The Associated Press and the Idaho Statesman—both of which are a part of the deeply feared and dreaded “opposition party” Emperor Pussy Grabber has spoken of—ran pieces last week that give some insight into just how much people enjoy cannabis.
The stories looked at Huntington, Oregon, a town so small I wasn’t aware it even existed. (Which is exactly the sort of thing someone in Portland would say.) It’s the equivalent size of Trump’s hands, boasting a population of 435 people. And like many small towns, it wasn’t exactly bursting with commerce and hope, as businesses closed down and people continued to move away.
For nearly a year, the city argued whether it should allow cannabis sales, finally opting to take a chance. And my goodness, that may have been one of the greatest choices ever made in Huntington. (Which is exactly the sort of thing a cannabis columnist would say.)
Two cannabis dispensaries opened up, and that’s when things got really good for Huntington. The city is a border town with our slightly more (okay, much more) uptight neighbors to the east, the good people of your own private Idaho. A 30-minute drive from Huntington along I-84 will take you across the Snake River and into the largest population center of the area, Treasure Valley. The Treasure Valley vicinity is home to 660,000 residents, and by all accounts, they really, really enjoy cannabis.
