Short Supply

by Lee — Friday, 8/16/13, 8:28 am

Hempfest starts today. I’ll be down at the “protestival” all day tomorrow (Saturday). Seattle PD’s tongue-in-cheek efforts to do public education with tasty snacks has gotten a lot of attention. But as Slate points out, 1000 bags of Doritos doesn’t go very far in a festival that generally sees over 200,000 attendees. Somehow this feels like foreshadowing of what the first weekend that pot stores open in the state will feel like.

    You mean a run on Doritos and Cheetos at the 7-11?

    Silly LS: Lee means there may not be enough “legal” bud for sale when the stores open up after the 1st of the year.

    I’m really looking forward to purchasing a sampler! Some nice buzzy sativa would hit the spot (as opposed to the couch-lock indica shit we’re subjected to now)!

    And Lee, in case someone hasn’t told you in a while, thanks for all you do to keep us informed.

    “Some nice buzzy sativa would hit the spot…”

    I too, am intrigued by the chance to try different, correctly labeled varieties. Several people have told me about “buzzy sativa” but it’s hard to credit; a bud which doesn’t make you tired and give you that irony-poor blood feeling? Perhaps I will get a chance to try it.

    Way back in the day a buddy of mine was the manager of the carwash directly across the street from the fair grounds in Puyallup. They people constantly trying to barter weed in exchange for a car wash. Legalization has left me wondering if weed as a bartering tool is going to be come more or less prevalent.
