There’s still something about smoking pot that feels skeevy. When we have parties we do discretely drink THC drinks when the kids are around (they’re all teenagers now) without any fuss. But even there it’s not really open like the booze is. I’ll tell the kids I’m going to the liquor store to grab some beer. I don’t tell them if I’m grabbing some gummies.
I don’t know why we still have a double-standard. Probably generational.

Definitely generational. All my young coworkers wouldn’t think anything of it and skeevy stoners aren’t even a thing for them. It’s so normalized.
But I also agree with sainters. Smoking joints is kind of trashy. Vapes, edibles, drinks etc is the way to go. Then again I’m also kind of old.
