Mexico does start producing cannabis for the American market, the warehouses of Denver may go the same way as the car factories of Detroit: bust, having been undercut by cheaper competition from abroad. And so legalization may turn the cannabis industry full circle: from illegal production in Mexico, to legal production in the United States, and eventually back to Mexico. The only difference will be that the Mexican cannabis farmers will be working for Philip Morris and the like, rather than for the drug cartels.
