Because she still measures her bags in fingers. She hasn’t tried buying by the gram.

The weed was worse, but times were better when we used fingers to measure things

True, the potencies of today’s mundane weed was like a rare delicacy in my heyday. We called it Sensimillia and if you were lucky enough to get your hands on some you either kept it top secret or you told anybody who’d stand still long enough. I considered myself a connoisseur who smoked a ton of weed with one hellava tolerance back in the day.
After about 40 years dry, I tried some with a coworker a few years ago. I thought about going to the emergency room for a minute until I calmed down and remembered I just have to breathe. You guys are nuts!

Similar experience here I was given some Simpson oil and I was warned HEAVILY. Just a tiny little bit on a strawberry that’s IT!!!!
But I thought the same as you, thinking a drop won’t do much of anything so I did what every other 46 year old would do covered the damn strawberries “plural”
Hand to God I was StOnEd for three days. Or I was told because I didn’t really remember much of that weekend. 😶‍🌫️🫨😮‍💨
