Dave? Dave’s not here, man!

Should close all the markets and ban pot.

Exactly. It’s the US Postal Service’s dirty little secret. They ship most of the weed in this country. Because unlike UPS or FedEx who can open your package, USPS needs a warrant. Keep the shipment under a pound or two and USPS turns a blind eye.

some growers reported clearing out their crops for less than $200 per pound

That's about what plain old Mexican weed was going for 50 years ago. Or so I'm told.

Murder and rape in the streets I can see the state not caring but getting gypped out their taxes! Like I say, I’m surprised.

[gundog]

Makes you wonder if some folks are on the take, don’t it?

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

The new definition for a totally hopeless screw-up: Can’t make money selling weed in California.

[Don W]

I seem to remember something like that. $200 a pound for Mexican dirtweed, $240/lb for Colombian, and then there was Thai-stick...

[Vaduz]

No it’s California the utopia dream of endless taxes gone cartel chuckle and set up camps.

Now the state has to make new signs

WELCOME TO MEXIFORNIA

As Ronald Reagan said:
“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

I guess California is at the point of making taxpayers subsidize pot growers.
