You go into the dispensary, look at the bud under the microscope and light and it looks amazing, but it only looks amazing re: THC crystals, it's just smoke and mirrors. It's unscrupulous. The flavour and high is lacking, severely. I’ve been saying exactly the same thing about the weed in Canada, s...

Come on world, USA and Canada, what the fucks going on. Do we have to get third word countries to show us how to live our lives and run a country What else do you expect when the government makes it easier to live as a homeless junkie, than a working-class, contributing member of society?

It's Scandinavian neighbours predictably came in next best, with Switz and Israel (stats over 3 years and they avoided some atrosities. They won't be so lucky next ye...

Right from the start, I could sense that the purpose of this thread was to make it known that most of us are losers, who are hated by the locals.

I don't think that double pricing is a quality of tourist traps. Classic examples would be vendors anywhere who have the sole concession at historical sites. But the preeminent tourist traps nowadays are the f&b concessions in airports. Lonely Planeteers may prefer the term 'traveller traps' as...
