I was just casually talking with my mostly white, white collar coworkers about drug legalization. I made an offhand joke about how nearly all my old school friends dealt drugs, mostly just weed, at one point or another to make ends meet.
Shocked silence. Mumbles. That weird pursed lip thing that white, white collar types do.
Luv 2 not be able to make friends at work because of a fundamental disconnect between our formative experiences. Luv 2 probably have just hurt organizing efforts because I spooked the people I’m trying to organize :deeper-sadness:
99% chance that every single person there smokes regularly
Coffee, beer, like it’s so easy to point out how dumb and arbitrary drug laws are.
Maybe, but they’re the demand side of the equation. They don’t like to associate with the supply side.
That’s an incisive way of framing the sickness inherent in capitalism.
Unlikely. I’ve worked in places like OP is describing. I was in one when my state happened to legalize weed, and all of the Boomers were appalled, including the ones who was notorious for being a huge drunk boater party guys. Weed is still kinda taboo for people over 45 or so. My parents smoked when they were younger and are still not fans.
