  Speaker 3: Never purposely go puffing in the streets.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You have dispensation, Thank you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that something the Catholic Church won't even give me. Okay,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: And I know because I'm planning a wedding, which may
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: mean Natalie, that I may need an edible or something
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: because I just worry all the time. We were just
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: talking about this, worrying all the time, and maybe that's
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: why the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: more Americans are now turning to marijuana than alcohol. The
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: data shows more than twenty one million Americans over the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: age of twelve, so a little young smoked more Mary
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Jane at least once a day in twenty twenty five
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: than they did drink alcohol. Now, only about seventeen million
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Americans drink alcohol every day or most days, so not
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: necessarily every day, just regularly.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So what do people think about the stats?
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I don't smoke weed or drink, so okay, I'll go WOA.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: So I mean I smoke more than on drink, So
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I guess it's true.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of torn.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I feel like our forefathers did quite a lot on alcohol,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: not weed, so I take that into consideration. I really
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: couldn't say anything on that head because I don't smoke.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I don't and I don't drink. So I grew up
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: around it. I tried it, but it never had no
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: effect on me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: To each his own, I guess I think it's better
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: to smoke weed than to drink you know, at least
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: when you smoke a weed, you know what's going on.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: You drink alcohol, you like like an idiot.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And as he was saying like an idiot, he was
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: purposely showing me that people stumble around like he was
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: moving around like.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: He was drunk.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like the visual was just funny about it,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and I was following it, chasing him with my microphone
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: so that he.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't go too far.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: The number shows adults over the age of twenty six
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: smoking marijuana on the rag has rapidly grown, but the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: age group I know, you guys did the study the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: earlier this week. The age group were the most people
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: are smoking Millennials and baby boomers, people in their thirties,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: their forties, their fifties, their sixties. Now, when I asked
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a gen zer about their smoking habits, they seemed a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: little bit embarrassed about it until hearing the ages.
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: Oh wow, see I didn't know that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I didn't you know that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: So it's the older generation.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, I will say, Maybe they're just
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: coming clean.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Maybe they're not the biggest group, but they're just being
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: more transparent about it. Maybe allow that people who are
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: my age fifty plus.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: They smoke every now and then. They smoke periodically. My circle.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: I don't see it outside of my circle. I see
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: it all ages.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: You go to the dispensary and you see like people
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: like seventy years old going in there, maybe even older
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: than that too. They use it for pain. It helps
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: out with pain and stuff. I said that forty years ago.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that guy telling me though he doesn't smoke as
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: much as he used to, so it's not in his
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: daily routine. A lot of people telling me, even though
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: people are social drinkers, they're also social smokers in a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: sense of this and this way, it's become less stigmatized.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I think there was more of a stigma before it was.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Legalized in New York, and so now since New York
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: has legalized weed a few years ago, several people say
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: it feels like everyone is smoking everywhere all the.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: Time, every day, every day, especially down here overnight lot overnight.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's for sure. I mean I've been smoking
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: for twenty years. I've been smoking before it was legal
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: in these same streets as legal, everybody's smoking.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Any astra Okay, my neighbors, it's like a chimney.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: They come outside first thing in the morning, smoking weed,
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: before they go in the afternoon, smoking weed, before they
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: go to bed, smoking weed. So we have to keep
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: air freshener an exhaust fan in the house to keep
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: the smell away.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Called the landlord problem.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: The landlord might be high dry, I don't know, take
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: his pick, but overall, it seems that smoking weed.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: The funny thing is a lot of people.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Now you kind of have to clarify, are you talking
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: about smoking weed smoking cigarettes? But that has overtaken smoking cigarettes,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Sure it has. So it's an interesting.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: It is interesting, But I'm shocked that people are surprised
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: that older people are smoking pot. That's the woodstock generation.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: Are you kidding me? They've been smoking it for a
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: long time before it was legal.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, people would have assumed if they weren't able to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: smell it first and then see it, you smell it
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: before you see it, that it would be all these
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: new gen zers.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: But you see they're going up where it's legal. You're
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: no longer.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Crossing that maginal line.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Right, And that's a lot of what we were talking
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: about today.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Two on the street.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: One of the gen z or who I was talking about,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: said they thought it was this edge thing at first,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and then you really look into it, you legalize it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You don't feel like you're doing something oh so crazy anymore,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: especially after learning the history of weed and how long
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: it's been around.
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: I hear people on the radio talking about taking gummies.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: Gummies are big, They're bigger I think at this point
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: than smoking pot.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Well, we should all take gummies and then test it out.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: What a funny experiment. Tom sign off on that I've
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: never done it. I've never done it, so this would
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: be interesting. I know right now.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Would you take it close to the dry cleaners because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we can smell on you, Not that you were smoking
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: pup pup pass, but everybody you were talking who was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You'll be back
