    I did the same thing once. It is not the same stuff or even close.

    Legalizing recreational marijuana leads to increased sales of ice cream, cookies and chips, according to a first-of-its-kind study establishing a causal relationship between legal cannabis and junk food consumption. “You think marijuana does no harm — that’s pretty much the consensus today,” said Georgia State University economist Alberto Chong in an interview with The Academic Times. “But there are unintended consequences, and one of them is the fact that you really get very hungry and you start eating crap.”

    Chong and co-author Michele Baggio of the University of Connecticut found that legalizing recreational marijuana causes junk food sales to rise by about 6.3% in terms of sales and 5.1% by volume. The authors presented their findings in the December 2020 issue of Economics & Human Biology.

    DUH!!

    Recreational marijuana became legal in Arizona today.

    They showed the new dispensary, people lined up out the door and down the street.

    It looks like a fast food restaurant, with a counter and menus behind it, looks like you order your dope, same as you would, burgers and fries.

    Medical marijuana has been available here in AZ since 2012 and literally anyone who wanted a card could get one, so I don't expect sales to skyrocket or anything in the long run. It will still be cheaper on the street, so those people won't be going out of business any time soon. My own reactions to pharmaceutical substances are somewhat unpredictable, so I certainly won't be indulging.
