Headphones, nicotine, weed, circa 2025. Did anyone imagine this?

Do none of these except the ear buds. The rest are for losers! Cough cough.

I bought a pack of pre-rolls just to appease the teenage me. Smoking and thinking of " the day when we can buy a pack of joints like it was a pack of cigarettes "

Me, the day at the Dispensary..."I'll take a pack of joints "

Clerk replies, "We call them pre-rolls only here..."

Teenage me : "Schweet!, I'll have a pack."

And it was sweet.

Vapes are so fucking bad for you. Quit the nic and smoke/eat weed like the rest of us.

I am 55 too but still smoke real cigarettes. Gave up weed 25 years ago (I started smoking pot when I was 11 lolol)

I really didn't think my middle age was going to be like this 🤧 Remember as kids in the 70s they told us we would be flying around with jet-packs 🤣🤣🤣 We have weird ass self driving cars with idiots sleeping in the driver's seat.

On second thought I should start taking drugs again 😵‍💫😂😂😂🤟👍

Nope I did not predict all three of my addictions could come in wireless or rechargeable varieties.

Yeah, this. I'm still not used to earpods - they just feel loose and uncomfortable compared to earbuds. I was a Marlboro Lights guy for like 20 years between like 84 and the early 2000s, and the switch to vaping (while not as satisfying) has definitely improved my lung health. For the MJ, I still prefer a pipe - guess I'm just old school. ;)

I prefer a cigar myself… I also smoked Marlboro lights & camel lights for 20 years until I quit 15 years ago. Vaping never did it for me.

UpOrDownItsUpToYou@reddit

I quit cigs 8 years ago after years of stopping and starting... Eventually my self-loathing outpaced my addiction so I never vibed with nicotine replacement.

But being able to get stoned quickly without the odor? Cannabis vapes are so nice.

I prefer the gummies & tinctures myself….

UpOrDownItsUpToYou@reddit

I'm an equal opportunity pothead, but I sometimes prefer the quickness of an inhalant vs a digestant.

[-]

cCriticalMass76@reddit

I hear ya! I just spent enough years putting shit in my lungs that I try to keep them clean these days but I do love a joint from time to time…

If you would have told me that I'd be ordering weed legally and having it delivered to my mailbox by USPS I would have called you a filthy liar.

I just think about some of the sketchiest places you'd have to survive to get weed at. Basement apartments. Shacks in the woods. Public bathrooms. And dirty brick mexi-weed at that. I am surprised wew weren't was not murdered.

One time, this kid 20 years younger than me was selling EVERYTHING out of his apartment next to a college and followed zero street rules for self preservation. He ended up getting beaten, gagged, tied up and left in his shower and robbed of everything he sold. Acid, coke, pills. Now you can get delicious grape flavored THC gummies for cheap that could tranquilize a circus elephant at a swanky retail store where everyone is overly-friendly.

Psilocybin being basically legal is the one I never figured would happen. There's even a "Church" for it locally.

elspotto@reddit

Well, yes. But I have spent most of my 55 years reading science fiction. These three things are present throughout, but particularly prevalent in dystopian sci-fi like cyberpunk.

…Lobot on Cloud City had early AirPods with Siri. So even Star Wars was in on some of it.

I thought that by now we would just be plugging ourselves into the computer and vegetating, get everything we could want directly into our brains.

Dude just posted two digital drug delivery devices and one thing to transmit the computer directly to his ears. We’re close enough.

Yes, but I read a lot of science fiction. It truly feels like I’m living in the future, though I could do with a little less dystopia.

ComprehensiveSwim709@reddit

I never thought I'd actually see legalization in my lifetime but here we are and I'm so happy for it. I still feel like a kid in a candy store every time I go in. 🤣 I never smoked cigarettes and I'm really glad for that. Also I love my electric car. I never thought I'd see that either!

Canadian here who loves legally enjoying the multitude of ways I can get THC into my body. Oh Canada indeed!

Haunt_Fox@reddit

Legal weed that can be vaped, and hearing aids that double as earphones, for those "oh, no the Dingbat is at it again" moments. 👍😹 (I love my husband, but he talks a lot, and by this point, I have all the stories memorized and mentally catalogued.)

Is that a Pax vape?

fujiesque@reddit

I was just talking about this to family the other day. We used to have a place called "pot in the box" back in the day. A house in a sketchy neighborhood where you could drive up, throw some money in a window and someone would hand you weed. Now I place an order to my dispensary online. Drive to the store and use their walk up window to pick up my weed. What a time to be alive

i told everyone that would listen (most would scoff or laugh) back in the late 80's that weed would be legal by the time i was 50 😌🤩
