Where ordering cannabis is easy as booking a taxi
Ordering cannabis in Los Angeles is now as easy as booking a taxi. Click on an app, choose your preferred product, pay for it and then sit back and wait for it to be delivered to your door.
Eaze is just one of several firms taking advantage of the legalisation of cannabis, for which the people of California voted overwhelmingly in favour in 2016. Since January last year, when the use of recreational cannabis became legal across the state, the start-up has seen an 80% increase in sign-ups. It had run a limited medicinal cannabis delivery service since 2014, with anyone who wanted to order having to download medical evidence that they needed it.
[...] The products Eaze sells range from $15 (£12) to $50, but are then hit with an additional 20% to 40% tax rate, depending on jurisdiction. "Our biggest competition is still the illicit market. One in five people are still shopping from there because of the taxes," said Ms Shiravi.

Yes, and the win was not the school problems and road issues caused by short sighted, greedy politicians with dollar signs for eyes.
It was in rejecting a tax imposed by the government and not voted on by the people. We tend to pass taxes with specific goals, school funding, community centers, arts. But we reject imposed taxes. A couple of decades ago we rolled back our ridiculously expensive automobile registration fees for the same reason.
The win is in restricting the government though actions of the people. Same way we got legal weed.
So yeah. Big fuckin' win.

Not relevant.
A fucking win is a win.
We got our way over the objection of government.
Call it what you want. I never stated any such.
I won't argue semantics with you, I simply don't care.
