    Grocery stores, pot dispensaries, and pharmacies were packed tight with people hoping to stock up on supplies before the order takes effect at the stroke of midnight Tuesday. It was clear Mayor London Breed’s call for calm had not been heard.

    As of 2 p.m. pot retail stores were not listed among the businesses that the city viewed as “essential,” and lines were longest there.

    “Everything shuts down tomorrow. God knows — a month without pot? It’s a wild time,” said a customer waiting in a line at Shambala on Mission Street.

      Pot aside, do people not realize that 1) grocery stores will be open throughout the next 3 weeks 2) supply lines are still active and everything is being restocked and 3) you're allowed to go...

      Pot aside, do people not realize that 1) grocery stores will be open throughout the next 3 weeks 2) supply lines are still active and everything is being restocked and 3) you're allowed to go grocery shopping in the shelter-in-place order?

      If anything, I would bet that in a week from now they'll be pretty sparsely attended AND fully stocked, so rather than be a in a crowded area, how about just... calming down and waiting?
