The legalization of marijuana in California has led a surge in murders, assaults, water theft and corruption in several counties of California.  It is estimated that in one northern California county alone, the cartels have generated nearly fifty-billions dollars ($50,000,000,000) of profits, all of which is untaxed and supported by numerous crimes.  The local authorities are outmanned, out gunned and out lawyered by the cartels, yet the problem is entirely ignored by Governor Newsom and the powers that be in Sacramento.

This video helps to reveal the size and scope of the illegal marijuana industry in only one county of California.
