I'm 35 live in suburbs of Pittsburgh. I would say over the past year or so pot is being used literally everywhere. I smell and see it literally everyday. At home in the burbs smoke billows from houses and cars, grocery stores all smell like weed, people blow at my work on breaks. Its illegal rec here still but its basically like smoking cigs now. Seems the vaping pens really made things easier and more accessible. So is it like this everywhere nowadays?

I would bet for people under 32, marijuana is more widely consumed than alcohol

I recently went to a marijuana dispensary in Massachusetts. The place opens at 10am and the line started forming at 9:15. By the time 10 hits and the place opens there were at least 75 people in line. I was told it’s like that every day. I would say the majority of people in line were older people(40 or above). The place is also located near New York and Connecticut borders so most were from out of state. I would say it’s very common everywhere

Let's say this. I'm in the minority as someone who despises potheads

Yeah the vape pen things are everywhere here in Chicago, hard to tell sometime if they are tobacco or hemp oil cartridges

It's pretty common and relatively harmless, certainly not worthy of sending people to jail for mere possession of small amounts, in most states if it's not legal it is usually just a minor charge like a parking ticket and doesn't earn you a criminal record. It's kinda silly for it to be legal in say Ma, but not in CT . Personally I haven't smoked anything in 10+ years but was once a pothead, even a small time dealer always had at least 4 ounces, the traditional triple beam scale,etc.many days I'd bust my (__*__) all day doing construction work,come home and have people waiting at my door and make more money in 15 minutes than I made all day working, and I was small time, the good old days back in the barrio in Carlsbad, Ca. I can never be persecuted for it, the statue of limitations covers that . I loved that neighborhood, specifically Roosevelt street area, known locally as the barrio. It's mostly Mexicans there, but I fit right in somehow. I looked up the duplex I used to live at, it was nothing fancy at all, sold for about 200 k in 1999 or so, now valued at 1.2 million, I couldn't even afford to move back there and literally live on the wrong side of the train tracks. It's a short walk to the Beach, crossing the train tracks, the other side is even more expensive, it wasn't ridicorous back in the 80's, couldn't touch it now .

Is medical pot still actually ill eagle in some states, I thought that was pretty universal by now . I know perhaps 10 states now permit, regulate and of course tax recreational weed. I never thought I'd see that day in my lifetime and ironically I no longer even smoke it.

A state like CT just loses so much potential tax revenue to Ma, when all we have to do is drive just over the border to Springfield for some . That will change pretty soon. It will become fully legal just about everywhere in the next 5-10 years, with the possible exception of Utah, those Morman people there are unlike any other place, Utah is like a different country, almost akin to the Amish people that are way different but they don't have their own state.
Utah is great very beautiful and clean and probably the safest place in the country, I just don't think I'd fit in there, way to religious and I'm A devout athiest, used to say agnostic, but got more honest.

I've never tried Marijuana and never will.

Don't even like cigarettes much less that stuff.

But.....It's proven to help ppl cope with illnesses in different ways and sorry if I offend anyone but you should be ashamed of yourself if your against medical legalization.

I think youve got it backwards a bit.

Much less like cigarettes? The two arennt comparable. There are a lot of healthy ways to intake marijuana now, even through smoking. Cigarettes do nothing for you and dont even get you high. What good is that? Thats a waste.

Just not into it or drugs.

Smoke is smoke to me.

However, I have nothing against ppl that do use it and think it's laughable that the govt considers it illegal when it grows right out of the ground.

Do you drink coffee? Red bull?
