Weed is expensive. But not terribly addictive. Another words, a luxury product, but people will not usually forego necessities to get it like more addictive drugs.
I don't think there is any controversy there is at least a weak link between intelligence and access to luxury goods.
In other news, occasional cigar smokers have slightly lower cancer rates. It aint the cigars...

Edit: those talking about price being cheap in US: the data is from UK biobank. Unclear to me if that's actually UK citizens, but prices in UK are significantly higher than those quoting legal weed state prices. It appears those downvoting / rebutting are attempting to strong-arm a US centric view into foreign sourced data.
Using data from the UK Biobank, which includes health information from over 500,000 adults, associations between cannabis use, regional brain volume, and cognition in participants aged 40–70 years (mean age = 54.5) were evaluated.

- cromka 9mo agoWeed is expensive? Compared to alcohol, it's cheaper, considering how little of it you need to maintain the intoxication. Weed was never a luxury substance. Cocaine and others are.
- Der_Einzige 9mo agoYeah lmao, prices fell to the floor, especially on the US west coast.
- tartoran 9mo agoIt’s cheap for ocassional use, yes. However, heavy users spend quite a bit for their habit since their tolerance level is shut. Also I never found it to be addictive but that’s my own bias, there are a lot of users who can’t go to sleep without it, not to mention daily and frequent use.
- PaulHoule 9mo agoIn NY an individual can grow up to 5 plants legally a year and that's really a lot. Because the hemp laws were poorly written, this product was legal in all 50 states https://cyclingfrog.com/ https://cyclingfrog.com/ The 10mg THC drinks give a whiff of cannabis when you open one and produce an intoxication similar to smoking with an experience similar to drinking an alcoholic drink. It's more expensive than the cheapest beer, but similar to a reasonably priced wine or drink in a bar. Unfortunately these will be gone in most places by the end of 2026.
- neom 9mo agoTHC does not evaporate into the air in appreciable quantities. What you smell is terpenes, flavor compounds, or carbonation carrying aroma, not psychoactive THC...
- PaulHoule 9mo agoAgreed. I will say that the 5 mg THC/10 mg CBD drinks don't have the same smell and I don't know if that is just the terpenes that ride along naturally or if they add flavoring to make the stronger drink stronger smelling. I'd say the 5/10 drink is really not worth the bother.
- neom 9mo agoIf you smoke weed regularly I'm not sure any of the 5/10mg edibles are particularly useful outside of diabetes. Health Canada puts a 10mg limit on THC extract for edible ingestion and personally I find it weird, people are consuming insane amounts of sugar eating gummies to get stoned due to tolerances. If you happened to be in Canada, there are a few companies that have snuck fully decarboxylated thc into the resin syringes you can get as "resin for smoking", BOXHOT Disty Dabber and Ellevia RSO can both be consumed edible out of the box and are considerably better than any other edible on the market, careful tho, a little goes a long way.

- mothballed 9mo agoI would expect the intelligence of sub-clinically addicted or non-addicted alcohol and cocaine users to also be above average.
- Forgeties79 9mo agoDecent bud is cheaper than ever in most US states at least
- ProfessorZoom 9mo agosomeone might be scamming you on weed prices man
