Built this dashboard to visualize cannabis sales in real time across North America during 4/20. The data updates live from thousands of dispensary POS transactions as the day unfolds.

Under the hood, we’re using Estuary for data streaming and Tinybird to power super fast analytical queries. The charts are made in Tremor and the map is D3.

Walk-in sales indicate these stores are everywhere. It's kind of scary to be honest.

The irony is my hippie uncle hates how legalization took away a lot of the culture surrounding weed in terms of bonding over the illegally and cooperatively hiding each others "bad habits."

I think those circles are still out there. Making something popular will naturally dilute it and remove some of its original appeal. Eternal September, etc.

On the other hand, giving the population an alternative to alcohol is a good thing, especially when it can have positive medicinal effects in some situations.

Was your uncle white and never went to jail over it?

The irony is that these people at least these I know we're the one's banging the drums of freedom of smoking marihuana. Now "corporations stole their culture". Even if I somehow understand it evokes some weird form of disent elitism.
