And grocery stores certainly aren’t buying fake olive oil, or selling garbagefish as fine fish, or buying cartel avocados, or fake honey, or…

Never would a bar sell you a counterfeit whisky!

And surely no one would sell fraudulent cancer medications!

And your legal storefront couldn’t sell fake vape carts! The drug cartels would never participate in such schemes!

They 100% are at least in California more specifically LA and Orange counties. I have personally witnessed it.

LA is full of illegal dispensaries. I have no doubt that they sell illegal carts.

But actual regulated dispensaries are not, it would be too easy for them to get caught.

During the last scandal around tainted vape carts, they did not trace a single one back to an actual dispensary, but did trace a number to illicit dispensaries in LA.

It is worth noting though that LA has a staggering number of unlicensed/illegal dispensaries. This article puts 4 in 5 as illegal in LA area [0]. This is not true of NorCal.
