Duuuude! You’re harshing my cash flow, man.
Maybe they will mandate pot use for all Californians and pee-test for compliance.
Certainly none will make it across the Sierras to make up the shortage being seen in NV. I mean it’s against the law to do that right? ;0)
Too much pot? Is that like having too much money? Or too much sex?
But seriously folks, the answer is simple. Tax it.
Basic Economics 101 teaches us that if want LESS of something, tax MORE of it.
LOL, so this is how Brown gets away with taxing and taxing ,everyone is so high they have no clue what’s going on
Well, that’s one way to put the Mexican cartels out of business, crash the market via massive overproduction. Busted, lol.
let them export to Mexico and flood THEIR markets with cheap weed. It could be fun to watch.
Calif. , ..... Has been in a downward spiral for decades, and-.... is past the point of no-return.
I would rather go to Detroit , -than go to Calif.
They did it to themselves.
Just burn the excess in the open. It’s bound to make more addicts.

And the penalties will probably be even harsher, since NOTHING makes a government angry than tax evasion.
Like vinters with too much wine, they’ll turn it into extract (like the butane-isobutane “wax” and “shatter” products) and warehouse it.
Then there are tinctures and infusions. This won’t go to waste I’m sure.
8 times the amount smoked? Time to go full FDR and pay Californians to not grow pot, store the extra in warehouses and give it away with free government cheese.
Send it to me. Dirty hippies, I’ll burn their crops.

Remember the Parquait weed killer fear from 40 years ago? They began to offer free tests to see if the MJ was tainted with it.
