Well, yeah sure. All that observer/observed Schrodinger's Cat kinda
stuff, that's potentially what's going on.
On the other hand, suppressed tales of transactions involving ganja in
one pound increments and the resulting paranoia that seems like a
natural extension of such underground enterprises—didn't this get

much weed in Against the Day [hell, Mason & Dixon!] anyway?—point to
other potential scenarios.
