I have been so caught up in the nuanced and terrifying world of Spice Gold that I totally failed to notice that weed (actual plant-derived weed) might soon become legal in California. Not just for people with made up anxiety disorders but for everyone over 21, and not only legal but taxed like hard liquor!
I suppose taxation is the logical next step and it will provide the economy with some much-needed stimulation, but how weird is that? It’s already so alien the way they sell weed in dispensaries and make it into cute little products like cannibutter and weed-filled gumballs, but now you get to give a little something back to the state every time you toke against it. Twisted! Well, I would be lying if I said this has any impact on my life, but congrats to all the west coast stoners who will soon pay additional taxes.
