You mentioned Bacardi 151, which is where my head went. It sounds like the weed industry is like if the alcohol industry only made versions of 151, and then people are out here saying hey wish I could have a few light beers with my friends. Yeah you could alll just do a single shot and get the same amount of alcohol as a couple light beers but it’s not the same.

Right, you also don’t have to drink a full shot of 151, much like you don’t have to load a whole bowl. You do it because that was the traditional customs. Now you can indulge with just a hit or two. No need to sit and brood. If you really wanted to control it, you’d do it yourself. I think the industry is definitely to blame, but it’s pretty damn opaque what the serving size is based off a thc percentage. Maybe alcohol-style proofs could help, but the important thing is education without capital incentive.

Also I sip my shots while people drink a beer and it works out pretty well.
