Heck, we have a town of 8,000 and at least 7 or 8 pot stations that I know of. The county has about 40,000 and I can’t count the number of pot stations.

I ran into one guy who got out of the grow business. He said because of the taxes. I suspect because of something else. Threats maybe?

Well, I guess the good news is that Oklahoma made the headlines for something other than:

Tornadoes
Under paid teachers and over paid administrators
McGirt
Gambling
Stitt’s mis-guided war against the Indians and tilting at windmills
Hobby Lobby?

Hopefully the new show will be short lived but I doubt it. The sheeple seem to thrive on this junk.

"Better call Charlie Chan."

Back on June 27, 2008, Fox Movie Channel banned Charlie Chan movies, after complains from Asian American groups that the fictional Chinese detective was portrayed in the movies as a racially offensive stereotype. They lifted their ban and restarted airing the films on September 13, 2008. Quote from article: "To mollify Asian American groups, the network will feature 'a panel of prominent Asian Americans representing film history, sociology, authors and actors' who will 'address racial stereotypes, the casting of non-Asians in Asiatic roles and race relations in America' before each of the four scheduled movies, according to a network press release."

Even Charlie Chan got cancelled.

Quirky factoid:

Oklahoma went from arresting people caught with rolling papers and no tobacco on hand, for possession of drug paraphernalia, to full on industrialization of marijuana cultivation, in possibly the quickest drug policy turnaround of all time- yet remains the reddest state in the nation.

So is booze.. I remember coming out of a blackout once with a fire place poker in my hand threatening to bash my girlfriends head in.

Thank God 32 years later I don’t live that way anymore. One day at a time.

“were all Asian”

What a stupid description. Asia is a continent. Not a “race” Asia... Was he Russian? Tajik? Mongolian? Han? Karen? Hmong? Viet Minh? Nepalese?

But then they say “Chinese” interpreter.

Market is saturated in Colorado. Parachute has a like a Mile of Pot Clubs, many of which are out of business. Okay, maybe a quarter mile, but still too many. When these clubs opened, they relied on out of state tourist trade.

Now there of pot club chain stores operating there, and in California. But in big cities the demand for pot in the marketplace is rapidly being filled by home delivery services. Who wants to use fuel to drive to a horrible part of town and pay more for the product?

As one who was formerly in the processing industry (equipment manufacturing) there were zero Chinese working in Oregon hemp and pot farms in the “Golden Triangle.” It was almost exclusively grubby white “trimmigrants.”

Trimmigrants. That right there is funny. I remember my days in the Pacific NW (Seattle) in the early 90s were dominated with rainforest skunk. Still like that up there, or is it more the multiple strain scenario?
