Hi Everyone,

This post is getting popular and that is wonderful. I want to remind everyone new (and old) to the sub to read through the rules before commenting. We are a strict sub and we know that.

In particular for this one rules 3 and 5. This is not a place to share a personal story about purchasing weed or your impression of your neighborhood. It is also not a place for you to complain about how statistics are portrayed.

I’d really rather not lock the post (I don’t like doing that), but unless the sheer volume of rule breaking comments slows down it will have to be done to deal with them.

Please report any rule breaking comments you see and let us know if you have questions,

You can reach out to us in mod mail or if you have ideas for the sub you can try r/IdeasForELI5
