If…
California grew 12,800,000 pounds of Cannabis last year; and
Only 1,400,000 pounds was licensed; and
Say 3,800,000 pounds was consumed inside the state; therefore…
California exported 9,000,000 pounds out of state in 2024.

Much of it no doubt accounted for he so-called “THCa hemp” market, which is actually high-grade marijuana.
But there is also international demand for Cali Weed, and domestic markets will pay a premium for it.
