Vice comes in sends a dude that's 20 looks 40. Buys beer/ smokes. The store and the employee is fined $500 for first offense. And then the employee is fired. That's why they check id's. Also if you are at a bar restaurant consuming alcohol you need Id to prove your age.

Does your brain stay in this mode all the time, or are you able to shift back and forth rather easily?

My brain works good because nicotine is an all natural nootropic which means it makes you smart. Meanwhile the marijuana users can’t pass a drug test for a month after using because it’s still in their brain

If you’re really middle aged white guy, I find it hard to believe that you were actually carded for cigarettes.


Some stores, Wawa for instance, card everyone buying age related products.

Guy last week, about 60, was asked for id in front of me, his response, "I'm standing right here". Great answer to a comical practice. There should always be common sense exceptions to rules.

Do you really live in Juneau, Alaska. That must be an incredibly interesting place to live. What are all the pros and cons?

The big negative is the weather. Its a rainforest, so you get a lot of precip. Not really more than the Deep South, but it is gradual and the skies are grey a lot.

Some dont like the fact it doesnt have a road connecting to anywhere else, but I absolutely love that fact,.

Pros: Good people, outdoor oriented, tons of wildlife (even downtown) food, fishing, hunting, music, schools etc,

Cons: Its very expensive, and in a rainforest.

Are the wages and salaries enough to offset this?

Also, do any of the roads allow you to drive into Canada if you need to, or is it truly isolated?

In general, yes.

Also the economy is kind of self regulating as people tend to leave when the economy is down.

Anyone unemployed in Juneau just desires to be unemployed.

Kids love it, they get to travel a lot on school trips. I've spent a lot on my granddaughters debate team travel and we're only two months in.

You would have been ID'd at a smoke shop too. So you're bitching just to bitch.

Don't forget your license next time, and then you won't have to bitch on a message board.

You mean to tell me a product that far less people use is stocked in far less stores?

What's wrong with this country?

People like OP, not realizing you have to see a dr before getting cleared for weed, and not realizing you also need an ID for that. It's not any easier, and you're never not carded for purchasing legal cannabis, entirely unlike cigarettes.

Marijuana is a scourge on society, stinks to high heaven and the acceptance of it is responsible for the decline of our country and society.

Drove in from Colorado thru New Mexico the other day. The last few miles in new met the billboards are all “last dispensary in New Mexico”. As soon as you cross into Texas the billboards are all “caught with weed? Call ———attorney “.

Then we i finally get there they wouldn't sell them to me because I forgot my ID.


The laws requiring an ID can be so silly. I understand why this policy exists. At the same time, I once saw an elderly man denied a six pack bc he didn’t have an ID. Guy was at least 70. He looked at the cashier dumbfounded.

But Texas does have a ton of vape shops now which sell Delta 8 or Delta 9 or whatever it is. I think it’s basically weed.
