A handful of California cannabis manufacturers and brands have begun selling their products directly to customers through their websites, effectively bypassing traditional brick-and-mortar retail shops and delivery companies that have long been the gatekeepers to marijuana consumers.

Some retailers are unhappy about the direct-to-consumer development, however, and say they feel cheated. But insiders say they expect the practice will spread quickly to other states that also allow home delivery. The only question is when.

Cannabis grown in California is some of the best in the world. Mexicans are demanding California grown cannabis that drug dealers in Mexico have been forced to source from the States, according to WaPo. They're labeling the cannabis "IMPORTADO" and charging a hefty markup.
