I quit smoking weed about a year ago. I used to like getting stoned, and I still probably would, but I swear that the dispensaries started to exclusively sell weed that won't get you stoned.

Seriously guys, this despite how silly all this sounds, I am dead serious:

I used to drink Budweiser. 4 Budweisers used to be enough to turn my lights off. But the last 2 times I bought a 6 pack of Budweiser, I drank all 6 and nothing. Not the slightest bit tipsy. Not even enough to make me stumble.

I'm a serious guy. I joke around a little, but this is a serious story. Why does weed not get me high anymore? I suppose there could be some idiots growing it, and there could have been some bad harvests. Ok, fine. But beer won't get me drunk either? That is ridiculous! I tried Budweiser, Heineken, Becks, all of my favorite brands. And nothing. No buzz.

So I started wondering: Why would the elites NOT want us inebriated? They elites want us sober for some reason. That's why the shitty weed, and that's why the shitty Budweiser. I googled it and Budweiser IS a member of the World Economic Forum. And I didn't bother checking, but so are probably Heineken and Becks. So tonight I thought "Hmm, what if I drink local IPA?"

I bought a 6 pack of a local IPA and sure enough, I'm buzzed. The local IPA isn't a World Economic Forum member, and they are still letting their customers get buzzed.

That is science. That is doing your own statistics.

So why do they want us sober? What is that all about? For me, it's a proven fact. But why? We were allowed to get drunk during Biden's regime, but they want us sober now? What gives?

Can anyone confirm that any local drunks are still drunk? Anyone pissing themselves at the E.R. in your town?

That is possible. Are there regulations in your area that prevent the dispensaries from selling you weed above a "certain power" (I don't know
how that is measured in weed)?

Your alcohol "stamina" is likely increasing. Remember your first few
drinks and how easily you got drunk? Then remember how it started to take
a few more?

It is also possible that Budweiser has lowered the alcohol content.

Also, remember how eating before, or while, drinking makes it more
difficult to get a buzz.

I'm a serious guy. I joke around a little, but this is a serious story. Why does weed not get me high anymore? I suppose there could be some idiots growin
it, and there could have been some bad harvests. Ok, fine. But beer won't get me drunk either? That is ridiculous! I tried Budweiser, Heineken, Becks, all o

The longer you drink, the more it takes for you to feel a buzz.

Why wouldn't they want you drunk is what I would ask. Inebriated people usually make poorer decisions, as do stoned people, so I would expect that
a drunk populace would be to their advantage.

I bought a 6 pack of a local IPA and sure enough, I'm buzzed. The local IPA isn't a World Economic Forum member, and they are still letting their customer
get buzzed.

I would check but I would suspect your local IPA probably has a higher percentage of alcohol in it, and may have always been that way.

I don't think so. There's actually regulations that require the weed to
contain the amount of THC specified on the label, but the thing is, weed can easily be weakened by improperly storing it. So I suspect that the dispensaries are intentionally storing it improperly so people go through it faster and
buy more and more of it.

I know what you're saying about building up a tolerance, eating before drinking, etc. You're right, and that stuff has always been the case. But weird stuff is happening. I didn't drink any alcohol for probably 6 months, maybe longer, and in the past few weeks I've been trying to get back into it, but it's just not working anymore. It could be a regional thing, but I don't know.

Do you still see people getting drunk around your town?

I drink IPAs. I actually live in the Southern Tier, and I had Southern Tier Brewing Company IPA 2 days ago. It got me a little buzzed, but it still seems weaker than it used to be. (I got the 7% one. The 8% one is not much different I've had it.)

This is a sign that you're disconnected from reality. A drive from Alberta to NYC would take a lot longer than that.

They make M&Ms intentionally not-satisfying so that you eat more. So doing the same with weed makes sense.

A tolerance thing.

One year in college, my grandpa got really sick. Not "you need to go to the hospital" sick, just a really bad flu. He had been a long time smoker but while he had the flu he couldn't smoke. When he recovered, he found that he couldn't start smoking again. It just bothered him too much.

Do you still see people getting drunk around your town?

Ha! In Michigan?! Because of our Tyrant and her criminal gang running things many people don't have the money.

Semi-joking aside, when there are big party weekends, I **do** see fewer people buying beer, etc. at the store.

Could be they are doing it on purpose, or it could be that they are just "businesspeople" who got into it thinking it was lucrative and are not
actual "connoseurs" (sp?) themselves -- they've never smoked it and/or
don't know much about it.

If I had got into that business (they made it VERY difficult to get into
here when they legalized it), I probably wouldn't know how to store it
properly as I would be in it for the money and don't smoke it.

I honestly don't pay that much attention, and I no longer hang out at
places where I would really notice. My recollection is that most of the "partiers" looking to get drunk are doing so after dark, and I am probably
in bed. If I drink, I do so at home.

And the same thing is happening with the booze I bet, unless you drink non-WEF beer like I had the other day.

If this is really what's going on, then they're just destroying (the only thing they're good at) any chance of me ever buying any more weed or beer.

Semi-joking aside, when there are big party weekends, I **do** see fewer people buying beer, etc. at the store.

Same here. My town is a college town, and it's not like it used to be. We used to have the streets crowded with drunk (or partying at least) college students every weekend, but it's gotten very quiet lately. I bet it's because nobody can get drunk.

That's a good point but the thing is, weed storage is too easy to accidentally screw up. It's just like if you keep your ice cream at too high of a temperature, or milk. It's not rocket science. They almost have to be doing this on purpose.

Notice how milk trucks are refrigerated? I don't believe that the weed is being air conditioned while it's en-route from the growing facility to the dispensaries. I haven't seen any "weed trucks."

Maybe there is something going on. I would suspect less of a conspiracy and more of a case of "we can make more money if we water our product down."

Isn't that a perfect example of a conspiracy?

I'm the same way. I don't drink socially either. Just me and my computer.

Yea that Alex guy just thinks he's cool because there's weed that supposedly tests at 30% sometimes, but that stuff is never what it's cracked up to be. People (like me) go and buy a ton of it thinking that it's strong stuff, and then it's crap.

Weed isn't good for everyone, but if you ever try it again, do edibles. They are the way to go.
