The WaPo looks at the state of marijuana cultivation
In the state of California and elsewhere. One curious element is the way that pot under prohibition has developed into a quality product, light years away from the throat rasping ditchweed of the sixties and seventies.
If your last joint was experienced while coughing along to a Bob Dylan album in the '70s, Ramsay's offerings will seem incredibly far out. I mean, incredibly.Vote for Prop 19 so you too can enjoy Martian Mean Green.
On the other side of the building, patrons are spoiled by a choice of varieties whose pothead names are lagging behind the contemporary, therapeutic image of marijuana -- sorry, cannabis -- in all its boutique wonder.

When alcohol was chased underground during Prohibition, the resulting clandestine booze was notoriously rank -- the paint-stripping moonshine, the barely drinkable homemade wine. Marijuana, however, has undergone radical advances since the war on drugs sent it deep into the shadows 25 years ago.
