Certainly to some extent, but not in a major way. The main thing trafficked was Mexican brick weed. In the early 2000s many in the marijuana culture were already growing their own supply with hydroponics and crossbreeding creating much higher yield strains.
So around 2005 you could find a dealer for brick weed (20$ 1/8ths) a dealer for mids (30-40$ 1/8s) and a dealer for kush/dank (50-60$ 1/8ths).
Now the majority of this is being grown locally. I live in a legal recreational state, inittially dispensary prices were higher than street value. This corrected itself and there is parity, and sometimes lower prices at the dispensary.
You cannot find mexican brick weed in legal states in 2025, mostly because why would you want to.
That type of trafficked commodity was on the market due to the dearth of competition, the need to traffic it in bulk and was usually coated in some chemical deodorant. Weed culture even then was very conspicuous and many people wanted to parade the high quality weed, discuss the strains, the hybrid, give it a retarded name like cocopuffs. The brick weed was not viable in a market with above board competition.
As far as the traffickers bottom line it's unlikely to have great negative effects. The amount of money you could make from importing a pound of Mexican brick weed is negligible compared to a pound of cocaine, maybe to the 40th or 50th power. A gram of brick weed had a street value of 10$, a gram of cocaine has a street value of 100$. But the gram of cocaine has typically been cut with other agents such as benzocaine, lidocaine, phenacetin, baby powder, or caffeine. A gram of pure cocaine might be worth 500$ when factoring this in.
Since many states, particularly border states, police marijuana and cocaine with equal punitive measures, the risk of moving a pound of cocaine and a pound of brick weed might be parallel. The risks may be equal but the reward is 50 times higher for the cocaine.
I theorise, was a fucking comic that painted the only intolerants in society as Nazis, ergo non-Nazis could not be intolerant (similarly subverted, the only form of "intolerant" to the Left now is racial/sexual intolerance — intolerance of opinion isn't a thing). So now they created an exception to freedom of speech (Nazis), and so you just have to broaden the definition of Nazi to have anyone they don't like fit within it; if they couldn't make someone fit the new definition, then they'd just unironically legitimise "guilt by association" and boom, now everyone who doesn't side with you is a Nazi. Painting Trump as being a Fascist/Nazi (or that some of his followers are), and the idea that tolerance of said Nazis makes you one in turn by enabling them, you eventually have a left-wing who believes that all of their ideological opponents should not have a space to voice anything because their "kindness" will eventually be their undoing.
You are correct. Their pathos of "the paradox of intolerance" is flawed, to be generous, because their definition of intolerance is an ever-moving goal post where for instance, even questioning the trans agenda would outcast you as "evil" irrespective of your reasoning or validity.
I'm sure their delusions of grandeur have them fail to understand that THEY are paradoxical to their own logic of them being intolerant. I want to give the age old conclusion that it's all by design.
I actually agree with the principle of "parodox of intolerance" at face value. Society should not be expected to tolerant intolerance that interferes with their way of living. I could say that the Left now is falling under their own logic of "paradox of intolerance" since their beliefs are clearly shown to be harmful to American living.
The narrative that the Republicans are creating that the Democrats are the supporters and responsible for all of the illegals criminality imo very good and powerful.
The "which has always been good with me!" parenthetical is pretty funny. Trump is truly not racist. All racists love Trump, but Trump is not racist. The paradox of our time

Pro illegal immigration protests being funded and organized by Walmart is so on the nose it's like something written by that faggot who wrote West Wing.
TIL that the remaining open holdout of the ancient Babylonian giga elite is GLORIOUS ALBANIA.
He's not wrong, the great majority of present elite ruling families are descended from Babylonia but the means of "upgrading" ones lineage can be found in many cultures. The Emperor's of Japan for example were Nephilim. He's just afflicted with the schizo-symbology curse.
I still remember the first days of the chins. It was probably all an intel op from the start but it felt real back then. That was like early early 2000s. Internet still felt real and free and magical. Porn wasn't as good though. 2010s was peak there probably.
