California's surplus pot exports put its legalization plan at risk with the Feds

California produced at least 13.5 million pounds of marijuana last year — five times more than the 2.5 million pounds it consumed.

Where did all that extra pot go?

The answer, experts say, is that much of it ended up in other states — some where marijuana is still illegal.

As California prepares to allow cannabis sale for recreational use, that surplus has become a problem.
