Burner Distros – How Thousands of Pounds of Legally Grown Cannabis Ends Up on the Illicit Market

What is a “burner distro” and how is that helping to put literally tons of legally grown and state-licensed weed on the illicit market?  While it always seemed large MSO’s had massive grow capabilities to grow way more cannabis than their dispensaries had paying customers, were they doing that?  If so, what were they doing to the extra stash, no pun intended, they grew? Did it “fall off the back of the truck”? Well, turns out it did, only under a crazy term called “burner distros”.
