All of them are terrible - except the one YOU like.

    Wendy's was a close #2 but for burgers alone, I gotta give it to Five Guys.

    Everything at Wendy's other than burgers is better than Five Guys

    So that is why you can't get good Native American burgers outside of areas with Native Americans.

    I was not ready for the complexity of the pot game in legalized states

    I'm at the same "One weed, please" phase of potsmanship I was in during college

    The dispensaries are nice! Usually a punky cutie pie will guide you through the process

    And then you pay for your drugs! You pay taxes on them! It's great!

    So, I really hate being Sold To. Buying a car is awful, and anything similar where a person is trying to spin or otherwise manipulate a business transaction puts me in full-on 'this is an adversarial interaction and I'm not here to make friends' mode

    For some reason, encountering that at a dispensary (the place in Boulder trying to upsell some not-great Fruity Pebbles) triggered me in a way that dealing with honest-to-goodness drug dealers does not.

    Like, this is supposed to be a respectable retail transaction! You have the labeled jars and the counter and everything, now don't show me that middle-tier garbo and tell me it's top-shelf!

    I mean the illegal dealer just presents the illusion of choice (probably just got a huge block of weed in the mail and they divide them up into little bags of "different" weed)

    I mean often they're getting it from people smuggling it out of legal states or Canada or California, so depending on who you get, you might actually be getting choices from an illegal dealer. It's not all mexican ditch weed.

    Nobody is smuggling weed into the US any more, and in fact they're starting to find American high-grade headed south for consumption by affluent Mexican customers.

    The last time I bought weed from A Guy, he had 3 different batches and the Leafly pages for each strain up for my perusal. He offered one of those illuminated desk magnifying glasses and I was able to try before buying, all while sitting in a recliner and listening to curated jazz.

    It's about the experience as much as anything else.

    saw someone at open mic night do a bit about weed shops recreating the classic weed buying experience the same way today you have like an old timey speak easy

    Frankly I think it could be a sound business model.

    Specifically style the place like a dealers apartment.

    Hang out, shoot the shit, walk away with some green.

    It would basically have to be an appointment based situation, but you could manufacture a pretty honest reproduction of long standing practices.

    He put Burger King down with Jack in the box for some reason. Like two different places. But the Whopper >>> Big Mac/other McDs stuff.

    I'll put in a good word for the local Carl's Jr. They put in the perfect ratio of lettuce:burg for a lettuce wrap. I don't know how they do it, and otherwise it's just overpriced Wendy's. But man, my local Carl's Jr knows how to make a low-carb diet sing.

    This is definitely a local thing, as I've had terrible lettuce wraps from other Carl's Jr.
