These Boomers got to go:camby: Raekwon N.J. cannabis lounge rejected after church’s objections

I managed a liquor store for way too many years and there’s constant fukkery in parking lots, especially if you in the city. These old nikkas on bullshyt

Stop comparing dispensaries to liquor stores. Night and day.

Edit. Ok I got it. My bad, you were correcting that comparison

You just misinterpreted his post. He was saying liquor stores were WORSE. I'm sure you know that.

Raekwon is a boomer

Rae is Gen X.

I honestly hate that they sell bud in stores now. They be selling that shyt to minors with damn near impunity. If u want ur kid to stay away from that shyt it's basically impossible now.

Toronto is years ahead of Jersey on legalization.

New Jersey is just Newark?

Raekwon is a boomer

He was born in 1970. Gen X.​

If the people don’t want something where they live and worship, you’ve gotta respect it..Thoug

I hate that we get on this Black man shyt as though Raekwon is Magic fukking Johnson or something trying to create economic opportunities for Newark Blacks..If you from where I’m from you know damn well them hood dispensaries and juice bars is where nikkas get shot into t shirts and necklaces..The brother can find a more welcoming location or fukk them on the appeal.

This was the first thing I thought of when reading that article. Some older folks are still wedded to the fear mongering of weed set in place from back in the day(which was propaganda purposely put in place to stigmatize PoC specifically).

That said it's their community so they have a right to their opinion

 

[audemarzz]

i support legalization, obviously, but im not gonna act like i dont know why people dont want this shyt away from them

you cant smell a liquor store

Tell me you haven't lived near a grimy liquor store with fiends sleeping outside. Oh you can smell them.

How do boomers factor into this?

Has anyone ever seen an actual smiley in a title?

 

[audemarzz]

You’re comparing the last 30 minutes of a liquor store being open to almost constant long lines. I also noticed you didn’t answer the more important question. Do you think those same people would vote to have a liquor store near them?

There would be no vote, the liquor store would simply open and they'd have to accept it.

 

[feelosofer]

But they’re putting dispensaries in Hoboken, which is way more affluent.

Not like the dealers gonna go away either, if people wanna smoke they’re gonna do it

I don't disagree but having worked for the city of Newark the boomers and older are the ones who go to the polls on a regular basis.

it's a literal statement. Legalization years.

Toronto 2017
Jersey 2022

it takes a bit of time for shyt to settle is all it meant. we had similar initial hesitations from people... stop being sensitive

our Province allowed cities to rule if they wanted to allow sale of Cannabis. Virtually all did except Richmond Hill (old cac money) and Markham (old and new Asian money) quite frankly they did to control population more than anything is my guess. Canadians of all walks of like smoke including those that live in those cities, they just buy online or from dispensaries on their outskirts. Our countries Leader has admitted to smoking himself.

iight bet, you’re not going to answer the question directly. They’d vote no to opening a liquor store near them. Just because they can’t control one thing they view as negative doesn’t mean they should allow another thing they view negative to happen if they have a choice on it.
