1924 Chamber Potential

"Whatcha doing?" We used to say. To which the cool kids would reply, "None of your beeswax."
Well beeswax is smoking these days. And not just with organic honey compounds. With other organic stuff too. As in the green bushy type. As it's my duty to report on cultural changes, I once again ask your indulgence as we discuss the changing business landscape of cannabis in our state.
Cannabisness as I call it.
The other evening I was at a Chamber of Commerce event and two individuals were having a spirited discussion. They were throwing their hands in the air and making vertical and horizontal and graph-like gestures, so I was pretty certain they were either loaded or having a discussion about business.
They also had that glow on their faces that told me they were in a full entrepreneurial-enthusiastic high. The kind of flush like you just drew a flush in a poker game. The near certainty of success that sends a rush of blood speeding through your heart and facial arteries.
I wandered over a little closer to see what they were discussing. One of them said, "No, you could eliminate the black market problem easy. You just price it lower. Seven bucks a gram rather than twelve. It can't cost that much to produce."
"True," said the other, "and if you vertically integrate your supply and distribution, you cut out any excess labor costs and keep the price low there too."
"And once we work in other economies of scale, seven bucks is not out of reach. And customers will flock to standardization like they do to McDonalds."
The entrepreneurial spirit; alive and well in Washington.

How high we've fallen.
Is this what they mean by chamber pot?
America, ya gotta love it.
