Mexican Marijuana Farmers Make Switch to Heroin as Pot Prices Fall

Mexican marijuana farmers in the remote valleys of the northern Sierra Madre have begun to harvest opium poppies instead and distribute cheap $4 heroin to many rural areas in America. Wholesale cannabis prices have plummeted from $100 per kilogram to less than $25 over the 5 years for these farmers, in part from some U.S. states implementing cannabis reform policies.
