I don’t smoke or eat weed @Sethrogen . But congrats. Your mother must be very proud of you. I mean that.

Almost ten years I go, I envisioned having my own weed company. And today I can say that my company Houseplant's weed will be available in California next week! Also, Houseplant is making lovely Housegoods like ashtrays, lighters, and YES, even ceramics.
