The Beginning Of The End Of Prohibition

[Mr.Bill]

69. They got the go ahead in California

to start gathering signatures to put it on the ballot. The biggest opposition, ironically, comes from those making a fortune growing it illegally now. They have become a very wealthy status quo and they throw their money against legalization. As they say, follow the money.

Speaking of money, it will be interesting to see where the prices settle in Colorado and Washington in the next year or so. I realize that prices that have been reported in the last few days are inflated due to the novelty and excitement of it all, but they are double the street prices here. By the way, I live in a northern California county that is possibly the #1 producer in the state. They busted a couple people here on Christmas day with 980 lbs. There are probably thousands of people here growing as much or more. They are not growing for medicinal purposes. They are selling it all over the western states. I'll bet a good amount of the stuff in Colorado's stores came from here. Frankly, I don't use it much, but I haven't paid for it in years. It's so plentiful people give small amounts of it to me. You know, "Hey, try this."
