the weed, thread

this, is crazy

https://nypost.com/2018/02/01/inside-this-states-loophole-where-you-can-gift-weed/

can bars start doing this?  i'll buy the glass, and get the beer "gifted to me."

weed is blasé.  weed is boring.  weed is almost legal . . . so get over it and your,self.  i am glad i quit doing it, though, because it is a drug that controls you to some degree, like alcohol, like tobacco . . . and smoke is bad.

the, end . . . of this post, not this thread.

edit, and i know we have a legal drugs . . . wheee thread, but pot is not legal, and pot should not be discussed there.

now, the, end again.

John Boehner, a long-time hardcore anti-pot government official, has now suddenly changed his mind and wants it fully legal so everybody can have it. Of course he also just decided to be a part of a company that grows and sells it so he can become a billionaire off of it.

Fuck, him.

what a boner

by the way recreational use and sale of weed in dc is kind of this weird limbo

but get on instagram, find a 171 compliant event…the quality, selection and price are all amazing!

pot news goes here.

I am enjoying this whole . . . weed was evil, weed is the devil, you can't smoke or even have that in here our establishment, and did we mention it's evil and satan and horrible and you better starting paying $11 for a beer, to make up for how horrible it is.

until now . . . when you can make a buck off it.

fuck off, America.

Noted…do like the title of that other thread…even though it was about cough medicine when it was started

So you make in point that makes me think about the price per buzz comparison …especially with legal weed

I can get a sweet pre-rolled 1 g cone for around $8 and that will keep 5 or so people probably happy for a few hours
Take getting craft beer at a bar (easily $10 a pint after tax/tip)
…that tab would close to $150 and people will probably only be slightly buzzed

Obviously totally different experiences
I love good beer, but the hole that it has been putting in my wallet is enormous
You can't even get shitty beer for less than $6
I paid $10 for a bomber of Natty Boh at soundstage…that's insane

This has been my go to concert buzz for 2018. This plus one or two beers = cheap night and good buzz.

Where do you get those ^^^^ ?

My gf and I have become big proponents of weed gummies. Every Sunday for the last month or two, we've each popped a gummy and then wandered around one museum or another staring at art. Yesterday was the Hirshhorn.

Hopefully you hit the Burning Man exhibit at the Renwick.  I believe it's just one floor now but very worthwhile.

You know, I really liked that exhibit, but I felt like the whole idea of a Burning Man museum exhibit (complete with gift shop) was kind of antithetical to the whole Burning Man anti-commoditization ethos.

I feel like the Burning Man event long ago lost any philosophical ethos it may have had in the 90s, but I say that not really knowing anything about it apart from the people that are SOOOO INTO IT BRO.

And hell yeah, we did Burning Man the prior weekend was Renwick. We'd just finished lunch and were wondering what to do next. I checked my Instagram and a friend had posted about the BM exhibit and 20 minutes later, we were floating around the Renwick and really enjoying it. I think it closes very soon so go check it out ASAP.

while I've never done a burn and yes it's not the same as the 90s
it's amazing that a city of 60K people can just appear in the desert and be gone a few weeks later
no government involvment
and other than your entrance fee…supposed to be a no cash zone…bartertown (just like road warrior…with out all the violence)

I regret not doing it once when I lived on the west coast
yes burners are a little over the top about it…but there really is no comparison to anything else

Went to that on Labor Day. Show closes in two stages, if the first isn't already done, it will be imminently. Great exhibit. The vehicles were amazing.

The only thing worse than Burning Man is the incessant post Burning Man discussion about how impactful it was on the participants…

I pretty much put Burning Man into the same category as Crossfit. Positive and cool in theory, but it all goes away in a shitstorm when you have to be around the people who do it.
