I actually like the general expression they set up for people. They're doing stuff they enjoy, but they're not really enjoying it. It's the same dose of fats and sugars and pornography as yesterday, it's got no edge, it's just routine. They don't seem to properly hate stuff either, it's just sort of a numb…

My buddy went to Vietnam the other year and came back with footage of him semi-successfully trying to ride an ostrich while a bunch of locals look on and holler at the dumb white guy. It's definitely not Blade Runner in that part of Vietnam

It won't replace it, but a bubbler of something clever goes great on the side.

We're getting there. I can just smell all the unbroken homes

The dude will laugh and pick you out a good one

Yeah we should be, but we're not.

That seems to be how the states do it. Two hundred million in taxes in Colorado last year, you better fucking believe the cops are gonna chill out when they get a cut of something like that

They're better in recreational states. They're all dosed to the milligram, so after a little bit calibration you can find a number that agrees with you.

I hate in when people say that. Yes, it won't kill you, gold star. That doesn't mean you can't fuck yourself up severely if you don't know what you're doing.

Would you ever be interested in trying it again? With modern strain information and lab results, you can fine tune your experience to a surprising degree.

It takes some practice, but there's this wonderful sweet spot where you can smoke basically an infinite amount of pot and keep rampaging around. My primary friend group is really good at this, but whenever somebody brings their friend from work or whatever you end up feeling bad for the guy.

That's what I'm thinking. We've got more dispensaries in my city than starbucks and mcdonalds combined and we're allowed to grow four plants per house without even filling out any paperwork, good fucking luck popping everybody with a couple grams in their pocket. That's one city in one recreational state and it…

Imagine trying to watch cheech and chong after weed's been legal and ubiquitous for a hundred years. Stoner culture is already getting a lot less tie-dyed in the legal states, it'll be utter nonsense.

Yeah I'm at about the same spot. It's not as bad as drunk driving, but it's still a really stupid thing to decide to do.

The big issue for me is drunk drivers who are also smoking pot. Doing both is a thing a lot of people are not good at

That's usually what I'm doing anyway and I tell you what, he still hasn't showed up.

If you get way back into the topic, you'll see a distinction between "rope vs dope." If I remember my books right, indicas were being developed for drug-using purposes in the east forever, while the hemp in Europe was just being used for ship sails and so forth. It's my understanding that these were sativas, not yet…

It's literally called marijuana to make it sound Mexican. Some people in the industry get really touchy about calling it anything but cannabis. Personally I'll call a nug a Garfield toe if it sounds funny in the moment, but I've had people correct me.

It's a really excellent industrial plant, they're going to make money on this one. Better than cotton for textiles, and it grows much faster, so you can make a lot more shit in a lot less time

Yes it is
