High just got higher: Trump tariffs to raise prices for US cannabis users

2. Aren't we going to be a happy bunch.. Not able to afford a lot of wine/spirits, cannabis, food!

My late grandparents (and by extension my late parents) lived through the depression. Despite owning beef cattle (which they produced and sold rather than consumed), they raised their large family & survived on a hell of a lot of beans and vegetables/rice. So, I was raised to eat that way, although by that point they'd largely gone back to their meat and potatoes ways...

But, I know a hell of a lot of good ways to prepare beans & veggies, make my own yogurt, etc... so I know the art of eating cheaply. But, damn if I won't miss some of the luxuries in life--a good Cabernet, some imported chocolate now and then and while I don't use cannabis, that was always a thought as my overused OA-riddled joints become increasingly resistant to NSAIDs for pain relief. And yes, living in Colorado, I am well aware I can always roll a joint if that is the alternative... but I value my lungs.

Maybe I'm being too convinced that the worst is coming and lasting. I hope I am wrong...
