Perusing an old Mechanix Illustrated from the mid 1950's, I happened upon an article about a nuclear powered airplane supported by Washington State Senator Henry Jackson.
Come on up to Washington State, where they passed a law that says pot is no longer illegal. Of course, they have yet to set up the system by which you can buy it, you can't legally grow your own, you can't sell it personally, and the medical marijuana distribution system is on the verge of extinction due to a lack of foresight by the regulators. The recent overhaul of the liquor distribution system here, if it is any guide, will show the WSLCB as incompetent boobs as regards pot. We had the highest liquor taxes in the country, which actually increased with privatization.
The interesting thing the State is up against is the well established underground production, distribution and sales of pot that have been pretty effective in getting the product out without hindrance by the authorities for decades.
They are looking at the legal sales of pot as some sort of Manna from heaven, the taxes upon which will solve all their overspending problems in Olympia. I contend that, by taking this view, the State will over regulate and over tax their way right out of the equation and the old fashion underground system will stay intact and thrive.

Don't let the Government's 6.9% (under)estimate of unemployment fool you, it is far higher than that. We are still referring to this modern Depression as the "Great Recession". My ass.
Always played the game with the $400 for landing on Go, and the Free Parking getting the money "in the middle" from Luxury Tax, funds to get Out of Jail, and other assessments in the Chance and Community Chest cards. Payouts from the cards came from the Bank, since Banks were (and are) Evil Incarnate. Also played that if you rolled doubles and landed on an opponents space, you could skate by rolling again quickly if they hadn't paid attention to your touch down on their property.
Apparently the tenant improvements were not permitted or inspected. Cool, but a great way to kill or maim your kid falling through the gaps. You can build cool stuff that doesn't risk people's health. Some small changes and this could be cool and safe.

Many people are stealing to survive today.
I guess ballot stuffing could be a problem, but there must be a way to work around that.
