That’s OK the illegal kind is still better
Nah fuck that. Illegal pot kinda sucks and forces you to hang out with pot dealers which is such a coin flip. But regardless it's still way better to just swing by a shop and pick up a thing of edibles to keep around.
You just need better people to get it from. I don’t deal with sketchy people.
Cool, but sometimes I just want pot. Like, best case scenario dealers have been women I occasionally hit up for weed and occasionally hit up for sex, which was pretty great in my early-mid 20s, at which point I'd get whatever they had to offer (their favorite bud, or maybe edibles from Michigan). It was pleasant but it was a whole ass thing and usually I had to buy in small quantities.
I'm in my 30s now, everywhere I've lived recently has had fully legal pot. It's a minor errand no different from when I notice I'm a bit low on whiskey. Thanks to the legality and ease of purchase I just keep some on hand as a general analgesic for me and sleep aid for my wife. Also I don't have to go find dealers anymore which is nice.
Not if you're black or have a disease that needs it and you're in a prison cell
