Episode 112: LA’s on fire
This week: Guest co-host David Downs walks us through LA’s trial by fire, and explains why there are so few legal cannabis stores in America’s cannabis hub. Also, we praise heroic jurors in New Orleans and look fondly upon the days when weed grew like weeds, wild in the streets and vacant lots of New York City.

Check out their website, it’s got this crazy animation going on, as well as some cool videos. They’ve got six retail stores in California, make 2,000 deliveries daily, and grow 12 tons of cannabis every year. Twelve tons! You know how much an ounce of cannabis is, right? They grow 384,000 of those every year. Respect.
