Coca cola would you hurry the fuck up with bringing me weed infused cola!
- Lots of dispos are offering weed drinks now. I've never tried them, but it's a thing.

  I've tried one of them, imo it tasted pretty bad. Was just carbonated water with a weed taste, probably exactly what you'd imagine
- I would think that weed infused with cocaine would be a more profitable product
Commodification ruined cannabis. Fuck big money, grow weed in your back yard and share with your dawgs.

  It's definitely easier for me to talk because it's legal here, I feel bad for y'all where it's not.
- Yup big cannabis is already doing shitty things to try to get their strangle hold over the space. They will be pretty awful at a state level once fed legislation hits I think.
"Next up: lobbyists are complaining that the prison-industrial complex is chronically missing projected earnings, to the tune of roughly 40 billion dollars."
- Well better push more drugs on people and arrest them!
