    This is just going to make them cool as hell for kids???

    Trust me I grew up with marijuana being illegal and somehow it made marijuana, the least edgey drug I have ever encountered, feel edgey and cool.

      I think it was the back alley deals that made weed cool and the bit of camaraderie that comes along with the in-group baddies smoking weed.

      Now you just go into a shop and there’s a 19+ year old trying to sell you the ultra super duper bubble gum thunder blitz hybrid with 91% THC that you smoke through the shatter bong. Feels like Vegas when you just want a Doobie.

        What made weed cool was that weed was made illegal because of racism and was always cool… we are just addicted to the forms of racism that disappear when you look right at them more than we are willing to let ourselves have cool things.
