I visited a place where recreational WEED is legal and here's what I found
I spent over a week in Grand Rapids MI where recreational weed is legal. I did not know this until after I got there. Here is what I found.

First stop was at Taco Bell, young black girl cashier was so high she could barely keep her eyes open.

Went to Target and seen a similar thing. Out in the parking lot I smelled weed. I still didnt know it was legal

Driving down the road I seen a black building all trendy lookin with neon etc. Big muscle guys with security shirts were herding the long lines of people waiting to get in. I thought "what kind of night club has a crowd like that at 3pm"?

Later , for dinner I went to a chain restaurant and inquired with the server about the 3pm night club and was told it was a pot dispensary and recreational weed was legal. I ordered a steak, it was burnt , the vegetables were cooked wrong and delivered cold.

My whole experience in GR was like this. Nobody was on there A-GAME because everyone was high. Fine details are missed, timely ness is waived, service was poor and expectations were low.

In the past , if someone showed up drinking at work theyd get fired on the spot. But with weed they turn a bind eye on high workers , high drivers, high managers etc.

This will collapse a society real quick, as a complex techno society needs attention to detail.

I live in Texas where Abbott says that he will *NEVER* legalize weed no matter what the citizens of Texas want...

And I see and smell the weed use.

The only difference is that Abbott gets a kickback from for-profit prisons and Police Departments for arrests and seizing of property.

Corrupt fucking place...and I'm a 5th generation Texan. I can't believe what a shit-hole Abbott turned Texas into.

i live in michigan all legalizing it did was put all the small time "weed mans" out of business then once that happened the dispensaries sell only imported from cali/colorado outdoor grown garbage for way more than the local guys grew it and sold it for lol. nothing else changed its still treated the same by people and cops as it was before just the guys who could afford the dispensary license couple hundred thousand dollars up front make all the money now. weed quality went down, prices went up, thats all that happened

Re: I visited a place where recreational WEED is legal and here's what I found
I can agree due to my own experiences as a line cook in the late 1990's. I worked at a higher end steakhouse and was good at making sure steak temperatures were exactly as ordered. Steakhouses offset their high food cost with low labor costs so ineffective cooks disappear quickly while the good ones make a nice wage.
I came into work 2 different times high and and that attention to detail you mention was sorely missing from me both shifts. I felt terrible about it because every plate that left that kitchen had my name on it. It was enough for me to not smoke at all anymore because I knew details only get more complex as like goes on, marital issues, kids, debt, etc. My job now would be instant termination if random has failed.
Tolerance is meeting the devil halfway.

Its called dope, for 2 reasons, and 1 is you have to be a dope to smoke it.

The ptb sure love seeing people smoke that stuff.

Not surprising what you found, and one would assume they want people like that everywhere.

Just remember that in laws in usa, they can take away the guns of people who are not well, and or not competent.

Re: I visited a place where recreational WEED is legal and here's what I found
My thoughts. Op is reading in to what he thinks. I drive truck and go all over the mid USA. Its that way every where now. No one wants to work, all places are short help and looking to hire. ALL PLACES. Its not weed causing it. I don't know what is but not just weed. Is it the vac?? I have no idea but something is changing the way people are. OP you put it all on weed. I am sure others could say its Alcohol. All your limited perception. OP hates weed so that is what is wrong. Like I said its every where now. So not falling for weed is the only problem. Ref cooked food being bad, falling asleep personal, etc etc. Something maybe way worse is going on. I have no idea what though.

Good thats dangerous territory. I bought vodka a few times before but find instead of just making a few mixed drinks I would drink the whole bottle. Now I limit myself to a few beers a couple times a week.

Using weed depends on the circumstances. Medicinal uses are optimal and can help military with PTSD cope. It's also can be used as pain management for cancer patients. And is also used as a CBD slave for pain.

Some artists/writers use it for inspiration purposes.

Recreational uses can become problematic as OP describe. This is an addictive substance. Losing one's drive, ambition, attention to detail tend to be the consequences of regular use.

Basically using it as a form of escapism can be detrimental on multiple levels.

River rafting is more fun. So is zip lining through the jungle. Swimming with the dolphins in the ocean is awesome. Skiing down a mountain or on the water thrilling.. weed.. well, it just doesn't get one to that ah-ha super natural high, does it?
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
