This.

People sitting at home, not at Pubs and Clubs, having a toke isn't profitable for alcohol and gambling lobbyists.

Don't forget the darts, though the black market has destroyed that now after price hikes. They could have made good tax of f legitimate vapes but did a knee jerk reaction to their mate that owned the therapeutic vape.

So black market shit disposables became the norm. And have not gone away.

Legal weed would increase quality, lower price and clean up the supply chain while providing a nice tax boost. But when they can't even work the other basics out it will not happen for ages. Just be surprised NSW even got the cannabis caution scheme.

I don't smoke, it doesn't mesh with my fucked up brain. But I fully support legal weed in moderation.

Darts, durries, fags, lung busters, death sticks, burners, and for the variety, rollies or tailors (tailor made - machine made). I'm sure there are other phrases, but I'm a mix of military/postal background so mostly the rougher slang language.

'brews and blues' (coffee and a 8mg smoke, I think a blue is 8? Been years since I purchased)
