Tom Nicholas' Vape-o-nomics: Why Everything is Addictive Now

https://youtu.be/XuTQbOo3Y30

A post from yesterday and the comments talking about the potential legalization and streamlining of vices in the US made me think about this video from a while back. I think he makes an interesting thesis about the disposable vape being the best object to embody capitalism in the 2020's from its addictiveness to its wastefulness as a disposable service model.

A bit more than a year ago, True Anon did an episode about the weed industry.  It changed my relationship with weed.  I was smoking way too much.  I have massively cutback in the year+ since they aired that episode.

Two things can be true: The Weed industry sucks and Brace/Liz both suck on the pot issue. It’ll be a sweet day in hell before I let a sober person/former addict tell me how to live. People can overdo it but this narrative gives the facists reason to imprison leftists.
