There was a time, not so many moons ago, when the age for legal 
consumption of alcoholic beverages was lower in Idaho than it was in 
Washington. Moscow entrepreneurs welcomed Pullman residents for suds and 
snacks and life was good.

Now the situation is reversed, and Washington has a legal consumable 
that Idaho does not.  Pullman entrepreneurs may well welcome Moscow 
residents for for snacks and more and life may well be at least as 
good.  Life may be better than it was because evidence suggests that 
fewer auto accidents result from cannabis use than result from ethanol 
consumption.

KTVB's search for viewer ratings increases probably motivates their 
current cross-border brownie baking concerns.
