Even if they pump it with all the helium on the planet... it'll never fly. Should it actually pass, be prepared for a massive surge in the need for black market cannabis across the nation.

The blackmarket party is still on due to over-taxation,
"party on wayne, party on garth"
California's effective tax rate ranged from $42 to $90 per ounce, depending on the jurisdiction, compared to an estimated wholesale production cost of $35 per ounce.
The corresponding rates in Colorado and Oregon, both of which have been more successful at displacing the black market, are about $33 and $21, respectively.
Despite modest tax relief approved this year, legal marijuana remains overpriced in California.
It is also inconvenient to buy in much of the state thanks to local sales bans that have created "massive cannabis deserts" where "consumers have no access to a legal retailer within a reasonable distance of their home."

Big Pharma and the Alcohol Lobby will not let up the bribing of our elected leaders.
Jessie Jackson is a big alcohol distributor in Illinois, FWIW.

I would like to buy some Helium, to make a Geiger Muller Tube. Which sounds fancy, but it's just a salad bottle filled with helium and 2 wires coming through the screw on lid.
They use Argon, Helium, or Neon.
But my primary source of Helium - the birthday balloons at the $ store - AIN'T GOT NONE.
I know a lot of products are gone forever in the post-Covid era.
But I hope we can buy Helium over the counter, sometime in the future.
You want to make a Geiger Muller Tube but can't figure out how to buy helium post covid?

Well I could go to Airco or find another distributor, or contact a neon sign company.
But the $ store sells these HANDY balloons.
I wouldn't be surprised if I use a balloon for the first go round,
then buy a tank because it works better. It has fittings etc.
BUT there does seem to be a shortage, and I am told that "the Helium comes from Russia".
Helium comes from TX. We shut out the supply of He to Germans before WW2, so they used Hydrogen. Hindenburg had Hydrogen.
