CNN Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten spends this April 20th looking at the amount of money Americans spent on legal marijuana in 2022. The number tops other recreational indulgences like chocolate. #CNN #News
Americans are buying more marijuana than chocolate
I mean bruh what’d you expect Canada been doing it right all along! Lol 😂 happy 420 ppl
The first thing you do when you wake is take care of head. Smoke two joints before you smoke two joints, and then you smoke two more.
I wish they’d make it legal in North Carolina! I have multiple sclerosis and I could use the pain relief…. And for those that think no it doesn’t help… Trust me it does I’m allergic to every pain medication on the market so for me it helps
Yeah my girlfriend smokes it and she has MS
@JLAUDIO710 that’s sounds fantastic idea
@Thomas Holt try it, it works. good luck, and sorry for your MS, it will work as medicine for your MS.
Illegalities never stopped most of us, you gotta take care of yourself and stop relying on Big Brother too cuz He won’t.😊
You do know that THC comes in confections too? Like gummies and chocolates. 😛
You don’t have to smoke if you don’t want to.
@Peter S My concern is when some cheap Chinese vape manufacturer (or material provider) uses the wrong plastic; and then we inhale it right into our lungs.
edibles have been around for years lol. You peeps are behind.
@Jay Gatsby It’s a very real concern you raise. I won’t buy extracts in plastic, only glass.
@Peter S try live rosin instead of distillate. You’ll thank me. 🙏🏼
@thedylangirl LOL, thanks, but I’m more of a sesquiterpene fan and don’t really like monoterpenes as much. I first made honey oil over 20 years ago and I’ve made rosin since 2015 when I got the iron technique directly from Soilgrown (the inventor) in a HashChurch stream with Bubbleman. The serious problem with rosin is that people make it using parchment made with silicone oil. When that oil gets vaporized it condenses into particulate silicon at the molecular level which is hugely destructive to lungs. I won’t go near rosin unless I know it was not separated using silicone oil parchment. I’ll never buy rosin from a source I don’t know personally.
Weed took care of my addiction to alcohol. Now, I spend a ton less, feel healthier and I’m at work on time and ready to go. These days I’ll buy a nice bottle of wine once a month for socials and that’s good.
this
@Reverend Brown ANYTHING can be addictive reverend. Some people have the mental capacity to handle it, and some don’t. I know people addicted to god. Some have the mental capacity to see bullshit and some don’t. But thanks for your highly educated interjection lol.
@Bill Jim And you make it look like it’s a big step up to replace one drug for another, pretending he’ll live until he’s 90. At least be honest.
I’m not a cannabis person, however im glad you guys are able to do it, without being thrown in jail. Especially with the hypocrisy of alcohol.
@COCKY TALK Same thing in ohio. My opinion, red states, that’s mostly why.
Yah alcohol is bad for gateway to anything including hell.
The amount of money legalized states are making in taxes justifies it being legal for all states.
Absolutely, legalize it, but if you smoke it around other people and exhale it near them you are involuntarily drugging those people and should be arrested, charged with a crime, and be open to lawsuits and damages. You wanna drug yourself go ahead, don’t do it to me unless you want trouble. It’s not all about your rights, it’s about the rights of others around you as well.
@Billy SBC You will not get drugged if someone exhales marijuana smoke right into your face and you take the deepest breath possible. Let me ask what you have done to stop cigarette smokers? Next, let’s say I did force you to inhale marijuana smoke. What damages would any court award you for that?
@David Armillie No but he’d have to inhale a gross carcinogenic smell without his consent. It’s the same with cigarette smoke, they deserve to be called out equally. Why is it so rare for these smokers to care about anyone but themselves?
then you have to look at the health care savings from not having the refined sugar addiction from alcohol and chocolate
Damn right how else are we to cope with the end of the world
😲 I’m so surprised by that. I bet the chip companies have made more 😅
I’d rather have a bag of chips vs. a candy bar 🤔
I live in the medieval state of Indiana. If your cool about it and don’t drive it’s pretty much overlooked here, allegedly. I’m a Veteran with PTSD and I don’t really care. I’m 30 minutes from a state that’s legal. Where do you think all our money goes. It’s just dumb. Why can’t the feds get it together? Happy 4:20!
I live in Washington state. Our rec store parking lots are filled with cars from Idaho!
@MicahMane Indianapolis here and I agree it needs to be changed
@MicahMane I’m a country guy. Around here it’s pretty much live and let live. I just race cars and mind my own business. I lived 2 decades in SoCal and I came back here and love it. We just need to vote.
Sucks lots of us can’t use basic cbd products and the like due to drug tests for jobs, but they’re OK with us getting that Xanax prescription and being even more intoxicated off that.
“GOD doesnt make mistakes.” – Cannabis
“I make a lot of mistakes.” – Pharmacist
Yeah. Down with Daylight Saving Time!
Wait, what were we talking about?
Xanax? Seriously? Literally try never?
NOT a mystery. Anyone who’s ever smoked chocolate knows why reefer took over.
LMFAO
I tried smoking salmon, but herb seemed the better choice.
Well I’m a guy from the hood in marijuana and chocolate are one of man’s greatest inventions especially when you want to get high LMAO😂😂😂😂
I gave up smoking tobacco after 30 years. Now I only smoke weed because I’m a better person when I do. I still crave tobacco every day though.
Maybe give up ‘smoking’ in general. People who quit tobacco fully rarely have any feeling for the stuff once detoxed, like myself. Good luck with that.
I quit tobacco ten days ago. after 32 years.
James B. Right now it’s the only way I can regulate my dosing while I try other options like edibles, etc. There’s a strain I use that helps with my health issues, and ultimately I’d like to grow my own plant. It IS a bad habit, I know. It’s still not a pack a day like I used to smoke 😂
Im American and I smoke weed.
I know a lot of benefits from both smoking and not smoking, so Im glad people are able to practice their freedom of choice to choose wether they want too or not.
I prefer “aroma” to “stench”, and I might add that it smells a lot better than cigarette smoke!!
They both stink to me. Probably why I don’t use either one.
Don calling out the stench word.. Love it
Got me singing here. Always loved that song by Rick James. Had no business singing this as a child when it came out. Understood every word. Lol
And let’s not forget Teena Marie! White Chocolate.
Not sure if the caucasian persuasion know about her. But our community most certainly is do. Absolutely loved seeing them two in concert. May they both RIP. We miss you.
Having a license to grow (more than the standard amount allowed) and it overall being legal in Canada, allows me to know exactly what I’m smoking and what is being used when growing eliminating the risk of other crap being added. Now if done right with high quality seeds or clippings the bud is far better than the majority I’ve purchased legal or illegally. What makes growing your own even better if you’re someone like myself whose preference is hash, you can make some great bubble hash with the trimmings and make use of more of the plant, and it’s not difficult at all.
It’s definitely an aroma, not a stench. It’s the smell of happiness.
