'Wal-Mart Of Weed' Opens In Phoenix: God Bless America!

By Robert Paul Reyes

 

"Seeking to capitalize on Arizona`s newly enacted medical marijuana law, a California-based company on Wednesday opened a superstore-sized garden center in Phoenix catering to those who want to grow their own cannabis.

"We sell everything but the plant itself," said Dhar Mann, founder of weGrow, the company that began franchising its big-box stores with outlets in Oakland and Sacramento, California. `We sell the products and the services for people to safely and responsibly cultivate their medicine.`"

This super-sized garden center is the Wal-Mart of pot.  This store doesn`t need to hire a greeter,  customers come in with a smile and they leave with a smile. 
The store sells grow lights, irrigation trays, everything you will need to grow pot, except for the marijuana itself. 
If the store sold marijuana and provided tables and sofas where customers could smoke the magical herb, some people would never leave. I think I`ve just described heaven!
It`s a crying shame that my version of heaven doesn`t exist, not even in liberal San Francisco.
Congress should think outside the box, and legalize and tax weed, it would put a serious dent o n the national debt.
