The Private Stash of Top Shelf Weed is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Marijuana Horticulturist with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.638 billion Top Shelf Weedians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Marijuana Dispensary. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Top Shelf Weedian economy, worth a remarkable 5,463 trillion ounces a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,147 ounces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, bike rage is all the rage, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime is totally unknown. Top Shelf Weed's national animal is the barn owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Weed.

Top Shelf Weed is ranked 331,616th in the world and 8th in Weed for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -36.47 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
