The approval of the drug’s recreational and medicinal consumption in dozens of states over the last decade has been accompanied by benefits like destigmatization and the growth of a multi-million-dollar industry, but problematic use and the continued incarceration of individuals on possession charges tarnish its successful narrative

    Commodification ruined cannabis. Fuck big money, grow weed in your back yard and share with your dawgs.

      Yup big cannabis is already doing shitty things to try to get their strangle hold over the space. They will be pretty awful at a state level once fed legislation hits I think.

        Yeah but they are all like 5mg for 20$ in NYS. Edibles are a scam here. Complete rip off. You can get some distillate for a fraction of the price and add it to some mct oil, or if you don’t mind the added work and want a more full spectrum experience just decarb some bud or dabs and infuse that

          Yeah I mean I haven’t set foot in a dispo in years so you’re kind of preaching to the choir lol.

          My assumption is that most people are probably going to a dispo so that’s why I mentioned it. I was drinking feco infused cherry limeade last night.

        I’ve tried a weed slushy. It had fruit flavors too, but the weed just makes it taste dirty. I finished it, but wouldn’t recommend.

          Ya I’m iffy on edibles (or drinkables in this case) already, and the taste is actually a detractor imo.

          I’d rather just smoke tbh.

        I’ve tried one of them, imo it tasted pretty bad. Was just carbonated water with a weed taste, probably exactly what you’d imagine

          Have a crack at making your own sometime. Really fun, cost effective, and gets you fried. I recommend pot chocolate if you like hot chocolate. Best I’ve ever had was .25 grams of decarbed wax, 1.5tbsp butter, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and I threw a shot of jack in for good measure 👍

          Ah. Well maybe they don’t suck everywhere lol. I’d just make my own by adding a tincture to the soda if that was my thing.
