A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing? (self.showerthoughts)

If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

Its hard to justify it for the same reasons we can't have Shisha bars and smoking lounges (at least where I live): 2nd hand smoke.

I can, as a non drinker, go to a bar and have myself a soda, and leave there as sober as when I walked in. If I do that in a room where everyone is smoking up, I will get high from the second hand smoke whether I want to for not.

I mean, why not just have a general social club with coffee/food, games, etc, and just step outside for a puff?

Cannabis can be edible and here in Milwaukee we're already seeing farm bill delta9 show up in bars and restaurants.

The smoke issue has been solved. I've been to cigar lounges that do not smell outside and barely smell inside, despite over a dozen people smoking sotgies in there. Massive HVAC systems and filters handle it all.

They also still allow smoking in casinos in Vegas because they don't want to lose those addicts as customers. The amazing HVAC systems in casinos was part of why they were able to open back up so fast.

You can have a smoking area, just like many restaurants used to. The non smoking area can still serve other THC infused products.
