Michigan could join states in the national popular vote compact. So what would that mean?

Legislation has been reintroduced this session to change the way Michigan’s electoral votes are awarded, which supporters hope will eventually result in the presidency always being awarded to whichever candidate wins the most votes nationally.

Scratch that last sentence. When I went to the dispensary today it was actually 13 carts for $100

#weed #420friendly #Stoners

I don't know how weed prices are at the moment in other states, but Michigan prices are just crazy low right now. My gf was looking on weedmaps last night and one of the dispensaries is selling $20 ounces. And they're selling 12 1g vape cartridges for $100

I don't know how these places stay in business.

White Runtz will always be one of my favorite strains. #weed #runtz #stoner #420friendly

@codanaut #SmokeWeedEveryDay is a good motto.
