    Merry Cannabismas...... from Walmart???

    Marijuana Christmas tree: Walmart was selling them
    By Lisa Gutierrez lgutierrez@kcstar.com


    For the stoner who has everything …

    Walmart is selling a “Weed Marijuana Leaf Christmas Tree” this season.

    (At least it was until Wednesday afternoon when the retailer pulled the tree from its website, though cookie cutters shaped like marijuana leaves remained for sale on the site.)

    Ornaments and bow are not included with the 7-foot faux Tannenbaum, which has a street, er, retail value of $250.

    “The ad copy reads like it was fueled by office party egg nog,” writes Bruce Barcott, deputy editor for the cannabis website Leafly.

    Indeed. The tree’s description on the Walmart website is sprinkled with token puns.

    “This Pot Leaf Christmas tree will ‘light up’ the room and put your mind in the right head-space for holiday cheer,” it reads.

    “You’ll be able to relax and giggle at the marijuana leaves and decorate it as you please. This alternative Christmas tree is perfect for personal top shelf life at home or as a medical dispensary decoration. Green Wishes and Happy Holidhaze!”

    The tree is sold and shipped by Brands On Sale Inc., a costume and novelty company, according to the Cannabist.

    Weed News noticed the tree, too, and took a poke at Walmart for “trying to cash in this year on the cannabis movement like many other retailers” while noting that $250 is “more than the cost of three ounces of actual cannabis at some dispensaries in Oregon.”

    The giant retailer “selling the ‘weed marijuana leaf Christmas tree’ is somewhat surprising, but is just another example of cannabis going mainstream,” wrote Weed News.

    “Walmart also sells marijuana leaf cookie cutters which, while not specifically geared towards Christmas, can certainly be used to make Christmas cookies (cannabis infusion optional)!”

    Barcott and his colleagues got to wondering: “Which is cheaper, a seven-foot Walmart Weed Christmas Tree or an actual seven-foot cannabis plant?”

    He asked Washington state cannabis farmer Crystal Oliver, who sounded excited at the prospect of a new income stream — “live canna-Christmas trees.”

    If she sold a 7-foot cannabis plant — which would take several months to grow outdoors — she would probably sell it for $200, she said.

    That would be for a plant not in flower, weeks away from harvest, she said. It would be worth hundreds and hundreds more after it flowered.

    “With cannabis Christmas trees, as in life, timing is everything,” Barcott noted.

    Timing is, indeed, everything. The tree might not arrive until Dec. 26 unless you pay for that “free” shipping.

    I remember some old time farmer telling me his father hated cannabis. Before they made it illegal it grew like a weed all over the place. If you had livestock you had to get rid of the pesky weed so the cows wouldn't eat it and have problems. Ha! Ha!

    Oh God no! Walmart might have the same problem with cows eating this tree!
