Good Things in Small Packages

Your humble boomer-blogger is embarrassed that his first three guesses about the subject of this article were wrong:

Small joints have become big business in California

Is the piece about 1) restaurants/bars; 2) the place where bones of the body meet; 3) prison? Nope, it's marijuana. [bold added]

Big men don't need big joints (SFGate)

Small joints have become big business in California. The state’s biggest pot brands have followed suit, recognizing the reality that many customers don’t actually want that much weed in one session. Micro joints “have exploded” in popularity in the last few years according to Eli Melrod, the CEO and co-founder of the dispensary chain Solful. He said his company is now working on releasing its own version of the bite-sized blunts under the house brand.

Micro joint fans say their benefits are plentiful. The smaller portion allows them to easily be finished in one sitting, as opposed to a larger joint that might require you to put it out and carry around a smelly half-smoked joint in your pocket. Modern pot is extremely potent, so many cannabis users simply don’t want to smoke a full gram joint...

[Chad] Heschong said the only small joint he had previously seen was a half gram, but he took the concept even further by releasing a joint that’s just 0.25 gram. Selfies sells the joints in two-packs, 12-packs and even 28-packs, which he said have become very popular for weddings and other parties where people want to share cannabis with a big group.

At our wedding in the last century we just served alcohol and food. Then, as now. I lacked imagination.
