US residents are spending more money to purchase legal cannabis than they are on chocolate, craft beer and topical pain relief.

A report from MJBizDaily showed Americans spent roughly $30 billion on legal marijuana in 2022 while only spending around $20 billion on chocolate.

The cannabis purchases eclipsed sales of “feel-good” products, including beer, opioid medications and topical pain relief, the report stated. Though the legal purchase of marijuana is becoming increasingly popular, sales still fell behind the tobacco industry, which made around $53 billion last year despite a steady decline.

This is what the government wants. Creating more voters who do what they say.

Chocolate is the way to go.

Great…think of all the tax dollars. In the meantime, I wonder how many new schizophrenics there are?

The only time I toked was through secondhand smoke when I was riding in a van that had a bunch of pot heads. Otherwise, I have never toked.

Did you become compliant and vote for Jimmy Carter against your wishes?

Potheads are notoriously liberal, and liberals are democraps.

How unfamiliar with it are you? Are you going to report me to Merrick Garland?

Yep.

I think Fuzz is still under the fuzzy influence.

Personally, I think if it’s legal the government couldn’t get a cent in taxes.

Maybe because the attitudes displayed on threads like this?

Definitely. And the correspondingly massive increase in street bums and human garbage living in tents throughout liberal cities in America shows how successful libertarian trash have been in pushing their agenda. Loathsome wretches, every one.

Since legal weed is much more expensive than illegal weed, I am surprised it’s that low. Just think about your government being more greedy than your pot dealer. Think about that and decide who to buy weed from, if you’re into that.

Me, I love me some chocolate.

No, they aren't liberal. They will vote for leftists and authoritarians. They want the government to take care of everything. At least 90% or more.
