Pot, liquor stores, and vape shops were all deemed essential businesses in Washington State.
Turns out the true opiate of the people are... well, opiates and other drugs.
- Analemma_ 7y agoThis is an ignorant comment; there are entirely legitimate reasons why those stores are still open. Alcohol withdrawal can actually kill you, or at least put you in the hospital, and having to hospitalize a bunch of alcoholics is the last thing the system needs right now. People also use cannabis as a safer alternative to pain relief than actual opiates.
- reaperducer 7y agoYou missed one. What is the entirely legitimate reason why vape stores should be open?
- p1necone 7y agoNicotine withdrawal won't kill you like alcohol can, but it sure fucking sucks. Taking away every source of joy from the populace during this could cause more harm than good. Also if you could buy cigarettes, but not vape supplies then a bunch of people would hop back on those.
- smabie 7y agoFor the same reason that Chik-Fil-a is open: because people like it.
