The gangsters aren't actually part of the community, they've just been taking advantage of the situation for decades. They've been tolerated because they existed in a sort of grey area, and the cannabis trade represented some sort of rebellious attitude towards the establishment, plus it attracted a lot of tourists, and tourist money, to the local businesses.

However in recent years all the immigrant gangsters have been playing shoot-em-up and ruining things for everyone (go figure), and so the community came together and decided - by unanimous vote - to collaborate with the authorities to eliminate the trade altogether.
