Marijuana is sold by weight; this might have something to do with it.
Producing high-quality consumable marijuana is a bunch of work. You have to be careful to separate the female plants, prune low THC content leaves and stems from the flowering buds, etc; the cartels don't seem to put this much work into the cannabis they grow.
Cartel marijuana often has tons of leaves, stems, and seeds in it. It's earned the name "Mexican ditch weed."
