liquor stores close too early. i want to be able to buy pot at 4:20 am. corner stores are a better idea.

but, i've pointed this out before: you will no doubt see high-end pot applications, because it's not just a smokable. in fact, in the long run, i'd expect to see higher market share from beverages and eatables.

in the medium term, expect to see very nice restaurants show up that offer marijuana deserts and wines. and, expect something like the "marijuana marguerita" to be a big hit on the bourgeois patios.

pot has never been about lurking around alleyways. and, a big part of legalization needs to be in abolishing that utterly ridiculous social stigma. it has a place in our culture, and that should be recognized.

Restaurants serving edibles...brilliant!

count on it.

....and marijuana coolers will no doubt become the dominant means of consumption.

Weed has a stigma that is richly deserved. It stinks, it is usually consumed by smoking, which has a sub-stigma all of its own, and it tends to be used by those who are shiftless and act dumb, likely because they are. No "nice" restaurant will want to add weed to their plates if they wish to continue to exist. Hopefully after the initial teenager rush of business is over, the marijuana business will die a natural death because legalization will make it unappealing to the perpetually disaffected, and its use will again be limited only to aging hippies and layabouts.

see, that's a bunch of lunatic fringe nonsense.

i'm actually hoping that legalization reduces alcohol use - because, unlike pot, alcohol actually really does make you stupid when you're under it's influence.
