I’m thinking about opening a Cheetos® and snack store there.

[P8riot]

Something tells me that it already is.

So, if it’s in calibfornia, does that mean they can only ship to destinations in calibfornia? Just wondering since it is still illegal federally but not locally, so crossing state lines is a violation?

Hmm, makes it interesting. WA,OR and CA are marijuana zones so going from one legal state to another is illegal?

[Big Red Badger]

Town is going to Pot....
Cool.

[Lazamataz]

We saw what happens when Nipton, CA becomes a decadent mecca of barbarian sin. Caeser’s Legions burn it to the ground. Ave!

Never heard of Nipton, so I looked it up. It’s FAR Eastern San Bernardino County. On the Nevada border.

[Parley Baer]

The town is in the Mojave Desert not to far off I15 and the Nevada state line. I was wondering about the water but I see they have a lot of underground water. Also the UPRR runs through there. Oh, and Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight Nevada is not very far from there.

[rktman]

Nevada is now MJ friendly too but I believe it’s illegal to bring it across state lines. Any one?

[a fool in paradise]

How is Big Pot better than Big Tocacco?

[SkyDancer]

So I was just wondering if bordering states that allowed MJ could transfer across state lines. I read that Nebraska/Kansas HWP would wait for people to enter the state from CO and pull them over to see if they have MJ ... not sure what probably cause they’d use to stop folks; car full of kids with a nice mom and dad up front?

[Defiant]

Yikes. Don’t want to see any nips from out there.

[LambSlave]

Lol, my first thought at seeing Nipton, CA was this-— specifically killing Vulpes, which can be a tough fight at the low level you are when you get to Nipton.

[Flycatcher]

Damn shame. I like little Nipton. I've done many bird surveys somewhat near there and always stop there to check out this little pond out back behind the "hotel."

Because it's out in the desert in the middle of nowhere, the pond attracts a lot of avian neotropical migrants in spring and fall. I've gotten some real rarities there on occasion.

Maybe the new potheads will be too stoned to ruin the place... We'll see.

[Rusty0604]

That’s a great business idea! Add nachos, pizza. Doesn’t have to be great food.

[Deplorable American1776]

Interesting...I guess it won’t be family friendly...

[Rusty0604]

It gets you high, and smells better to some people? In other forms, it does have medicinal uses. If you smoke it, the carcinogens are as bad as tobacco.
