You know that if legalization ever happens in California, the next day Trader Joe's will come out with "Trader Cheech's Two-Buck Kush," and that'll be the end of profitability.

Nice article-- but I've never bought "hedgefund guy"'s argument. The only people who will grow their own weed are the same kinds of people who roll their own tobacco cigarettes. The vast majority of people will be happier to put in less effort and get a consistent product at the corner store. Guaranteed.

@kimberlydebarge: Exactly. Hardly any of my friends can keep a fucking spider plant alive.

I am so uncool that I've never smoked, but if I did, I couldn't be arsed to grow it, first. I can hardly delay gratification enough to grow tomatoes every summer.

Also, I'm kind of hoping that the above picture is an American Apparel ad. I'd feel kind of sorry if someone were dressed head to toe like one of Dov's Angels out in public by choice.

Sure, go ahead and tax it and just legalize it federally while you're at it. It's far less harmful to society and one's health than alcohol.

@VoxPopuli: I like drinking. I think that all that pot does is foul up the taste of a really awesome brownie. Can't we have both?

@ChillbearLatrigue: Sure - actually, I don't do either, but I think both should be legal. Alcohol is already legal and I wasn't calling for banning it.

Yeah, yeah - I know, Prohibition. I can't see that happening today, so no worries about the demise of happy hour.
