    Our supply is kept artificially low by overregulation. You need something like a million dollars in liquid money to get the permits to grow commercially and they only give out a handful of licenses per year, ensuring that the rich get richer and everyone else gets fleeced. Still better than Iowa where “any amount” leads to jail time.

      That blows. I’ve heard some people complain similarly here, but the bar seems at least somewhat lower.

      I’m just thrilled I can go to a store with posted hours, rather than calling a guy who says to come to his house and then isn’t there, tells you to wait for him, and two hours later finally shows up to tell you he doesn’t have anything for you.

      (Not that this was my normal experience, but it happened enough to make me despise most dealers.)
