( fools day, anyone else see the irony) in the first twelve hours of legalization the government received one million orders averaging fifty bucks apiece, ( people are already getting their noses bent out of shape over the increased cost. the street dealers are still a better deal) but even with this reality, they cleared a cool 50 million dollars right out of the gate. for my part i do not believe much will change, the people who have always used, , will continue to do so, a handful of people in their 30,s 40,s and older who never tried it will be curious and end up scaring the crap out of themselves and never touching it again. like the two cops who ate some edible thc brownies and ended up having to be talked down out of a tree. oh yeah, true story. so the great experiment, as those who have their doubts like to say, begins, but with legalization, as the proponents point out, comes regulation, and the government will do what it does best, and regulate pot and make it nice and tidy, and most of all, profitable. welcome to new amsterdam, home of the red eye cafe. interestingly they threw a party to celebrate the legalization and it wasn't lost on anyone that since no actual legal pot has been distributed to the public all the celebratory weed being smoked at this gathering was black market. what could go wrong.

FistOfStone in reply to theKnaveofNevermore: very nice song, and - pardon the phrase - a tragic event ... r.i.p. gord |
