1. It's always been available.

Legalization has not tanked the prices in states like Arizona and California. It has increased tax revenue.

2. I believe the idea is that legal cannabis sellers don't take credit cards

Cause the banks won't let them use their services.

4. The "sellers" are cash rich

and in need of a safe place to invest. States need revenue.

If I could wave my wand and eliminate alcoholic beverage consumption, I would. History, as I read it, indicates that the "soft drug" battle was lost before the written word.

6. My friends who had legal grows rented secured storage near Salem to store money to pay their taxes

stories of farmers getting robbed at tax time (of money, not weed) worried everyone because it was easy to discover these farms and no one could afford armed security.

3. Oregon's small grower industry is gone

people I worked with for 15 years, an awesome economy and jobs(some under the table) and a real workers community decimated, gone. last year the price bottomed out at $500/lb. We let outside investors in, we are idiots up here.

7. Small price to pay

for legalization. Thousands will no longer face criminal records and jail time.

And who is complaining about lower prices? It’s a weed. It should be as cheap as corn.

10. It's more complicated?

Good cannabis requires care and expenses.

Naturally growing outside or Land Race strains tend to be not ideal & harsher to smoke, but at times I would love to pay CORN prices, then again, I have it down to about 50 cents a dose, how much is a good quality ear of corn now?

5. "Time for the Senate to act"

It's about money. It's all the republicans will act on.


But Yea, glad this is happening. One step closer to full legalization and an end to the war on human consciousness.

8. And therein lies the problem!

I’m thinking this is a no go with Bitch McConnell. Hope I’m wrong! 😦

9. if the stores would reimburse each custy for the ATM service charge....

..i would use the machine all the time in the shop. As it is I have to look for cash in my purse or run by the bank each time i want to buy something. But AT LEAST I no longer have to go buy it in an alley..or from the neighbor kid.
