I think a lot about how white people have completely gentrified marijuana while a ton of people of color are still in prison serving out nonviolent weed offenses in prisons across the country.

"Try our artisanal strain with hints of orange and roses." FFFFFS. ​ IT'S WEED, YOU'RE NOT A SOMMELIER.

@Rusty Artisanal strains sound like the same kind of silly nonsense that flavoured teas are. "Try our 'Malibu' green tea blend with coconut flakes, saffron and pineapple." I just want to enjoy a nice cup of tea without anything masking it!
I may never have tried weed but I am a snob about tea ​

@odo I wish I had access to tea snobbery, maybe I'd find more tea I like ​

@Rusty I have a sphere of influence when it comes to tea and I make sure to exert it. I brew tea multiple times a day at work and I've already found a coworker who was interested so I regularly invite her for little 10-15 minute tea breaks ​

@Rusty And, to be fair, you don't even need to flavour your tea to be a sommelier. Try our finest 2020 vintage sheng pu'er, made from the finest mao cha from the province of Yunnan!

@odo idk why but that reminds me of when England spent tons of money and multiple decades to spy on the Chinese just to discover the secret to making black tea was just fermenting green tea ​

@Rusty Oxidising, ackchually. Fermented tea would be pu'er, not black tea
