When I decided to the pull the plug on my 30-year career in daily journalism last winter, my partner, Gayle Fee, suggested — with a straight face so I knew she was kidding — that I open a “kush bakery.”

“It’s gold, Jerry, GOLD,” she joked, using one of our favorite and oft-quoted “Seinfeld” lines.

After all, we had seen the bang-up business the medical marijuana dispensaries on Venice Beach were doing during our forays to crazy Cali for the NBA Finals in 2008 and 2010. And then in 2012, when 63 percent of Massachusetts’ voters said yes to legalize pot for medicinal use, it seemed like a no-brainer. (The Bay State’s 35 dispensary licenses will finally be announced Jan. 30.)

Over the weekend, “Saturday Night Live” spoofed a “Nancy Grace” show where she tore into supporters of the Rocky Mountain (High) State’s legalization of pot.

One is baker Elizabeth Wessel, an owner of a regular ol’ bakery but now “has lines out the door for cannabis cookies and space cakes” at her new joint appropriately called “Baked.”

And get a load of the prices she charges!

“I’ve got this turf locked down,” reports Elizabeth, who raked in $650,000 this year. “I’m Walter White and this is ‘Baking Baaaad.’”

Despite the potential for a pot payday, I think Goat Cottage Farm will stick with gluten-free goods. Sorry, Gayle. But Colleen and I would taste and nibble so much while baking, we’d never have anything to sell to our customers. Fits of giggles and “the munchies” aren’t conducive to a production schedule. The upside? The kitchen would be reeeeaaaallly mellow…
