YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

2022 might be the biggest year yet for legal weed. But there are problems.

After decades of the War on Drugs, the cartels are not giving up their hold on the market – and the new legal business is in danger of being taken over by giant corporations.

Who is doing best, and who is doing worst at managing these issues. We decide who gets the News On Drugs trophy for best legal cannabis system.
