Maybe they're laundering it as pistachio sales. Does anyone even eat pistachio ice cream anymore?
Cannabis is sold with little value added; outside of the growing edibles and CBD market, it's mostly still sold as loose buds. Therefore, the crop value would be closer to the street value than tobacco, which is bought on the consumer level as value-added products like cigarettes or chew, not to mention the high tobacco taxes that come with being sold legitimately rather than in the black market.
