Super Troopers 2 Review

This blog post is a spoiler-free review for Super Troopers 2. 

Hello readers, I hope everyone is having a great week! 

Super Troopers 2, is the follow up moving to the 2001 movie "Super Troopers". The movie brings back Super Troopers Mac, Thorny, Foster, Farva, and Rabbit as they try to get their jobs back at the Vermont Highway Patrol when the state acquires new land in Canada. The group continues on their adventures and learn how to deal with the Canadians and future US citizens. 

If you enjoyed the first Super Troopers, you'll enjoy this one just as much, if not more. The movie had many jokes and callbacks to the first movie. It also had cameo appearances by Marlon Waynes Jr and Stifler from American Pie! If you enjoy bad puns you'll also enjoy this movie! All in all, I enjoyed this movie and was not high when I saw it (even though I'm sure you might) Comment below and let me know what you think of the movie!

Check out the trailer here if you haven't already!

Can Marijuana Influence The Boston Culture?

Hello All. 

Just a thought to start with: I hope everyone had a nice, safe, and eventful 4/20 last week,  I think everyone is finally coming down from their high.  My main thought last week was: “wow this is going to be the last 4/20 in the state where all of the marijuana was purchased on the black market (illegally).  Think about it, next year during this time there will be retail shops over the state where it can be purchased.  From a marketer perspective, I think those shops are going to advertise for 4/20 immensely.  Weed promotions and discounts on all paraphernalia in honor of the stoner’s holiday. 

The other day, major national magazine Rolling Stone, published an article titled “The Rolling Stone Guide to Legal Pot: Massachusetts”.  I urge everyone to check this article out. Specifically focus on this quote:

“Lobster rolls, a baseball game at Fenway and some locally grown cannabis? Starting July 1st, 2018, Massachusetts will be your one-stop destination for all three. After decriminalizing personal pot possession in small amounts in 2008 and legalizing medical marijuana in 2013, in 2016, Bay State voters finally approved a ballot measure that legalized recreational cannabis. It has taken a bit of time to sort out all of the regulations and policies surrounding it, but now, almost two years later, the state is close to opening its first legal recreational dispensaries. In only a few short months, both residents and tourists alike will be able to legally enjoy a range of dispensaries, cafés and other enticing cannabis-related offerings. So what will happen on July 1st? Anyone 21-plus will be able to visit a dispensary walk inside, peruse a menu and order a couple grams, a few joints, or even an ounce of their favorite strain.”

Just looking at that first line, that could now be the culture for Boston, and considering marijuana’s growing popularity and more importantly, acceptance, marijuana is forseen to make a major splash in the city.

Hey Let's Meet at The Cannabis Cafe?

Hello folks, which one of you could go for a cup a coffee right now? I know I sure can! But have you ever envisioned an area where people could meet up and participate in social consumption of marijuana? Think of a coffee cafe but for weed, where adults may gather to purchase or consume weed legally! 

According to Bob Salsberg, "The Cannabis Control Commission, the five-member panel set up to regulate the state’s marijuana industry, is expected to decide later this month whether to approve draft regulations that would allow for the licensing of social consumption establishments. The idea has received strong opposition from Republican Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration and from law enforcement officials who warn of public safety and public health risks if such facilities were to open.Baker has suggested the Commission at the very least hold off on licensing social operations until after the commercial pot industry is up and running later this year." 

This may spark up discussion as to why this could be good or bad and I'd like to know what you all think about it. Do you think there shouldn't be a place where people could come together to consume weed together, sort of like a bar? Or there should!? I know there are many people who would argue that if there are alcohol consumption establishments there should be weed ones but should one first "crawl before they try to walk" as Republican Gov. Charlie Baker told reporters.
