Cocaine Paraphernalia Ads in the 70s

I wonder if the economics will align to make this attractive to bar owners. When I go to the bar I will usually spend around $50-100 on drinks depending if I am drinking cocktails or wine.

Given that THC seems to be hard to precisely dose, I am not sure that a bar could figure out how to make cocktails or edibles that give a sufficiently small amount to encourage patrons to buy multiple items.

Also, alcohol works in a few minutes, but THC takes a lot longer. I wonder if we would see an increase of over consumption because people are impatient to get their buzz.

Fwiw, I like THC is small quantities from time to time, but I consume at home and watch a movie. Being in a loud public space which high seems like a nightmare to me.

Either way, it will be interesting to see what the future holds.

Some of the newer THC drinks take effect pretty quickly in my experience - maybe as fast as drinking alcohol.

It's certainly more processed than homemade weed brownies, but much more reliable and much quicker (minutes for effect vs hours).

Interesting, I was not aware of that. I have noticed that drinking mushroom tea as opposed to eating dried mushrooms does have a quicker onset, so that makes sense to me. (Sadly, it is also consistent in making me vomit.)
