While octothorp use was a minor problem with few victims, all willing, the prohibition and interdiction effort created a very lucrative black market, with its attendant aggressive grass roots marketing and violent defense of profit potential.

Punched him in the semi colon; and that’s when the ____ hit the fan. (Fill in the blank)

Forget ounces, he sold # by the #.

And I thought he was a # fellow!
