Wonder how long it's going to be before this happens in Chicago, Pritzker is against it but not sure what he can really do to stop it. I've got several upcoming plans in the city so I guess it'll be interesting to see this shit first-hand.

Yeah so it seems, my brother was talking about going to a protest downtown on Tuesday, he lives down in the city. I'm going to Riot Fest down there in a couple weeks, a bit worried about my wife will get harassed since she has dark skin, this country is so fucked up right now.

I'm gonna guess they end up hanging out mostly around Michigan Ave./Grant Park, you know the really nice areas where nothing really happens.

I've only been to veralife out by Douglass Park but they all sell pretty much the same brands I think. Looks like there's a few near downtown I'd probably just go to the closest one, they all seem to have good reviews.

Seems Jeannine Alum Pirro cant' do her job. Alum is a food additive used in the old days. In 3 stooges shorts it made rich people pucker up so they could hardly talk making them look like idiots. If you watched her on Fox you may get it. Anyway...

Went to a dispensary called Spark’d just a few blocks from my hotel.

Picked up a couple of sativa pre-rolls and a 1g green crack cartridge. $78, which wasn't that bad compared to Cincinnati prices. Quality was excellent! 👍

Yep. The whole area was very laid-back, clean, and drama free. I scouted out our walking route to the stadium by myself early Monday morning.

Wife wanted to get some Chinese food so we walked around Chinatown for a couple hours. Again, no problems.

Very nice 👍, I've been quite happy with the quality of weed here, people complain about the price but that has come way down and the quality is way higher than old ditch weed we used to get.

Did you go to the show on Monday? I was there Sunday, was a great show though I was disappointed A7x didn't play more old songs (especially Bat Country). SOAD was awesome though, the circle pits down on the floor looked pretty crazy.

Yeah we went Monday night. At one point I counted six pits going all at once!! Shit was crazy with a capital K!

We were on the third level. When SOAD played “Bounce”my wife thought and said to me is this place going to come down…? The whole stadium was shaking so hard!

Probably not bad for a big city. It's ridiculously cheap out here in the PNW. I mean with a special, which they have all the time, $20 for 2 g of concentrate at 90%.
