On 136? No.

Ah! So it was located where Alfred’s is now. Thank you!! Yes, Jade Tree rings a bell now that you say it.

I have no idea. I never went there to eat.

Lol friend of mine. I have a thousand of these stickers that he gave to me. Basically he's just putting them everywhere cause he thinks it's funny. Sent them around the country to friends. Face is on "welcome to Arizona" signs and such. No reason for it other than probably having people question it as you are.

It's like raking leaves! The best part is when you get to jump into it afterwards!

Re-do the sign: "Bad Judgement"

Any place I can find camel spiders or some black widows? Some brown recluse? Also interested in a tons of really dangerous snakes.... WTF... Someone that was flying to Oklahoma got off in RI

I am also curious to learn more about actual effects

Edit: after sifting through the overwhelming majority of news stories about new bans being discussed/enacted, here's one with some follow-up: https://commonwealthmagazine.org/health/nip-ban-having-an-impact-in-chelsea/

> In the year since the city banned sale of the tiny 50-ml bottles of hard liquor, public drunkenness has diminished, alcohol-related ambulance responses are way down, and there has been a reduction in the number of people taken into protective custody for alcohol intoxication.

[...]

> the police department has taken only 86 individuals into protective custody for alcohol consumption so far this year, putting the city on track to record a notable decrease from the 222 for all of last year.

The article also notes liquor stores have started enforcing do-not-sell lists to problematic individuals, which the stores are claiming as the reason for the reduction and not the nip ban itself.

Sure, but also, drinking more while driving isn't a good thing.

Isn't the whole idea destroying the evidence? Take your shot, toss it, then you don't have any incriminating open containers in your car. Drinking a fifth, they either have to chug it and toss it, or be driving around with incriminating evidence.

Obviously, the right answer is "don't drink and drive", but I'm assuming that ship has kinda already sailed for many people.

Why do you want these? I am in Connecticut and these come in via the wood pile.

The state house, the gov is pale as a ghost

Just look around the ground next time you are walking by any road or highway. I don't see any nips on my rural street in S. County but as soon as I hit the end of the street and walk along the country road there I can find 3-4 nips before I make it 100 yds. It's shocking how prevalent it is and is by far the most visible litter on the side of the road down here at least. You could walk 2 city blocks in distance and probably pick up 50 or so of them easily. Even worse by stop signs etc.

That’s what I’m wondering from the MA experience, did this happen or did people just drink more?

Ha. I totally agree but I wasn’t the one who could choose this time

It's a good thing empty heads are decriminalized eh?

Bigger bottles would honestly be a better solution. Less of them thrown out and less to pick up. It's still not ideal but cleaning up 1 larger bottle is easier than 5-10 nips.

The Freetown state forest is claimed to be one of, if not the most haunted forests in America. Roughly 15 Minutes from the Lizzie Borden properties.

It’s more of a deposit thing

Typically government cure “add a tax to make money off the problem so we can line our pockets, but do nothing to actually fix the behavior”.

People who buy nips are still going to buy them and toss them on the ground, because nips are typically sold to homeless people or alcoholics. They don’t care about keeping anything clean and will continue to litter and buy them.

Did it help, or did people just buy bigger bottles and litter them?

Thursday at 3pm? Do you not have a job?

It’s house-made. They have their own recipe. But they do sell it bottled …it’s the best!

>MA is home to some defunct mental institutions

I grew up on the North Shore and "Danvers" (we all just called it that) was a Victorian-era state mental institution still being used into at least the 70s. As children just the word "Danvers" was enough to be deeply scary.

They finally shuttered it and while the asbestos removal was going on, they allowed an indy film crew in to shoot a low budget movie. Watching that was how I finally saw the inside.

Rooms in the basement for shock treatment and lobotomies and other unimaginable horrors

Yes it its. you are on the internet and Google is a thing

But to answer you even further, parts of MA has a 10¢ tax or an outright ban
