The hosts discuss the chaotic return to normalcy post-lockdown, highlighting public recklessness and the resulting second wave of COVID-19. They explore the economic impact of the pandemic on cannabis pricing, noting a significant surge in costs for top-shelf and exotic strains due to drought and supply chain issues. Additionally, they analyze the dangers of public fame, the complexities of open relationships in the spotlight, and the addictive, gambling-like nature of modern stock trading apps.
Key takeaways 6
Public Recklessness: People returned to social activities (beaches, clubs) immediately in July despite rising case numbers, leading to a second wave; the hosts note that many underestimate the virus's severity compared to other diseases.
Cannabis Price Inflation: Weed prices have skyrocketed due to a combination of quarantine demand, drought, and inflation. Top-shelf/exotic strains now cost $60-$70 per eighth in dispensaries, up from $40-$50 previously.
Illicit Market Shift: The illicit market price for indoor packs has risen from ~$22 to $40+, making branded dispensary products relatively more competitive despite higher sticker prices.
Stock Trading as Gambling: Apps like Robin Hood and Cash App have gamified investing, leading to addiction among college students. The hosts compare day trading to gambling at a casino, citing a tragic suicide linked to a Robin Hood technical error.
Privacy in Fame: The hosts argue that maintaining privacy is crucial for longevity in the public eye, citing the Will Smith/Jada Pinkett Smith open relationship controversy and the permanent digital footprint of tabloid scandals.
Jail Economy: Cannabis prices in jail are estimated to be over $1,000 for an eighth of exotic weed, highlighting the extreme scarcity and value of drugs in correctional facilities.
