I want to be careful how I say this.
With decisions to legalize marijuana, come related decisions of setting up businesses to handle such products.
Not everyone knows how to run a business in the first place.
I know nothing about the legal marijuana business, but assume there are things in common with any business, such as managing cash flow, managing inventory, managing employees, setting prices to maximize profit, etc.
If the majority of people willing to get into this business are white and male, is that really discrimination?
To: MAKOTHEDOG
If a person is inclined to buy this stuff, go back to your local dealer. You will save money.

Exactly. The regular users will buy it for half the price from their regular dealers. It is easier for dealers to operate when it is legal because they can hide in plain sight.

Her partner is a p-whipped red haired soy boy, as white as white can be.
I am sure he constantly virtue-signals by hating his own whiteness.

I didn’t know that.
I wonder if he is also a grower and profiter of marijuanas.

In six weeks, AOC (the Hyphen) has made enemies on both sides of the aisle.

She should get into the bi-partisan “green” business with former Speaker Boehner.

How much do folks want to bet that when Mugabe finally croaks, she’s going to be one of the first, who rushes to eulogise a “Giant Amongst African Leaders?”

The price for legal marijuana here in Washington is way less than the black market price - $140 per oz. at the store ($5 senior discount), $400 plus for the same amount from Lefty the underground pot dealer, if he's still in the game.

$140oz for Top Shelf? Legalized?
I don’t believe it.

It is currently half the cost.
To: Mariner
This bint is a psycho. So to say pot is a white thing at the business end is absurd just as saying the biggest consumer are blacks.

These kinds of stories make me laugh—but not because they’re funny. Because there are no good guys in them. This is the stupid and evil attacking the intelligent and amoral.

Give it time. The drug cartels aren’t going to lose that much market share. Plus, the street dealers can get you coke and H and any other drug you want. Higher margins in those anyway.
