As I prepare for my impending move to the drug-friendly state of Colorado, I feel compelled to share this week's news in drugs. Let's dig in, shall we?
The State of Colorado recently held an auction on marijuana-themed license plates. Proceeds benefited the Colorado Disability Funding Committee. The auction ended, of course, on April 20. The results were as comical as they were predictable.
The top bid went to ISIT420, which went for $6,630. The next highest bid was TEGRIDY (Google it if your South Park knowledge is stale), which went for $4,930. Following this was BONG at $3,890, GREEN at $3,510 and STASH at $1,860.
The next auction will be held on April 20, 2022. Crossing my fingers I can win the 420 247 or QP KB auctions and put some sweet new plates on my Dodge Stratus.
In other news, Justin Zhu seems like a guy who could roll with many of us current (and former) party animals. Justin was a co-founder and CEO of a marketing startup company called Iterable. Never heard of it? Me neither. But a lot of people have, apparently. This private company has a current market value of $2 billion. Pretty sweet, right. And Justin likes acid.
Apparently, Justin took acid before a company meeting in 2019. He said he was attempting to micro-dose to "improve his focus." Yeah, that's why I used to do it too. Listen, I get the theoretical concept of a micro-dose. I occasionally nibble on a bit of an indica edible before bed - maybe a third or a half of a 10 mg gummy. I sleep well and have odd dreams. Everybody wins. But Justin wasn't nibbling on a gummy. He was EATING ACID. AT WORK. This seems like all kinds of bad decision-making by the CEO. Clearly, he was either: i) so out of his gourd that folks figured out what happened, or ii) so cocky that he felt the need to share news of his drug adventures to his colleagues. Do your drugs, pull yourself together, and keep the deets to yourself, like any self-respecting degenerate.
The full story is here. But before you have a pity party for Mr. Zhu, remember that he is a co-founder of a $2 billion company and probably owns a big slug of equity. It is likely he never needs to work again. But maybe he should double down on his psychedelic legacy and push for psilocybin legalization in Colorado. That would be good. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
