That was referring to January 1st, 2020.


If they ever wonder why everybody in Illinois still buys their stuff from the same people they did before the cash grab, all they have to do is look at a receipt.





LOL. Back before I last quit, I was still getting an ounce for $90.

They just paid $301 for 5.1 grams, and almost 1/3rd of that was Illinois tax.

There are 28.3 grams in an ounce.

I know that new pot shop stuff is supposed to be da bomb, but I better not hear anybody smoking pot shop weed in Illinois ever bitching that they don't make enough money at their jobs.



Although I can't give them shit for not just growing their own yet. Illinois, of course, is one of the few states that doesn't even bother to hide the fact that changing their moral stance on cannabis use was just a complete desperate cash grab since it's still illegal to grow any amount of it on your own.

Weed's fine. What's criminal is that weed is illegal, but booze and cigarettes are legal.

I support full legalization, including being able to grow your own in a garden (especially if your state is gouging you with taxes on it).

I haven't smoked weed in almost 7 years now, despite the fact I'm around people who do it all the time. When I'm in Illinois, they're doing so legally too.


Quitting weed was especially easy, once you make it past the first week or two of changing your behavior patterns.

It was much easier to do that than it was to quit drinking. Quitting drinking required me to fill my days with an old project I had abandoned for nearly a decade because it had become an obsession that was consuming my life. For a full six months I did nearly nothing but work on that project to escape the hold I had allowed alcohol to have on me. The minor hits of serotonin I got from completing super-repetitive tasks were enough to get me over that hump. One month away now from 5 years of sobriety, and I can go anywhere people are drinking and talk to them all night while they're getting drunk and I've just got a bottle of water in my hand.


Quitting smoking? Heh... Maybe someday. It's been engineered for a century to be the most addictive "controlled" substance in the world. My grandma says she salivates every time smoking comes up in conversation even though she quit smoking 42 years ago.

Really... It's not that big a deal, dude.

It's not like it was hard to get when it was illegal. It certainly wasn't.

And it's not as if I go into Illinois now and 100% of people are smoking it now that you can smoke it recreationaly. They aren't.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.
