I am (perhaps shamefully) delighted by this kind of booze writing:
> The finish is a delightful mix of Cinnamon Twizzlers, burnt marshmallows, Werther’s chewy caramels, and red hots in apple cider, leaving behind a warmth akin to spicy citrus cinnamon and comforting apple pie.

I feel like that was already a thing long before legalization, at least here in Canada. It's just become more publicly visible now.
@mnemonicoverload @pluralistic yeah, it's been an aspect of the west coast herb world for a long time, that's true. But it was a minor thing. Now it's been picked up as a marketing angle. Destigmatizing and segmenting the market are both actually good things, but in marketing terms targeted at the upper and striving classes it's just draped in pretension.
I respect those who "use cannabis as a medicine or mood stabilizer", but I still just smoke weed to get high, so the language feels goofy
