Before you tell me to touch grass, grass is kinda illegal here in the US (if you know what I mean by “grass” 😉).

    I’ll get to touch that sticky, sticky grass soon, my state legalized this year. Minnesota 23 in '23!

    Grass may be illegal, but that doesn’t stop me from taking massive rips before commenting

      I have been living in the Pacific Northwest bubble for long enough that I forgot weed isn’t legal in a lot of places in the US. Literally raised an eyebrow while reading the subtext before remembering

      Remember kids: it’s completely acceptable to replace one addiction with another.

      Maybe you’ll find a new hobby.

    Different drug, same addiction haha

    Though for what it’s worth, I do find it easier to pull myself off of Kbin than I did Reddit

      I like that kbin and Lemmy aren’t going to have an entire team of people doing continuous A/B testing to find what drives the most engagement.

      Much less chance of this ending up as a dopamine slot machine.

    I spend less time on Lemmy than I did on Reddit. I think I just found other things to do.

    Not to speak for everyone, but those of us in parts of the country where grass is not illegal really appreciate that grass is not illegal. If we can’t have meaningful change in other areas, at least we can soften the blow.

    Thankfully Lemmy isn’t really good, and has rather limited amount of functionalities and content comparing to Reddit so I’d say I’m good and not addicted anymore 😉

    the memes on Lemmy are so good that I feel like I haven’t seen good relevant simple memes in like a decade.

    Recreational is completely legal in NJ. To the point where employers cannot make a decision to hire or fire based on your cannabis use unless they can provide hard evidence that you were using on the job.
    You just can’t cross state lines with any amount.

      Still federally illegal. I wouldn’t try it as long as it’s still on the books. A change in administration could easily direct federal agents to enforce the controlled substances act

        Lol? If you’re in NJ, and you want to smoke weed, Johnny Law in the DEA isn’t going to kick down your door and stop you.
        The cops here can smoke weed. There are literally no arrests for recreational amounts now.
