report said.
This indicated that the legal stuff is not good quality 😅

The drug cartels love CA. Growing marijuana there for them is a win-win. Low criminal penalties for criminals and sanctuary protections for the illegal aliens who grow the marijuana. CA is a criminal aliens dream!
But I thought marijuana was legal in the state of California? Marijuana is not completely legal and that's why there is a Black Market
You mean nanny state taxes don’t work? Shocking. 🙄
