Gas stations already sell tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco kills more people every year than all other drugs combined and alcohol is destructive to more parts of the body than any other drugs. So cannabis would be the least dangerous drug they sell

Now you can buy your weed and snacks before you get the munchies. It's a beautiful thing, the circle of life. You'll be cutting down on carbon emissions by reducing trips to 7 11 making the climate changers happy.

Many years ago on my first road trip down to FL, I stopped at a gas station late night and between the pumps they had an attendant in a shack selling smokes and a big tub of beer singles on ice. I just knew this was the place for me.

How do you think people go to the existing pot stores?

If pulled over and you are high on marijuana via blood test you will receive a dui . Costly .but profitable to the town prosecuting the offender.

Lets talk reality, convenience stores have sold both nicotine and alcohol for years. Nicotine kills more people every year than every other drug combined and alcohol has adverse effects on more parts of the body than any other drug, therefore, cannabis would be the least harmful drug they sell. Then there is sugar, which they sell tons of, another super damaging substance.

Makes almost as much sense as selling liquor, wine, and beer at gas stations.

I smoke weed 2 or 3 times a week in my own home listening to some jazz with a little wine , I’m 83 and been doing it since I was about 14 , I couldn’t be more healthy ,I bike, run, walk and lift weights and I’m 135 lbs with no meds and I never smoked cigarettes.. I have been getting it here from the same guy for years , while in Boston in summer I’ve tried the legal weed but they still have to do a better job of growing it , the weed must be grown in state so some is good ,some not ,and the cost has to come down. I’ve had the same guy up there for maybe 20 years , he’s a union iron worker with kids in college and couldn’t be more of a normal guy. Since Massachusetts got smart and made it legal ,the sky hasn’t fallen and the roads have not turned into a stoners nightmare I see more danger here in the villages with the carts crossing a little over the line after having a few at all the villages happy hours

Sad thing is, if this is true, I’ll betcha there’s nothing we can do about it. The Rep. will just talk about it.

Will they have a speed pass like they do for gas? If so, sigh me up.
