The amount of pot places that sprung up in San Diego rivaled even our "microbreweries."
Too many places with slick marketing, big buildings, and "artisan pot."
People I know just want to get high - they don't want to make it wine tasting.
And the idea that the market for pot was "untested and unsafe" belies centuries of consumption. No one's buying that.
People want to get high for cheap. The new marketing folks in these business placed the blame on taxes - sounds like a very familiar business complaint.
And the "dream" of getting zillions of dollars from taxing it was just a dream. Just like the lottery.
Un-legalize the commercial aspects of it and stop the lie about taxes on both ends - that taxes kill small businesses and that taxing pot will fix fiscal woes.
