Legal weed changed my life. I didn't have to go knock on Dave's door anymore and now I just go to the store and pull out my loyalty card. I can't imagine going back to one of those idiot states where it's still illegal.

That would take years to study. I quit smoking in 2010. In 2019 I was diagnosed with COPD. I tried to do a good thing for myself and I still got bit.

This is a stupid comparison.

The only thing that make tobacco and cannabis comparable is the preferred method of delivery.

And, fark, not even that for long.

about 20% of the adult population - said they had used cannabis (including edibles) in the past 30 days.

Most young people I know either use edibles, or else vape or dab.

Burning the flower is for teh olds.

Me too.  I ate an edible, lost my security clearance, job, and now half the job opportunities I would otherwise apply for are simply unavailable because I can't get re-cleared.

Ok, not really, but if I did eat one, that's what would happen.

I suppose I should be proud that Vegas is on the list, considering how just a few years ago smoking was just ridiculously profuse in this city, indoors and outdoors. It wasn't really until COVID that there was a real crackdown on that.

> In the Seattle area, the popularity of cannabis products easily exceeds that of cigarettes, e-cigarettes and vaping, according to new data from market-research firm Nielsen.

Why is Nielsen collecting data on nicotine/cannabis usage?

Is this to help companies target their media offerings and product advertising to stoners?

Good one.

A long time ago Nothern Idaho (e.g., CDA, the Silver Valley) was considerably more Democratic compared with the Republican southern part of the state. It was also a hotbed of IWW activity in the early 20th century. Unfortunately, the pro-Democratic vote steadily decreased as the union jobs disappeared with the decline of the lumber and mining industries. (Idaho's passage of a right-to-work law also did a lot to make sure unions didn't get another foothold in the state.) At the same time, more arch-conservatives and reactionaries from California began moving in and shifting the political spectrum to the far right. That's why the region (with the exception of Moscow) now considers people from even the solidly Republican Boise area as RINOs at best or covert ANTIFA members and sympathizers.
