More Details

Summary:

A report on the legal marijuana business in California. Proving much less profitable than expected due to strict regulations and a thriving black market, farmers now deal with the backlash of the regulated marijuana market. 60 MINUTES spent a week in the Emerald Triangle, where a Mediterranean climate and rich soil famously account for the production of high quality marijuana. Includes a tour of the Flow Cana factory, where the herb is packaged from legal state-regulated farms to be shipped and sold to licensed stores around California. The regulated market amounting to a fraction of what it was predicted to be is due, in part, to Prop 64. Prop 64 gave towns and cities the power to decide whether marijuana businesses can open locally; with eighty percent voting no, the number of stores is very low and licensed stores are rare. While law enforcement attempts to stake out illegal grows, raids have proved inefficient with black market growers replanting immediately. Includes interviews with Mikey Steinmetz, who runs the Flow Kana Factory; Casey O'Neill, owner of a family farm; Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman; and Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA).
