Summary of early findings
We spent the first hour of research trying to determine whether there is any information available on the illegal marijuana market. While the legal market information is available in the public domain, illegal is not, meaning that all parts of the request cannot be completed.
We are not surprised that the information for the illegal market is not available, as it is primarily an underground market with an incentive not to track transactions.
Due to time constraints, we were only able to provide limited information in the early findings.
