QuoteA company which makes cannabis products has bought an entire town in California and plans to turn it into a "destination" for marijuana.

American Green has agreed a deal to buy the town of Nipton for $5m (£3.8m).

The company will own 120 acres of land, which includes a school building, a hotel, mineral baths and a general store.

They also want to power the town with renewable energy.


This is fine by me - I want to move there and get a job as a Mary Jane tester.

That's a really great business idea. I bet it will be enormously profitable for the local economy.

I'm sure--considering the local economy consists of a pop. of 20.:))  And right now it is hot as fucking blue blazes there--might as well be Death Valley (which is close).

Kim Basinger bought a town.  I guess if you have more money than you know what to do with, why not buy a town?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braselton,_Georgia
QuoteThe town is named after Harrison Braselton, a poor dirt farmer who married Susan Hosch, the daughter of a rich plantation owner. Braselton built a home on 786 acres (318 ha) of land he purchased north of the Hosch Plantation. The land he purchased was later called Braselton.[6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braselton,_Georgia
In 1989 actress and Georgia native Kim Basinger and other investors bought 1,751 acres (709 ha) of the town's 2,000 privately owned acres for $20 million from Braselton Brothers Inc, intending to turn it into a tourist destination.[7] Five years later, on the eve of personal bankruptcy, she and her partners sold the town at a large loss.

An entire town based on complete freedom for Marijuana usage and growing, might seem like a great idea, until you realize how fucking awful it would smell to live there.

Eh, as long as you don't share an apartment or car, it's not a biggie.  Besides, cigarette smokers don't exactly smell like roses, either.

Needles is Route 66 over the Colorado River into California from Arizona.  The Joad family (Grapes of Wrath) crossed the bridge there.  I crossed the same bridge in 1962 moving to California for the same reason (parent's economic opportunity).

Several years ago, we traveled to Missouri by car and followed Route 66 as much as we could.  It was fun. 

Needles temps in the near future: 110, 112,112,114,116,112,................and on and on.  Not my kind of place.

If you lived downwind from a marijuana bakery, would you get high sitting on the deck.  If so, can a buy the property?  And what happens if they have to burn an excess supply.  Do they charge for being nearby?

With property, it's location, location, location.  But if you've got the dough, you can buy anything.  Next to a marijuana factory, there is usually a premium.  It's called the "high" price.

In college I discovered that marijuana was not addictive.  This was a stunning revelation contrary to what the generation before had drilled into me as absolute fact.  How many other facts was I given from that generation that were worthless at best, or counterproductive at worse?  But I digress.  Now the generation after me is finally moving to make marijuana legal, granted with age restrictions and some caution warnings on the label.

My generation was responsible for pointing out that society was being stupid about it, but it took until the generation after me to do something about it.  But the new generation shouldn't see this as the final closing of the door on human ignorance.  There is still plenty of stupid that needs to be stamped out.

Three generations to get from believing in a falsehood to doing something about a falsehood.  On another planet, our species might be considered barely trainable, but marginally useful to keep around.

You have about the same experiences I did.  It wasn't addictive.  The day I left college I ignored it.  5 years later at a party, I was oferred some and enjoyed it.  Ignored it after that.  10 years later I just passed it on...  But I wouldn't mind having a brownie. 

I'm 67.  I have stiff joints.  It might be nice.  Or not.  I'm pretty sure it is not addictive to me.  I think I have a right to try it again.

I tried hash once in college.  Went to walk out of the friends' dorm room and stopped to wave goodbye and lean against the doorframe.  Which was about 2' away.  They told me afterwards that I spend 5 minutes slowly sliding down the doorframe.  *I* on the other hand, enjoyed an hour long slow fall into a verdant valley far below falling slowly like a leaf from a tree.  Slowly falling gently into the valley...

And then one day he was weeding round his chew...
And up from the ground came Mexica Blue

Weed that is, no sales tax
Grow a little home stuff ya get quite a stash.

Next thing ya know, Old Jed's a billionaire
His kinfolks said C'mon give us a share!
And Jed agreed if they'ed all protect the plot
And they all have serious money in their pots.

Kilos that was,  Benjamins.

I can't think of the last time I touched the stuff -- and I'm sure it hasn't been more than twice since I left college 32 years ago, and probably not within the last 20 years.

I definitely support legalization; I just have no interest in having a go at it again m'self.

when the bill passed in Nov 2016 I thought about growing weed as a business. I went to look up the licence on CA website for marijuana farmers. The website said there isnt any licence yet and they don't have any idea how they're gonna do it. (I think the gvmnt of CA didn't want that bill to pass)

If anybody wants to grow, here is a good place to start:

I can't even get high on pot anymore, for some reason. Probably because I've fucked my lungs up real good by smoking tobacco and pot for 45 years or so. I can get good head rushes, but that's not the same as getting high. So I've stopped smoking anything at all - maybe my lungs will heal enough to get high again someday.

Now now, you know perfectly well Fudd's First Law of Opposition is "If you push something hard enough it will fall over."  You're thinking about the Second Law.  :)

You probably correct.  But I don't feel like looking it up.  And wasn't there a corollary about "If you are on the floor, you CAN roll down the stairs"?  Maybe not.
Did you ever read 'The Child's Book Of Grass'?

I have the recording made with at least half of Firesign Theatre, but not the whole book itself.

Ah Firesign Theatre"!  I used to engage in quote games with my Boss.  My favorite was the odometer counting down...

That whole segment is amazing -- what other group would do a gag based on Zeno's Paradox, and then stick it in the background with about six other layers of simultaneous audio?  FT is why I have come to love audio over video.  I'd much rather listen to BBC Radio 4, for example, than watch TV.

And it is backwards from Zeno.  The car is obviously slowing down, but it doesn't seem to matter.

Having a long commute, I especially loved the "if you lived here, you'ld be home by now".  I always thought that would have been a great billboard on the apartment sites we passed on our dreary trips...
