It’ll be crazy one day when there’s Marlboro/Phillip Morris equivalent or something who dominates the nations weed supply.

Isn't like Cali or one of those west coast states at an super saturation of product, where many are just sitting in warehouse?

I would estimate that over 50% of my current 7th grade students vape regularly. If they’ll vape, they will probably also smoke weed.


This is what my kid and the neighbors kid tell me. About half the kids in their Ascension parish classes vape. Many do it at school. Many talk about doing weed, not clear if this is at school .

There are many Canadian companies building stock networks, waiting on the US Congress to legalize it. The problem is, Congress is so greedy, insuring a yuge black market, even after legalized.

It seems that vaping and weed are to their generation what dipping and chewing of were to my generation


You do know they make THC vapes right? They aren't great. You become desensitized to it pretty quick for some reason though. Eventually takes like 10-12 pulls to feel anything while high.

Pot


The tax windfall may not be worth the trouble. Colorado, which was not much better than New Mexico before pot was legal, is now a mix of New Mexico and Mississippi without any of the charm. Washington State seems to have a handle on it but it ain't the panacea its been promoted as. I still think all drugs ought to be legal...in fact I can only think of 2 things consenting adults ought not be able to enter into a contract over...murder for hire and child porn. But it ain't a fix all any more than legal alcohol and tobbacco is...

Tobacco or Alcohol or a combination is the true gateway drug....very few people start off smoking pot or shooting up heroine who did not pilfer a couple of daddy's beers at some point...

Marijuana Use Disorder.

Get the F outta here. What they mean is potheads. And potheads don’t bother anything except snacks in the pantry.

Oh brother. How are they marketing to kids? They can't advertise and, at least in Oregon, their windows have to be covered so that nobody can see inside the dispensary from outside. They card you as soon as you walk in the door.

So again, how are they marketing to kids? I'm not turning off my ad blocker to read the article.

This is the dumbest take I’ve seen in a while here. And that’s something to be very proud of because that bar is very high.

Cannabis is one of the highest regulated industries in the country. Minors can’t even enter a building that dispenses cannabis products. They have no need or desire to market to kids.

My biggest issue with kids doing weed is that they are more likely to make bad decisions on weed, like driving stoned. And they have less self control than an adult and will waste their money doing it everyday.


I've made worse decisions when drunk than when high.
