you blamed prohibition on the CURRENT state of the market. explain your THEORY then. i can't think of ANY rational excuse other than greed or obstinance for total afghani domination in illicit markets. if you don't like what i have to say, then just mute me as your condescending tone isn't going to sit well with ME much longer and i'll "lalalalalala!" you myself.
in a prohibition market, when you are trying to get a product smuggled against the police and shit, it causes sellers to look for something that gives more bang for the buck for a smaller space.
its the same reason why poppy instead of being known for opium is now known for heroin, because heroin packs more punch for the same weight, so it is preferred to smugglers.
the SAME concept, applies to cannabis. indica and afghanis pack a stronger punch in the same weight, thus are more desired.
you can blame greed all you want, but greed would actually prefer sativa to be in the balance, as it could be made money from as an exquisite item. whereas afghani type weed would be more of a generalized item.
either way, the reason it is souly prohibitions fault is this: without the fear produced by law enforcement, causing smugglers to want something smaller that packs a bigger punch so they can sell more and carry less, the selling of weed would be a very different thing.
if there were equal opprotunity branding, an actual LEGALIZED market (don't tell me we have anything remotely legalized now, medical marijuana is decriminalized at best, nowhere near a regulated economic system), sativa would have as much of a chance as the consumers would give it, and the greed would be INDIFFERENT to which one is which, they only care about supply and demand. and because of the whole smuggler mentality, indica will inevitably be more popular UNTIL we can actually ship shit without worrying about fitting as much as we can into a certain package without getting caught.
if that doesn't make any sense to you, I'm done with you, and I will go LA LA LA LA to YOU.
