I didn’t see any for $40 per oz, but I’m not surprised. There are probably eight stores within 20 miles of me, so the market may be getting saturated.

Smoked one humpers for 15 years then I quit cold turkey. The first three days It was like having the flu. Constant malaise, unable to distract myself from wanting a cigarette thoughts. The imposing urges eventually and gradually became easier to ignore but lasted for over two years.
Smoked pot nightly for years. Whenever I travel I forget about it the first night.

I guess ambition has nothing to do
with running a business. If you’re
not out there trying your best to
make sure your livelihood succeeds,
your probably not going to make it.
Everyone has the same opportunities
as the next guy.

The taxes that come from pot sales are theft by the government. They effect the poor most of all!

"I guess she thinks pot should be like casino gambling, with a racial entitlement for getting into the business" dispensed freely to all by the taxpayers who are willing to work. Fixed it.

AOC is the Gift That Keeps On Giving.
What I enjoy is that she has blown the lid off of the thin-veiled anti white America bigotry of the politically correct and the social justice warriors.
It’s something that the Democrat leadership and their useful idiots in the Republican party have worked hard to keep under wraps for years, and here is blabbermouth Ocasio-Cortez making it so obvious that even the willfully blind can’t ignore it.

“Were does she come up with this crap?”
Her chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti encourages it. Like AOC he is a living argument for ending 3rd world immigration.

...If the majority of people willing to get into this business are white and male, is that really discrimination?... Being in Oregon where it has been a legal business for many years, the way it works is that there is a cadre of seasoned illegal growers who try to move to the legal business. But, the old illegal system they knew provided both price support and competition suppression through the legal system.
So, the successful new entrants are eating their lunch. Forgotten in all this is are the wannabes from the days of prohibition who think the price will remain high and anyone can grow dollars in their back yard. They are losing money and quitting.
The business is color blind -- a true meritocracy. When AOC's people get left out it is because of their abilities, not their race.
To: Pelham
I thought AOC ethnicity was PR?

So - why not trace the Opium Trade back to its origins and place blame for "commercial profiteering" where that's due, as well?

81 percent are white. Sounds like whites are under represented since black make up about 13% of the population
