Something to discuss for Baltimore folks (and anyone else who would like to chime in): A medical marijuana dispensary will be opening in Baltimore County. Some homeowners are nervous that this will result in an increase in crime rates in the neighborhood, which would decrease the value of their homes.
My thoughts are:
1) I see this as a huge income driver and medical marijuana itself as a positive new industry (way better than alcohol IMO).
2) Medical dispensaries in other states like Maine are actually helping to improve the communities by offering incentives to people who clean up trash and recycle around the neighborhood. I hope Baltimore follows their example.
3) It will also decrease people's dependency on purchasing their weed off the black market.
4) Branding will be of utmost importance here. The marijuana dispensary CANNOT look like some trashy ass vape spot. It needs to be clean, modern and professional.

I usually do a write up of the events I’ve organized or hosted and my most-read articles at the end of the year. This was an unusual year (obviously, there is no need to go into it here) so I didn’t bother. Instead I want to highlight a project of mine that I am particularly proud of — it’s my new podcast show, Unverified Accounts, that I cohost with my frequent collaborators, Chris Jesu Lee and Filip Guo. If you're a big movie/TV/book buff, have leftist sympathies, but can't stand 'wokeness' dumbing down our culture, then we're the podcast for you. So far in our 25 episodes, we’ve covered a range of contentious topics.
