KTVA reports:
The Alaska Marijuana Control Board (MCB) members approved the first licenses for marijuana manufacturing facilities and retail stores at their Sept. 8 meeting. Destiny Neade, owner of Frozen Budz in Fairbanks, got one of each.
The approval of her licenses was met with applause by dozens of other industry hopefuls in attendance. "Everything seems really real right now. I'm opening this door and I'm really going to be infusing marijuana and making edibles," Neade said. "All the plans we've made are going to happen now that we've been approved."
There are four manufacturing facilities and 17 retails stores up for review during the MCB's two-day meeting.

What makes no damned sense is these trendy hipster bloggers tripping over each other trying to get into the marijuana business and completely ignoring the opportunities for selling other psychoactive drugs. It's like they're all idiots.
Hey I know. Maybe I'll gain some insight into trendy people if I watch that new TV series "Mary and Jane" which is a complete ripoff of "2 Broke Girls" except instead of selling cupcakes they sell cupcakes full of weed. Seems like the people who make TV shows are all idiots too.

Well shit why isn't there any demand? There wasn't any demand for Uber before Uber so how the fuck did Uber create demand for Uber? Every stupid shitstain calls a fucking Uber now whenever they want someone to haul their drunk ass somewhere. Maybe the problem here is the fucking disruptive "thought leaders" haven't shit spammed the fucking blog-o-blog to tell the morons about unregulated drugs like jimsonweed??

You know, now I wonder. How many suckers can I sell jimsonweed to? I suppose I'll have to form an LLC in case anybody dies. I mean, if somebody dies and they try to fine me, I can just whinge about the free market, amirite?

Every once in a while, it occurs to me, that the purported purpose of the SoyentNews is rational, or at least interesting, commentary on the Fine Articles. But then something like this thread occurs, and I think, Uber is using Datura to get AirBNB clients to room with Lizard people and Aliens from the 9th dimension? Yea, sounds legit! I'll just be over here, in my own private journal, waiting for the madness to blow over.
