Bulletproof, highly discreet vehicles are transporting marijuana in Michigan

[safeinOhio]

INKAS makes the cannabis transport trucks using Ford Transit vans, offering them in various sizes, payload capacities and configurations. It uses models 150, 250 and 350 for small-to-medium companies, and Ford Transit 350HD models for larger companies. In most cases, the vehicles start at $65,000, Yurovitsky said.

1. I was going to say that how do they pay their drivers? ...

Extra bags of pot afterwards? A couple of free breaths while in the back? Nope, got special inhalers/ventilators to prevent excessive buildup of fumes. I thought that the feds still consider this to be illegal, so why the elaborate transportation vehicles? Most pot I would assume is grown in the states where it is either legal due to medical reasons, or for recreational reasons.

2. Even if legal I suspect they don't want hijackings.

3. Pot grown in one part of state needs transport to another part of the state for processing, perhaps.

And/or packaged pot needs to get to all the stores where it can be sold.
Western states are pretty big. Much cooler climate on the West Coast part, plenty of sun for growing on the eastern side, with mountain ranges between the 2 areas.
