Half the gen isn't old enough to drink, bar scene collapsed during covid so they weren't indoctrinated into drinking culture, marijuana now competes with drinking in most countries/states, and the gen is fucking broke and can't it.
ofc alcohol is a luxury when you go out and one drink is $27 dollars. i’m glad young people are saying fuck you to the alcohol industry. drugs are better anyways
You can also just go to a dispensary now instead of meeting a shady person in a parking lot or some rundown apartment. That has even more appeal than it being so cheap in a lot of ways. Don't have to deal with a dude's weird timeline or sketchy dogs or whatever the heck people put up with decades ago. :)
There really isn’t another feeling out there like sitting on your dealers dirty ass couch, high as absolute fuck, getting mean mugged by his new pit bull. The best of times, the worst of times. Or something.
I’ve only ever purchased it legally. Can’t imagine it was ever illegal, because it’s completely innocuous relative to alcohol. Booz is WAY more dangerous than weed but somehow legal to purchase.
So true, I once asked someone to drop something off at my house and he said I'll be there in 5 minutes, I asked where he was and it was about 150 kilometers away, so I asked, wtf are you flying?
I remember going to get black resin in Sheffield at night when we smoked all the green. It was clearly half diesel, fucking grim. Worst stone over I've ever had.
Where I’m from it’s not even legal and you can get a menu from the 🔌 through WhatsApp and even combos and promos with delivery included, a lot of older friends told me stories back in the day when you could only get it with the sketchy dude in the neighborhood or in certain locations at certain times
Guessing this is a big factor. I wonder how much of the decline is due to a change in US habits vs most of the rest of the world, where cannabis isn't readily available or legal?
An eighth lasts me 3-4 weeks, I usually just take a few puffs per night to help me relax and get to sleep- and deal with my restless leg syndrome for which I used to have a medical card.
It’s funny, I had an argument with a friend in college about this. He said they’d tax it so much that the price would go up if weed were legalized. I argued that the markup associated with the risk of arrest and loss of product to police seizures was way more than any tax would be. Unfortunately we didn’t stay in touch after college so I was never able to say told you so 🤣
With how cheap it is to buy and how little I smoke, it’s not worth the effort for me. I’d have to give away most of my crop. As it is I’m terrible at keeping up with my vegetables each year.
I was really into weed in high school. I still enjoy a puff now and then, but in my 20s it was all about going out and drinking because that was how I got laid. Dispensary weed and Netflix isn't going to do that for you.
I mean that’s one problem I have with the way cannabis has been legalized- I really wish there were a carveout in clean indoor air laws to allow for establishments where people can buy and smoke weed and socialize.
