congrats!!!

here's another high-school mind-blown level thought for you, TF

I think we all realize that Corporate Weed is inevitable. will the Evil Weed Scientists be able to distort weed into something truly fucked up like they did with the classic tobacco cigarette?

Eh, I have few thoughts on futurecasting legal recreational cannabis, none of which are novel. I will say that the marijuana landscape is, even with all the M&A that's been going on of late, way too fractured and way too regulated to see any sort of consolidated corporate hegemonic ldj;lajker;lakejr in the short-to-medium term. In California, anyhow. A fun wrinkle: there's all sorts of regulations on cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and retail—but there's nothing that indicates how you get the original plant legally. Very unmoved mover type waiz.

right - I'm curious about beyond-medium term, when the entire supply chain is legitimized and Big Weed is firing on all cylinders... what does weaponized weed look like? nicotine is obviously one of the most chemically addictive things out there, so that industry had a leg up, but at the same time one might think that the baseline addicitiveness of the product would suggest LESS need for refinement. yet they still ran wild with it. so where's weed headed, maaaaaaaan?

if you ever have the opportunity to name any weed strain, ever, and DON'T name it something Robert themed, you have abandoned your responsibilities. I'll always love you unconditionally but just saying.

They should do some kinda goddamn thing to inject danger back into weed. All kids do now is try dabs and fall down because it's too much.
When I was a kid it was possible to imagine that weed was evil. That's fucking cool. Now smoking weed probably helps with your problems and makes Danzig LESS cool, which is a shame.

:lol: that's just because DARE was working their asses off to keep a kid off drugs. we might have to let that one go.

100% in favor of robert being immortalized via weed though

I think just on a market and end-user standpoint, the more apt comparison is to alcohol and not tobacco? So that changes the calculus greatly imho. The alcohol industry has shown that you can have an effectively unadulterated product that isn't per se going to kill you and has myriad sub-markets that don't really cannibalize each other. I guess a pending question is whether cannabis synthesizes with that larger intoxicant market or remains an external competitor—but consider, like, wine bars versus brewpubs. The end-user market—your restaurateurs, entertainment and hospitality companies, etc.—will inevitably embrace cannabis as just another capitalizable market segment.

I dread when cannabis enters the Lime-a-rita/Smirnoff Ice phase of its existence, though.

haven't seen a big increase in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome here since recreational marijuana was legalized.

CHS is an interesting condition and makes abundant sense when so much of the Fun Neurotransmitter Stuff is synthesized/routed through the gut; and really, anybody that's a heavy user of basically anything to the levels necessary to trigger CHS would for sure be experiencing some real deal problems themselves.

Man I was there and wanted to see him but... I don't know what happened. Alcohol I reckon and that fest was nuts.

Very mixed feeling about the event; The documentary was Bad, but had lots of cool interviews with a bunch of metal dudes and the tour of his studio is was awesome.
He didn't show up on stage or anything, but they did like 5 minutes of live calls piped in. And people gave him phone numbers to call, but guess what it was 11pm PST and every call went to voicemail.
And then they were like time's up! we gotta let other bands play.
These aren't mixed feelings it sucked

that does suck. when i saw him he just played music. no phone calls. at least none that i recall. the bar also tried to keep my credit card because instead of charging me for the drinks i was buying they were testing it to see if it was good for the drink. just fucking charge me you idiots. it was basically charging me double. so i went to get cash out of the atm and it wouldnt let me because they basically ran my account dry. they said i would have to come back and get it the next day and the money would be free. fuck you. my friend ended up paying my bill and i dont think i ever paid her back. whoops
