Searching for Maryjane

Just in case the dispensary on the corner is being raided, you can now locate the next closest one in the neighborhood at the click of a button. Maybe it's the temporarily self-imposed pot sobriety talking or Season 3 of Weeds that I am currently catching up on (more on that later), but it seems as though cannabis has become more of a pop culture icon as of late and references seem to appear everywhere I look. Not that I am complaining, but when did marijuana become the latest designer drug of choice? It seems that every decade has a mainstream popular drug and that the new improved designer pot has been helping weed make a neo-retro comeback. This great New Yorker piece gives insight into the inner workings of the business of selling medical marijuana and how it has changed the pot industry at large.
