Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

      Move to Bay Area/LA/Vancouver and it's the exact same with joints except you have to offer to share instead of bumming off others

        Weed is like that anywhere it's legal. But stoned chats are far less grounded than cig buzzed chats. The unpleasant weed chats I've had are far more unpleasant than the worst cig chats I've had. Smoke cigs, you talk about family and what brings you to whatever area you're at. Maybe a few minor work stresses, but nothing crazy. Weed will make people too comfortable in a strangers company

          The main problem with weed chats is that you get stoned and start to worry about when it's okay to leave the conversation. With a cigarette, the conversation ends in five minutes or you light up another one. It's a nice little snack versus a Sunday dinner.

        Not quite what I meant. I dislike smoking because of the lung cancer, not because of the nicotine :(
