Arkansas State Police continue to seize THC products from out of state.
THC is the main psychoactive substance in marijuana, and some states have legalized these products in hopes to weakening the illicit drug market. But instead, legalization has emboldened drug cartels and other criminals across the country.
On April 4, a State Trooper discovered approximately 650 pounds of mushroom‑based edible gummies and 718 pounds of THC‑infused gummies during a traffic stop on I-40 in Crawford County. The driver told investigators he was traveling from California to Georgia.
Stories like these are all too common in Arkansas. As Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders said last month, “Arkansas sits at the heart of major drug‑trafficking corridors.” Arkansas State Police routinely confiscate illegal marijuana products from Oklahoma and other states.
Despite promises of regulation, oversight, and tax revenue, states that have legalized marijuana still battle organized crime, black market operations, and public safety threats.
Arkansans should remember all of this when it comes to any proposals to expand marijuana. Marijuana may be many things, but “harmless” simply is not one of them.
