The number of Americans who use marijuana just about every day has
00:06
surpassed the number of Americans who drink daily in 2022 an estimated
00:12
17.7 million people reported that they use.
00:15
I want a daily compared to 14.7 million people who drink daily
00:19
I mean, all in moderation deve in,
00:22
you know, not every day.
00:24
I don't know how people do it.
00:25
I can't function when you smoke.
00:27
I get weird. Well,
00:28
no, look, look,
00:29
when I was, I'd have to make sure that I was
00:33
I didn't have any plans but I,
00:35
like, once I was fried,
00:36
I'm fried. You know,
00:37
like I'm out. No brother.
00:39
There was one time where I had my hands here and they
00:42
were, I had my hands here,
00:44
but it felt like I had my hands here,
00:45
but it still felt like I had my hands here.
00:47
It was weird. I was like,
00:48
just what the I kept punching,
00:52
how do people do it every day?
00:53
Like I don't understand.
00:55
It was so weird,
00:57
like smoke and they come back and do whatever.
00:59
I'm like, you do,
01:01
you bro, because I can't,
01:02
they're probably used to it,
01:03
but just keep in mind that although these numbers are crazy,
01:06
like, you know,
01:07
in terms of like the smoking to non,
01:08
to drinking that marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.
01:13
So, I mean,
01:14
there's still like that stigma of people,
01:16
you know, hitting the pin or smoking the devil's lettuce.
01:20
So, I don't know,
01:20
it's just interesting because again,
01:22
it's like, which one's worse than the other.
01:24
I feel like that's what it is.
01:25
I mean, I prefer drinking,
01:27
brother. I feel like I'm in my all senses when I
01:30
drink mostly in moderation,
01:31
of course. But I,
01:33
I, one time I ripped the $20 bill and threw it
01:35
away because I thought it was a receipt when I was,
01:39
I was so hot.
01:41
I did that. I not,
01:42
I'm not, I'm not gonna donate smoking,
01:45
but I just can't function.
01:48
I don't know how people do it.
01:50
It's not that I'm a crazy smoker or anything.
01:53
I used to smoke.
01:54
Whatever the point is that it's like drinking,
01:57
you get that tolerance,
01:58
you know, what is it?
02:00
You're lightweight and so,
02:02
you know, your level,
02:03
you're like, ok,
02:04
cool two hits and I'm good.
02:05
I'm cruising and you're not supposed to hold it in.
02:07
Supposedly. No, we're getting,
02:10
I don't know, it's bringing the Edwin Spark again.
02:13
We gotta get in Edwin Sparks again.
02:15
Yeah. But any who?
02:18
That's crazy.
