I'm a Little Shocked

I went to the gas station this morning. While I was waiting for the lady behind the counter to finishing slicing some ham for our bus driver, I saw these cute little pots on the counter, so called 'grinders', so I asked what are these are used to grind she said pot. Well the bus driver and I were very shocked .... so its ok to sell pot grinders at gas stations now ... what next!

They sell rolling papers in alot of stores and people usually don't use them for making their own cigarettes.

Nothing surprises me about what can be found at gas/convenience stores. I worked at one for a few years. The night guy was selling pot. He got caught in the stations restroom engaged in a sex act with two of his female "customers".

I've seen similar devices that are used for garlic cloves. I suspect that's what these are, and somebody has had the idea to market them for a different purpose.

As qsducks noted, all these stores sell rolling papers, so why not? The store down the street from me sells all kinds of crazy looking bongs.

I think the bigger issue is the retailing of a legal carcinogen called "tobacco".

Why would tobacco be a bigger issue than alcohol?

See, that I don't find as so strange because in the UK a fair amount of people do roll their own 'real' cigarettes ... but come to think of if it, you are right, over here I never see anyone rolling their own

The roses are for 'nuttin, it is the glass tube that is used......for crack. I thought-a cheap little rose, why doesn't a guy get her a real one? I never thought of something else, since I never saw something else......

Pheasy, I roll my own !! It costs me half the price of 'tailor-mades', and they don't contain nearly as many chemicals. Now if I smoke ready made cigarettes, they just don't have any taste, they last half the time of a roll-up so I would have to buy twice as many cigarettes, to get the same 'value'. But no I just don't like the tailor-made ones. I have been rolling my own for the last 5 or 6 years.

More and more people are in fact rolling their own, for the reasons I have already given.

Why on earth would anyone pay to get a grinder for their pot?

When it's dried the leaves crumble up into nothing really fast

just using your hands...

Better to put it in a bag and crumble it. Haven't done that in years though:wah:
