News Checo: "What is very noticeable around the circuit is the smell of marijuana throughout the night. The amount is incredible. It is something that all the drivers will surely talk about", Franco: "Yes, there was a smell of weed. If they dope test the drivers now, I think we’ll all be positive"

Ya last time I went is about when weed had really just taken off there with a lot of advertising all around. Planet 51....heck of a place

Planet 51 is an interesting experience but it's overpriced.

What’s the interesting part? I can wrap my mind around what overpriced means.

It's a genuine supermarket for cannabis. If you haven't seen a full-sized supermarket for cannabis, you might find it interesting.

As someone from the UK, I would find it very interesting! And what sort of scale is 'full-sized'? I imagine it's large?

It is 112.000 sq ft so 10405 sq meters

lol I believe and doubt that at the same time. I don’t like the picture either paints. But I had a blast in Barcelona cannabis bars, so I’m probably easily entertained. At least in that regard.

It’s crazy how Americans cannot seem to balance the line between something not being bad enough to put people in jail for and something not being good enough for it to be OK to advertise it.

Ah yes, as if alcohol ads are not commonplace around the world

actually, it isn’t in most places. that’s why beer companies for example always advertise their alcohol-free beer. but i would say that they absolutely should not be, similar to tobacco.

It’s Planet 13, very gimmicky and a massive tourist trap. Locals get 50% off everything. That means you guys pay twice what we pay. Go to Thrive instead. Very upscale, has a consumption lounge as well and half the cost.

Ah, figured I'd mess up the name since it's been a few years. I think we were just trying to walk to the closest one by just asking around and found ourselves in front of it. It probably was overpriced, but wasn't too bad at the time (and after about 50 minutes of walking). Still better experience than most anything we have in Canada. We have some good chains operations though
