Show HN: Real-time 4/20 cannabis sales dashboard using Estuary and Tinybird

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

What is the scary part?

It's high potency THC with things like live resin to get you even higher. It's marketed casually like alcohol. Teens and new adults casually getting into this stuff will have issues especially if they are predisposed to a variety of mental issues. The same is true for people who are depressed and use alcohol to "chill out", it's never ends well. We as a society don't have any clue when we roll out these "new features" on every corner. Same with anything, same with video games, same with social media. Your seven year old is addicted to tiktok, imagine that. Your 15 year old can't turn the fucking video games off. Your 25 year old can't put Instagram down. I'm not even talking about the whole class of drug addicts. Now imagine being addicted to all fucking 5 of those things? Then you get the 30 year old in therapy.

I would personally limit the number of purchases like we do Pseudoephedrine, and if you need more, get a medical prescription. We'll probably realize this in about 20 years, like we are finally realizing about social media. Social media needs to be 18+, like porn sites. Took us 20 years, but many places are doing it. We never have a serious discussion about anything when we roll it out. Alcohol on every corner and supermarket was one of the stupidest things we ever did.
