There's a boatload of difference between organized crime importing or creating hundreds of thousands of dollars of harder drugs like heroin, cocaine, etc and your basic pot dealer who only deals with a few pounds and deals to people he/she's met.

The problem is that your small time dealer and organized crime are the same thing... one doesn't work without the other, so yeah generalizing is somewhat necessary. There is absolutely no way you can tell me exactly where your pot comes from and the steps it took to get to you unless you grow it yourself. with that said, your little pot dealer is just the end result of a dangerous business. If you don't agree with that then I would ask you this, if you had a child, would you want them to hang out with the little drug dealer at the store?

Unfortunately the answer is yes to all of these questions
