If you want to smoke, just smoke. No one gives a shite [/quote]That's probably largely true. But that doesn't take away the use of the overly stringent laws as a threat for the powerful to use against the less powerful. Yeah, smoke if you want t...
Biden finally moves to re-schedule marijuana?
Posted by Big Scrub TX on 4/30/24 at 1:51 pm
[quote]The Biden administration is working on a plan to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, people familiar with the matter said, a potentially historic move that could make it much easier to buy and sell pot and make the multibillion-dollar industry more profitable.

[quote]I think the rise in activity from institutional investors into SFHs is worth monitoring but I think it's more of a local market issue. It Atlanta is having an issue with it (which they are) then let GA pass laws.

[quote]The 82 million number really is misleading because these institutional investors aren't everywhere. They are not in most places.
But the places they are, they are very influential on supply/demand and market prices.
It's like saying there are only 987 Whataburgers in the US, but there a...
