Dont attribute it to me!

I didn't - I left the quotation mark in.

"Any fatality above zero is one fatality too many" is as true of alcohol as of pot.

Maybe - or maybe it's too low.

“Which, if true, proves what?”

““Colorado transportation and public safety officials, however, say the rising number of pot-related traffic fatalities cannot be definitively linked to legalized marijuana.”

“If that’s the solution for those people, it’s the solution for pot users - not a ban on that which they misused. “

Nevermind. You favor government banning meth.

https://www.codot.gov/library/traffic/safety-crash-data/fatal-crash-data-city-county This is a source but I did not find the other page. Cell phones, drugs, inexperienced drivers are causing more accidents. The radio has a piece on more accidents also.

Just like banks and casinos. An attractive nuisance.

Sounds like pot shops are all in bad areas.

Wonder how the black market is doing.

Something really bothers me about these pot houses. Like for every legal one, there's an illegal one.....two doors away.

What to do with all the cash is a problem worth having...better than nobody shops at your business

Eventually marijuana stores will get regular banking access

And insurance and title

Title is the big one for folks wanting to own their property whether a grow house or farm or warehouse or green house or stand alone store etc

And insurance on equipment..contents as they say

SWIM got a farm mortgage approved in legal Michigan for a land and home greenhouse property with all the state pot cops paperwork for medical....before Michigan went recreational

At the last minute the bank said we can’t get title because Chicago Land and Title the nations largest title company won’t write title for marijuana properties regardless if legal paperwork in tow or not

And as Chicago Land and Title goes so goes the industry

So SWIM paid cash for the farm and home

But in Michigan the insurance company did insure after inspecting the property

SWIM asked a friend in the Santa Barbara area who comes from the land of dikes and legal pot and tulips how they deal with all this...he runs America’s largest by far greenhouse pot farm that supplies dispensaries everywhere....120-240 acres under roof....greenhouses and total climate control and does light deprivation and pulls continuous harvests year round

He banks with a Dutch bank and always has....and said Dutch bank has a corresponding department under Deutsch Bank in Los Angeles

I’m not surprised at all!

Here in Florida, there have been zero issues with crime in and around our medical cannabis dispensaries!

Probably the licensed open carry security people they all keep on site all day every day!

And a good bullshitter is good for very little!

Been a medical cannabis user since 2015 & my life has been immensely improved for doing so!

“And a good bullshitter is good for very little!”

Which of my statements do you disagree with?


The good gun owner is an asset to society.
The good Stoner is a debit to society.

Selling at lower prices than the pot shops.

The latter, of course. I was mentally ill to the point I was unemployable.

Since I began using cannabis in 2015 every aspect of my life has immensely improved. I have been gainfully employed for over a year now. Thriving as a daily medical cannabis user. On zero pharma meds after taking their poison as prescribed for over 20 years.
