Cheers erupted from the crowd outside Cannabis City when Greene emerged and held her two paper bags aloft. She was the opening act in a low-key celebration that also featured City Attorney Pete Holmes buying two packages of OG’s Pearl, one for posterity and one, he said, for “personal enjoyment.”Why the fuck is Warshington State weed metric? I always used to buy my weed (before I joined the military) in good American eighths of an ounce.
While Tuesday was all about people joyously marking history, only five stores in the state opened. Operators of several others that had hoped to open said they couldn’t secure scarce supply, as most licensed growers haven’t yet harvested crops. “There are going to be bumps on the road as we veer away from the failed drug war,” Holmes said.
Not much can be concluded from the first weeks of legal sales in Washington, said former state pot consultant Mark Kleiman. “If you want to see what this is going to look like in real life, you have to wait until after the harvest,” said Kleiman, a UCLA professor and drug-policy expert.
Because the state has licensed only about one-quarter of the 2 million square feet it has allotted for farming, supply should remain short for a while and prices high. Inside Cannabis City Tuesday, pot was selling for $20 per gram, all taxes included.

But the weed stores don't have any weed. Is this because Warshington is like Soviet Russia, where pot stores stone you?
Hopeful marijuana buyers started lining up outside Freedom Market in Kelso around noon Tuesday, the time the shop planned its grand opening. But by late evening, not a single gram had been sold.So, I guess everyone's still calling their dealers.
Freedom Market still had no weed.
The 1½-pound shipment finally rolled in about 9 p.m., and employees scrambled to get the product counted and ready to sell to the line of customers by 9:20 p.m. They sold almost a pound by midnight, and by Wednesday afternoon were nearly sold out, employees said.
About a pound is expected to arrive Thursday morning, but with such high demand, it likely won’t last long. The store might not have enough weed to keep regular hours for a while, said owner Kathy Nelson.
“We’ll just have to roll with it until it levels out,” she said.

I'll stay on the black market, thank you very much. Last I checked, I can get better weed for about $50-60 a quarter from homeboy's grow house.
I remember talking to a friend who said it should be legalized and have the shit taxed out of it. I said I agreed it should be legal, but why tax the shit out of it? He said something about raising revenue for the state. So basically he didn't have a good answer, just repeating the party line without thinking it through.
A woman asked me to sign the petition to get it on the ballot. In her canned speech she mentioned if it is legal we could keep it out of the hands of kids. I rolled my eyes and asked if we would keep it out of kids hands the same way we do alcohol? She said, no, it would be much tougher to get.
The real answer to all of this is people just want to use it without getting in trouble. Every other reason is bullshit.
The Laffer Curve is laffing right now.
Simple fact, case closed, and end of discussion.
But you save money when you buy in bulk!!!!1 Don't you know anything??! ROFL!
