which state? I congratulate them for the tax on the unit instead of tax on the sales price where the price of the weed will drop big time and so will the revenue as a few states have found out.

Legal recreational in my state appears to be dead (legislature session is over tomorrow) and I'm glad about that because the bill was lame in so many ways that it looked like it was half-***ed to get it done in their first attempt with a supportive instead of resistive governor.

NJ! Yeah some people are boo-hooing the tax but I'm 100% behind it, I think it's awesome. The only thing I'm super sad about is no-home-grow, I grow other things hydroponically and was really kinda looking forward to it, but it's fine. I will stick to my actual herbs and stuff.

(I have chronic pain and ptsd and I think everyone should have access to this medicine. We should be allowed to grow our own to ensure we're not getting anything weird as well.)

As a fellow chronic pain sufferer, I feel you. Hope your week gets less shitty. Here, have this -

Has anyone been working on the Gregory Aponte hits? I was wondering if anyone has capped on them yet?

Move to New Mexico. We have medical marijuana here and probably easy to get a card when a sleezy doctor makes up a qualifying medical condition for you if you don't have a legit one already. I believe med pot users can home grow their own plants, up to six or something.

Legal rec pot bill appears to be dead. I hated the idea in the law -- legislators make the final choice, not the voters, the dispensaries would be state run, just have to simply show a receipt for the purchase of the weed to prove it's not street weed, taxing the weed on sale value at some stupid low tax rate like 12%, and not limiting the supply of weed to keep sales prices higher to collect more taxes. It was estimated to bring in $50M first year and that is small beans, IMHO, for $7B total state budget so why bother making it legal recreationally?

Do they have a cap?

I'm not sure. The number seems to be going down super slow. I've only done about 300 because I've been watching Harry Potter movies and doing them sporadically. I guess I'll just keep doing them till they run out or they make me stop.

Holey Moley, I had the LONGEST User Testing Study - it went on and on and on and it was for $10. If they weren't so good to me I would have cut that off after 30 minutes . . . it ended up being an hour!

When my tests take way longer than was stated like in this case, I send an email to UserTesting through the help center and they have given me extra compensation. I don't tell them that I want extra compensation, I just phrase it in a way that I wanted to let them know. But they have credited me.

Oh, I had one like that one time and I was cursing by the end. I think it almost ran down the hour timer. Then I felt bad later when they paid me $30 for it unannounced.
