They make M&Ms intentionally not-satisfying so that you eat more.  So doing the
same with weed makes sense.

A tolerance thing.

One year in college, my grandpa got really sick.  Not "you need to go to the
hospital" sick, just a really bad flu.  He had been a long time smoker but
while he had the flu he couldn't smoke.  When he recovered, he found that he
couldn't start smoking again.  It just bothered him too much.

Ha!  In Michigan?!  Because of our Tyrant and her criminal gang running things
many people don't have the money.

Semi-joking aside, when there are big party weekends, I **do** see fewer people
buying beer, etc. at the store.


... I tried to drown my sorrows, but they can swim.
