Oh god. Just a completely peeled potato blended with butter until it doesn't have a texture, season with nothing, top with nothing. A potato is a perfect food, I don't understand how or why so many people fuck it up so deeply

There isn't, but man I wish there was. I don't make a commission, I don't get a cut of the profits, all I want to do is make people have the best possible experience with something I know a bunch about. I'm a drug dealer for sure, but at its best the job is in a weird spot between sommelier and concierge. All three…

Pesto and roasted tomato is a how you do a thinking man's grilled cheese, and is also perfect for quieting kids down while you're grilling dinner outside (I am not a child-haver, but these were common ingredients in a lot of dishes at home and my mom would knock a couple of these bad boys out before starting on the…

Our maximum recreational dose is only fifteen milligrams, and I'm constantly recommending packages that are broken up into four or five pieces, such as hard candy or snack crackers. Fifteen isn't much if you've got a tolerance, but tourists usually don't. The problem is that people get into weird mindsets where they…

Anywhere between a garbage quarter ounce and an impressively overpriced gram in a store around here. A gram of good shatter can be found for 30 if you shop around and know what you're doing

Boredom.

I keep my pitch really simple. It's a hilarious amount of tax money (Oregon's on track for 43 million this year). The cops can focus on real crime. Fewer people are going to get sent to jail and have their records fucked up for dumb non-crimes and they can participate in society and pay taxes instead of breaking…

We hate the "weed cures everything" guys more than anyone

We're not pro-him, we're anti-you

I find stoned drivers definitely drive what feels to them like more carefully, but their perception of their own driving is influenced by, you know, drugs. They're prone to getting distracted by the radio or just generally lookin' at stuff. It's an awful idea and weed culture is way too accepting of it.

Yeah I'd like to really hammer that point home: THC stays in your system for ages. You can fail a urine test after weeks of abstinence. This isn't like a blood test for alcohol where they can read a number and ballpark how you're feeling based on that, it's testing if you went to a party weekend before last. No…

It'll be the one under several layers of childproof packaging and warning labels that cost like ten bucks in a store you have to show ID to even walk into.

The odds are good he'll see it in his lifetime. It's a whole lot of free money for the government, we're looking at 43 million in Oregon this year, states aren't going to be able to ignore numbers like that forever. Plus crime doesn't seem to get any worse, underage use has gone down in Colorado, and the downside is…

I work at a pot store and the bane of my existence is people coming in being all "hey so I've never tried pot before, but I absolutely refuse to smoke or vaporize anything so let me get some edibles." I try my best to talk them into making a better choice but a lot of them don't go for it.

Hey aerosmith: you are not cool enough to be all "hey he's not my president but he's a president so close enough." If you ever had the cachet to be that picky, you don't now and you certainly didn't recently

Drive got the doom tone incredibly well. It was a lot of build up to some intensely quick, dirty violence that felt fairly true to life, and you knew in your bones it was going to happen.

I'm absolutely going to give this a try. I really love a kind of doomy tone in media, especially music and movies.

Southern Oregon, which isn't the kind of place you're going to end up by accident.

You absolutely thought that was a cool sounding thing to say, that's amazingly funny

It was neither, you found yourself a dumbass
