Sometimes I think ZIP is so “out there” that he needs to take a few puffs just to settle thoughts and bring him back down to Earth. Who knows how high he would fly or how far without his organic anchor winching him back?
Note the barest hint of a horn on Zipper’s head in the next-to-last frame buried between his speech bubble and the edge of the frame? That’s Trudeau’s genius.
And there in lies the reason capitalists were agin’ it……..individuals could obtain it/grow it for themselves, skipping control by outside forces. Therefore conservatives, religionists, control the masses groups, tried to stamp it out no mater the medical good it did vs alcohol use, until the money to be made was too great …….pray to the almighty dollar……it, is the ultimate GOD…..it moves more mountains, quest for it impoverishes more people, even Jesus tried to drive it out of the temples…..he knew…….how’ed that work out for him?
Sewage doesn’t lie: This city (Seattle) uses more cannabis than Amsterdam.
Dr. Dan Burgard and a team of researchers at the University of Puget Sound and University of Washington analyzed wastewater to understand how cannabis consumption has changed over the years. The team captured samples between the years of 2013 and 2016, evaluating how usage has fluctuated before and after the state’s 2014 legalization.
The way they collected these, err, samples is where things get a bit gross. The researchers used new methods to detect trace amounts of THC metabolites in the waste stream (i.e., whatever leaves your body and gets flushed down the toilet after you smoke, vape or eat cannabis.)
“With wastewater, it’s anonymous, and wastewater doesn’t have any reason to lie.”
As someone who is no longer in her teens or twenties, I know very few who smoke pot anymore, though it has become legal in more and more states. I kind of feel like I was left out of the party, though I hear pot has changed so much and is far more potent, therefore, one has to be more careful than in the past. Many did not have such a good time with it even in the past, it can cause feelings of insatiable hunger and paranoia, not such a wonderful thing. For those who find it helps with illness, I would think they might want to find a way to get the THC without smoking it, since it is harsh on the lungs.
Zip’s got a point. They need to get out of the pot business and fast. They’re like a small town bootlegging operation on the eve of the 21st Amendment; once that herb is truly and finally legal, the bigger dogs are gonna come in and take their kingdom by force, with government help most likely. Small, honest businesses simply cannot survive in the capitalist jungle. Git while the goings good, Z+Z.

And this is why the Quality of Z&Z Bud goes downhill resulting in them going Bankrupt.
Without the benefit of a Bank because the Fed’s rules would result in all their money being seized as illegal drug profits if they took it to a Bank.
