Yep. I’m with you. My only addition is any attempt to change my mind would be a waste of time.
Leave it to Commiefornia to screw up legal marijuana.
No shortage of dispensaries in Fresno. Higher level, Embarc , Buds for life to name a few. Old 7-11s get converted to weed dispensaries. No one works and everybody is high . Where ever you drive you smell weed.
For my pain I use a cream that’s THC/CBD in equal quantities. Mine is 2000/2000.
Because it’s applied externally it doesn’t enter the bloodstream.
No high or buzz.
It’s expensive, but it works.
No need for that the State lottery already solved that problem. </s>
That worked out swell.
“Most of the market is hood rats and teen/20-something wanting a cheap buzz.”
Well, here in SE WA State we have no hood rats and the customer base is split about evenly between your young cheap buzz types and gray hairs looking for medical uses. In fact, sometimes when I drive by the shop during the daytime it’s almost all gray hairs.
“CBD hype is a snakeoilsman scam. “
There may be some hype involved but CBD is an effective anti-spasmodic for me.
Hey now. That’s an essential food group. (Liquor stores sacrosanct and untouched during COVID)
Either way I really don't care. Not everyone who picks up a drink becomes an alcoholic and certainly not everyone who smokes pot is a ‘’pothead’’. I just know what both did to me so what ever poison someone chooses, well....such is the proclivity of human nature to, as poet Oscar Wilde put it "Curing the soul by means of the senses''. 34 years ago the gates of Hell swung open and kicked me out.
Never looked back and don't miss the stuff.
