How’s it growing folks? Welcome to the latest episode of Here Weed Go! the podcast dedicated to covering cannabis in all of it’s forms! I’m your host Eddie Celaya, cannabis writer here at the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson, Arizona.

This episode begins Here Weed Go!'s seasonal focus on election-related issues affecting cannabis, the cannabis industry and those who consume cannabis in one way or another.

Our topic this week is the nation's southern border with Mexico: Where once marijuana poured across the border by the ton, now the flow is barely measured in pounds. What’s responsible for that drop-off, and what have the consequences been?

To help give context to cannabis and it’s relationship with the southern border I’m welcoming my guest Curt Prendergast, the Opinion and Editorial Page editor here at the Daily Star.

Prendergast touches on the methods smugglers used to get marijuana and other illicit drugs into the country and the precipitous drop in marijuana trafficking since the implementation of medical and recreational marijuana programs here in the U.S.
