  1. I always see these clips of the lines of people around the building waiting to get in and the little interviews they give and think of how many of them have clearly been using cannabis since the outlaw days, in fact they often say how great it it is to not be considered a criminal anymore. But all those people used to get their stuff from someone. It was usually a buddy or a coworker, a guy with a legit job who moved a few ounces or pounds to a few friends to make ends meet, it wasn't all street corner deals with gun toting strangers. It was was experience, a hang, you'd check out his wares up close and get a good whiff, sample a little together and catch up, maybe he'd toss you a few extra grams now and then or spot you a small 20 if you were on hard times. Now we go to a store and wait in line and get a little container we can't see or smell through and hope we like it (not to mention the taxes and costs…). Many of those guys have transitioned to the legal market, which is good, but the budtender experience is a much different thing. Yes, we've gained a lot, legalization is a good thing, but we've also lost some things. To be fair that also occasionally included waiting on the "I'll be there in 20 minutes" guy for 2 hours in a Taco Bell parking lot. Anyway, just a shout out to all the former dealers, know you were appreciated when you were needed. True American heroes.

  2. This is bs. Why do 2 blue cities determine the direction of the state? Here's to increased crime and drug trafficking. Cheers 🍻 Thanks for ruining our state.

  3. Toxic GMO Marijuana being market all over the World is bad for the People as a whole, we need to start learning about the real nature of plants and how man interferes with natural plants in order to create his on Hybrid GMO plants that are unnatural and un beneficial to all people and will cause health problems in the end. Only Natural plants that are wildly grown from Mother Nature are beneficial to everyone on this Planet Earth.

  4. Now tell us the tax breakdown, what the city/states takes, and how it is recirculated back into the economy for good. What is the A to Z?
