Marijuana legalization in the United States has prompted an unusual shift in the black market drug trade—marijuana is now being smuggled south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

It appears Mexican residents are chomping at the bit to get their hands on American-grown marijuana because it is vastly superior to the ditch weed being sold by the cartels.

A report from KPBS suggests that Tijuana residents with visas or dual citizenship have been driving into California, where weed has been legal for medical purposes for nearly two decades, and smuggling small amounts back home. It is a practice that is expected to intensify if California voters approve an initiative in the upcoming November election to legalize the leaf for recreational use.

“If you’re in Mexico, and you want the best marijuana out there, there’s only one place to get it,” attorney Matthew Shapiro, who specializes in cannabis law, told the news source.
