    How much weed is that?

    Current price of an oz in the UK, if you know the right person: ~£160 Current exchange rate of $2500: £1,962 1962 / 160 = 12.26 oz per year

    So about an oz a month. I’m happy to pick up the slack for lil’ Timmy.

      Sounds like Whitmer is saying that marijuana is an astonishingly tax lucrative industry when handled correctly.

      Then again probably not that surprising seeing how alcohol taxes were a primary stream of revenue for the US government up until prohibition, when the progressive income tax was literally invented by the prohibitionists to forcefully ween the government off alcohol tax revenues so they could ban the stuff.

      When you’re so single issue the fact that you reformed a major segment of how society operates is literally a side note to what you’re tunnel visioned on.

      weed is VERY cheap in Michigan. An ounce of flower can go anywhere from 60 to 100USD. If you spend a hundred you got something special.

      Well over a pound and a half per year, like killing and 1/8 every two days. I’m out.

        I remain incredibly envious of the decrim in USA of weed. I was lucky enough to visit Seattle in '19, I was like Charlie in the chocolate factory when I visited a dispensary!

        Oz a month is not that much

        I could easily handle an oz a month. Maybe not with my tolerance levels as they are right now :) but that would change very quickly.

        When I used to get through a lot, I was finishing an 8th every couple of days, and that was with some semblance of restraint.
