Definitely crazy seeing this on the cover, it's like evidence that bud really is crossing over into the mainstream if it manages to get coverage in a mag meant for middle-aged businessmen, a group likely to be conservative. The article overall was decently comprehensive, it basically covered the kind of information that an avid reader of High Times (like yours truly) might be able to rattle off without actually having to go to Cali. Put simply:
- Bud dispensaries are thriving in Cali, and it only costs a CA resident $200 average to get a pot doc to legally hook them up with a dispensary card
- Obama signed a law more or less promising that the DEA won't meddle with their state laws
- We are not talking about twiggy, seedy bud, we are talking about fluffy, tasty, colorful, fragrant medical-grade bud
- It can be smoked, eaten, dropped like a pill, or vaped
- The government actually gives bud to some people
Also interesting was how the author, obviously not a counterculturist, did admit that he smoked bud back in the day, and it was the twiggy brown kind, not the kind bud we see today. Just the interesting cover (Fortune mag + bud) alone will ensure that this issue will sit on the coveted "conversation piece" literature pile on my coffee table, right next to my bong. If bud ever appears on the cover of a mainstream mag like that again, it'll probably be totally legalized. That could never come too soon.
