    I'm sure Charlo Greene is ecstatic now that Alaska quit dragging ass to come up with the regulations to put in place two years after she lead the initiative for marijuana reform. Oh, wait. Probably not. She's facing 54 yrs. in jail.

    It's the first store open in the state. Probably they jacked the prices way up to take advantage of the long lines of customers. I'm guessing will come down as more stores open.
