You sound like a commie.
Pot is getting so cheap, a dispensary just sold me 10 grams of 25% thc bud for $2 as a mystery gift.
It's around 200+ aqi in San Francisco too, although 100+ miles from any fires.
We are seriously over-taxed and most of the money disappears in graft, corruption and thievery. In addition, most govt does a shitty job for which they would be fired if in private biz.
OR makes up for that with high property taxes.
Gas could also be around $1.00.
