    Possibly but that's not what the manager said. And if it is what ridiculous choice to make.

  • Hardware stores here were declared essential as were multiple "fix it" type businesses in this county. Our county (Republican) judge set all very reasonable parameters for shelter in place that were weeks ahead of our slow draw Governor and our "death is a good thing" Lt. Gov. Even restaurants can sell both prepared food and groceries (food from their suppliers already contracted) in drive through or drive up manner. 

    You can even get handed keys for a test drive at open dealerships or bring it in for repair as I did this week. Everyone had masks and gloves of some kind and we all kept social distance in place. Out of courtesy I also wore a mask for the protection of the dealership & their customers. I do the same when we go for takeout. Even bought a bottle of wine at a nearby vintner where they had 3 long tables enclosing the inside of an entryway with hand sanitizers on each table. Ordered what I wanted and a woman put on her mask & gloves, took a bottle out of the 12 case wooden packaging and place it in a plastic bag that came right out of the cardboard bag holder it came in. Then she placed it on the table. She backed away and I placed what I owed her as I picked up the bag and left the change as a tip.

    One of the reasons our county has really leveled off is because everyone is trying to do it right and everyone is trying to frequent any business that is still open which also is trying to do it right. We accelerated cases and deaths for about the first two weeks of the new order, but now have stayed almost even with just over 150 cases and no more than the initial 4 deaths in over two weeks now.

    we took our car in, didn't wear masks, but when anyone hands them the keys, the attendant has a couple of bleach wipes the keys go directly into and they are cleaned. This place - is sterilized professionally every morning and evening and few customers. A few more came in yesterday, so maybe today when we pick it up ... but everyone working there is perfectly healthy. One service guy wore a mask. some wear gloves. If they do go ahead and have our usual yearly big campout - I wonder how it will be different to be safe.

      I'll be they will have servers at the pot luck, instead of everybody serving themselves... we don't have the luxury of taking it all for granted now.

    Most states require a medical card to buy it so I think they are being pretty flimsy with what is being deemed medicine and thus essential.

    No. You're confusing why weed stores are open with why liquor stores are open...

    And why can they not do without it? Because the store is open? Pretty weak cause and effect argument there. 

    Medicinal. 

    That's why it is open.

    Then it shouldn't be considered essential people should be able to do without recreational Pot just my opinion. 

    i don't think the drug is addictive i think the high is addictive.

    In states where it is legal, I disagree.. I don't smoke but if it's legal then I see no reason to stomp on the people's right to obtain and use it.

    Not at the same time they can't buy other products such as seeds to plant a garden for food.  People have the right to purchase anything that's not illegal but some are not considered essential.

    Just don't think it's essential.

  • Weed may be "physically" non-habit forming short term, but anything that invokes a dopamine response can exhibit long term affects and develop a certain level of addiction in time.

    I.e. you'll notice the difference in long term users re: irritability when high v not.
