Congrats California, cannabis is now legal for adult use!!!

So here's to the one guy who didn't have a medical weed card for "anxiety". Steve, you can buy it legally in a few hours. Party on!






I just feel bad for all those "dr.'s" who made weed card recommendations who are now out of $50 bucks and a job.





Don't smoke it all up Cali, y'all have to save enough to mail it to the rest of the USA (like you've been doing for the past several years).

The main thing is it will save us money on less prison sentences.

The prices have steadily increased to where it is 50-60 an 1/8 plus tax which leaves you out the door at like 72-75 per 1/8th

For someone who paid 40 an eoith for years i almost fell over the last time they gave me the total.

Not sure the growers can keep up with the demand right now. That said if these prices continue there will eventually be a black market. Too much money there to be had.

And they haven't done anything meaningful yet.

The State douche canoes don't care what the will of The People is regarding anything.
