‘Starbucks on steroids’: can America’s new weed cafes make smoking social?Recreational marijuana is legal in Canada and parts of the US, but for the most part it’s not allowed in public spaces Absolutely! It's a gold mine. Celebrity endorsements. Corporate give away games. Movie, TV and social media product placements. Then, they'll find that it's really bad for you. Congress will ban advertisements. Over taxed to discourage use. Treatment centers popping up everywhere Little fact : when ppl smoke pot they only get 40-60% of the THC but when they eat it they get 89-94% of the THC! Amsterdam did it decades ago, weed bars will eventually put Starbucks out of business.
