On January 21, 1970, Leary received a ten-year sentence for his 1968 offense, with a further ten added later while in custody for a prior arrest in 1965, for a total of 20 years to be served consecutively. On his arrival in prison, he was given psychological tests used to assign inmates to appropriate work details. Having designed some of these tests himself (including the “Leary Interpersonal Behavior Inventory”), Leary answered them in such a way that he seemed to be a very conforming, conventional person with a great interest in forestry and gardening.[108] As a result, he was assigned to work as a gardener in a lower-security prison from which he escaped in September 1970, saying that his nonviolent escape was a humorous prank and leaving a challenging note for the authorities to find after he was gone

    There’s pot shops all over Washington state. They don’t generally tolerate nonsense and respect the neighborhood they operate out of. I have not heard of any shops causing news worthy problems outside of financial. The shops always have a nice low profile vibe.

      When my state legalized I recall tons of ‘predictions’ about dispensaries being some sort of crime dens, but it turns out the crime dens are really stores like Walmart and Target as they have police there multiple times a day to arrest people for stealing and people don’t really rob dispensaries because the product is so cheap and accessable.

      That’s what I told her. I’m in Oregon and she’s in Minnesota. I think it’s just new and different for her. She’s afraid of an “unwelcome element” coming into her suburb 🙄.
