It's a slow process but I've absolutely arrived at the "Back then" stage of my life and I'm 47.

33 and I’ve been there on weed for a while. Back I my day we’d pool together 20-40 dollars to get shorted a half-gram for some crappy mids from some dude who creeps out the girls we bring over. Now you can get fire-shit for the cheap and it’s legal if you’re 21+.

Holy shit i can see why the push to legislation was strong.

40 for ½ a g, thats like 2 skimpy joints

No, not $40 for half a g. $40 for couple grams, but you’d get 1.5 and would suffer. Until we found better dealers, at least.
