I’m not

What parts would you say?

could it be that it’s more affordable than most cities to live alone? I considered getting roommates living here, but at $675 for a 1br I can afford to not have to deal with someone else’s mess.

you sound fun at parties

>Nice! Thank you!!!!

You're welcome!

Nice! Thank you!!!!

Likely a mix. Medical dispensaries are able to apply for rec licenses if they want to. So I'm sure we'll see some medical only dispensaries, some recreational facilities, and some facilities that cater to both. I have heard in some places that went recreational before us that some dispensaries had separate lines for recreational and medical so patients wouldn't be burdened by recreational customers increasing wait time.

Likely none of the kratom/CBD/vape/D8 shops will sell non-hemp D9 products. You'll have to go to a dispensary for that.

I don’t think you can judge loneliness by people living alone, or doesn’t necessarily mean those people are lonely. That’s a dull definition.

That being said, I do think SWMO is pretty lonely if you aren’t churchgoing or into hunting/fishing… especially the churchgoing part, though.

Literally thca flower is the same. It is regular weed harvested and tested at specific times to skirt the law and slip through a loophole. Not all thca flower is high grade, top shelf product, and there is a lot of type 2 flower in thca (cannabis with roughly balanced amounts of thca and cbd/ga) that won't get you very high (many people prefer this more low key high with generally greater anxiolytic effect) and that may be what you have experienced if you have had thca flower that seemed underwhelming. Other cannabinoids, no, aren't the same, but many of them (and afaik everything Swin sells) are found in varying amounts in live flower. Minor cannabinoids are a major, perhaps even the main, driver of strain profile. The different effects of different live flowers (tbh strain names and indica/sativa labels are a mess right now >_> there just isn't a good standard) are caused by the differing amounts of minor cannabinoids. So each individual cannabinoid is an aspect of the full spectrum flower experience, and well made blends can replicate flower experiences without the predictability issues of working with live plants. I promise my cart blends wouldn't feel disappointingly flat and one note. My friends have started breaking relationships with their plugs in favor of my legal alt blends.

I’m not sure I buy the claim that it is “much higher” than other places. Not all that far from us, Columbia and Lawrence both have larger schools and smaller city populations, so by definition, there would be an even higher proportion of college students there.

We would also need to check if the statistics a) count college students at all (since they are not typically permanent residents of the cities where they attend college) and b) count college students as living alone (since they often live in shared dorms or shared apartments).

Weird study. I can’t speak to the whole city, but can speak for myself. And, yes.

I'm not following how travel time in a car by yourself is lonelier than traveling on a bike by yourself, or walking by yourself. Are you stopping to talk to someone every few hundred feet when you're riding/walking? If you have ever been to a city you know that even in walkable areas, people aren't stopping to chat.

Triple 8’s has my favorite.

I haven’t had it in years but Triple 8’s beef lo mein used to be 🔥🔥🔥

50% read it that way, the other 50% saw a sarcastic dig at me, so I thought I’d ask lol.

Reads like a joke at his own expense

My loneliness quotient (LQ) is top 99 percent. I’m so fucking lonely I probably single-handedly weighted this study

Brandon hates being called a dispensary. lol

Is this meant to be a veiled insult directed at me?

Anyone know if medical dispensaries are going to be selling recreationally as well, or will there be dedicated, rec-only dispensaries?

Yah fr just go get delta 8 if you can’t wait. Just go to swin and bring cash

I blame cars for my lack of friends. Certainly isn’t my flakey nature, propensity for conflict, and impossibly high standards.

When nearly everything is strictly accessible by car due to lack of public transit, patchy bike infrastructure, auto-centric land development patterns, etc. it tends to make your existence pretty lonely. You spend your travel time alone, surrounded by other people who are also alone in their own cars, and only have to interact with people once you've arrived where you are going. Repeat on the return trip. Multiply by everybody forced into our auto-centric city, and you've got a populace that spends more time in personal vehicles than actually out in the city, forming its urban fabric.

Obviously there are a lot of factors that would go into making a place feel lonely, but car dependency is a huge factor, in my opinion.
