The soul of cannabis is doing just fuckin dandy in the people who appreciate the plant for what it is. What it's not doing is supporting your insane belief that profits always go up and that you can generate huge profits without consequences.

I've watched dispensaries charge up to $400 an ounce. That's insanity. Absolute nut slapping outrageous shit. I've had the same dealer for more than a decade, and prices haven't ever changed. It's $120/oz for whole flowers, or $100/oz for popcorn buds. I'm sorry if the rest of you can't figure out how to make enough money off of $600-1600/plant when your only costs are lights, dirt, and water.

People don't like being ripped off. Go figure lmao

Idk what state your in but landlords withholding deposits usually results in triple damages (eg. You get three times your deposit in damages if the court finds in your favor).

I feel like someone my age wrote this because hotels are not around $100 anymore. Last concert i went to that was sufficiently far away to justify getting a room for the night, said room was over $200, tiny, and literally the cheapest in the building.

Why would I need to go to a clothing store if I already had clothes?

Buy used. You can't put tariffs on used goods.

Counterpoint: leash laws for cats on non-private property. You can and should be able to take your cat for a walk, but you definitely shouldn't let those little murder machines out on their own.

My claim is that humanity made the Amazon rainforest what it is today. I stand by that, and my claim grows stronger with each new ancient city discovered under the trees.

You can think what you want but the science is there. People took grasslands and farmed them for generations, then died off and the forests took over. 1-2k years is nothing when it comes to geologic time.

I like pretty much anything Fred Ward was in. Remo Williams will never die

Central, north, and south America have been home to humanity for tens of thousands of years. Did you think they all just lived in mud huts and worshiped the sun?

The Amazon rainforest is less than 1000 years old. We know that because we can find 1000 year old human ruins built UNDER the rainforest. Did you think the first settlers to reach south America just lied about the cities and people's they found?

(Edit: actually 2k years back is the start of the forest. It really took off after people left and the farmland went wild)

Alright, so before the whites showed up, there were massive civilizations living where the Amazon rainforest is today. I'm talking cities of hundreds of thousands of people numbering in the dozens. A massive population center. All those people needed food, and for the most part, they farmed. A lot of ice cream bean trees, for example. They also used controlled burning to build up soil so good we still can't replicate it perfectly today (check out terra prima). At or around the time the white devils first showed up, these population centers had already been largely abandoned due to social upheaval and/or disease. We're talking within a generation or three. By the time more white devils showed up with their book burnings and God bothering, those population centers had already become myth. Took the dumb whites another couple hundred years to figure out that the city of gold wasn't literally made of gold, but rather the massive cities surrounded by cops ready for harvest. We're juuuust now finding them using LIDAR to scan what is now rainforest floor.

The cool part about humanity is we could do it again. We made the Amazon rainforest by abandoning millions of acres of farmland and letting it grow over into a rainforest. We didn't do it on purpose, but now that we understand what happened, we totally could. All it requires is multigenerational discipline. So it might as well be a dream lmao
