Take heart in they haven't said you can do such and such, then weeks later say no, we changed our mind you can't do that. Oh sorry, the lobbyist for somebody important was on vacation when we made that ruling. Now the money and labor spent on making it happen a waste, plus it's now stuck in the customer's mind it's reality. In other words, it could be worse.

So it comes out to about $600 for a legal ounce of marijuana?? Note for legal purposes in MS an ounce of marijuana is 30 gm instead of 28.6 gm.

I'll stick to my whiskey/moonshine. It is a whole lot cheaper.

Yeah, it's nuts. But you have to remember that the law applies a 25% excise tax at each level of the system: from producer to processor, from processor to retailer, and from retailer to customer. In addition, local retail sales taxes apply. That's a mighty heavy tax burden.

We're buying the stuff for $6-7 per gram right now, but that's going to drop a lot once (1) currently licensed growers start harvesting, and (2) the state issues more growing licenses. Right now, there are only about 80 licensed growers; there are another 1800 on the waiting list.

Still, regardless of the price, people are more than happy to stand in long lines for it. Our primary clientele is baby boomers who have't smoked for decades and don't have their own connections. For these folks, even if they wanted some bud, they wouldn't know how to go about getting some, and the whole "it's illegal!" aspect generally stopped them in their tracks. But now that it's legal, they're coming out of their self-imposed pot prison and into the light!

THANK YA, BABY JEEZUS!!!

Sounds like it will work out in the end, Glinda...for EVERYONE!

I posted how I wanted to try some pot and blah blah blah but I lost it. Anyways...as Sarge said, I think I'll stick to my liquor. Cheaper.

The finer things in life, although they can be free, are usually not the cheaper things.

Thanks, IM! Now that my life is sort of stabilizing with an actual job, I'm feeling like it's time to reach out to old friends and catch up.

In my absence, I've been equally much too busy (scrambling for any little odd job that comes along and working my ass off for next to nothing, hocking jewelry, posting for sale ads on Craigslist, holding yard sales, etc.) and far too depressed to post much.

But during that time, I've lurked occasionally and thought about the Cellar and its outstanding collection of interesting, clever personalities often. Particularly over the course of the last few months, because . . .

I HAVE A NEW COCK!!!



Please say hello to Norman. Norman Cocks. He's a Silver Gray Dorking. *snort!* Unusually high in entertainment value and oddly suitable for mass Cellarite appreciation.

glatt...it has to be said. You have very knobbly knees.

Hi Glinda! All sounds pretty cool. And there's nothing quite like a nice new cock after all

I've never smoked it. Though, I hear it does work well in some PTSD studies. Lookout for that rooster! They are the most evil & spiteful creatures in the world. When my daughters aren't around, I have to wear a motorcycle helmet and carry a tennis racket for protection in the back yard. I swear, one day I will get my revenge on that rooster
