To put it another way, think of yourself as a serf. And the people at big alcohol are like lords. They want to sell some nasty low quality weak-ish THC drinks along side their beer, and collect all that money. You wont buy the THC drinks if you make your own bhang chai, and bhang thandai at home, smoke joints, pack a bowl, smoke hashish. There would be no demand on their nasty little thc drinks. You are the serfs after all, you shouldn't be keeping your money, treating yourself, and expanding your consciousness and connecting with mother nature. You should be getting poorer so they get even richer. You see, their greed has no end, and you are seen as someone to exploit. Your only value in being on this earth is to be used. That's how they see you. Not so much different than commercial cannabis seed suppliers treat you right? Providing mediocre, dead-end genetics they themselves say is unfit for further breeding. They aren't empowering you, they want open access to your bank account, to lock you into repeat purchases each grow. The programming and conditioning has worked so well, you praise the generic swag as great while willingly being dependent on them. Does this help?
