cannabis is no longer sold by the teenager down the street that drives the firebird trans-am.

it is sold in cannabis shops, and no adults will sell it to kids.

that is why less kids have access. and it is why kids slam cars into cannabis shops to steal it.

Where do you live where kids are crashing cars into pot shops?

No shit, buying illegal drugs requires a face to face interaction. Everything that depends even tagentially on interpersonal skills is plummeting in engagement in the generation that learned most of thier social skills through a screen.

All went downhill since the silk road got shut down. Gotta find dealers the old fashioned way by word of mouth again.

I order all my weed through a website that delivers it

I think it’s more likely related to the increased use (intentional or not) of fentanyl. More like playing Russian roulette.

Cool, now ban disposable vapes.

Edit: I’m pro-legalization for most drugs. Disposable vapes just result in too much unnecessary plastic waste.

Or, you know, prosecute the people giving them to kids and remove the tobacco license of those selling it to kids... Like you do when kids get alcohol or pot.

Disposable vapes need banned because of their effect on the environment. That’s not exclusive to kids.

The war on drugs is about as effective on Australias war on emu's.

If you don't know about the war on emus, check it out. It's pretty funny.
