Federal cannabis eradication efforts are focused on California, where more cannabis plants are destroyed each year than in all other states combined. Between 2009 and 2015, two-thirds (64%) of the cannabis plants eradicated were in California, totaling more than 29 million plants over the seven years. The pending vote to legalize adult cannabis use could significantly reduce federal eradication expenditures in the state, as legalization will not only make it easier to identify illicit producers, but also the demand for illicit cannabis will fall as consumers transition to the legal market.
