(135,425 posts)You know how there used to be just "major" beer companies back in the day? And then, slowly, the "craft beer" thing started, and then there were "micro brews" and now many of the better pubs/bars offer a mix of small batch beers and national brands--the different methodologies co-exist without too much trouble.
I think, at least for the next, oh, fifty years or so, there will be people who like the idea of getting their weed the old school way; crumbling it up and rolling their own, or whatever. There will be some who like the convenience of a "pre-rolled" joint or a cookie or candy, and the young kids will no doubt like the vaporizing thing-a-ma-bob.
But old folks, and busy people, and people who don't do a lotta weed, but just want to have some handy in the house, sort of like that bottle of whiskey up in the hall closet for a special occasion? The pre-rolled cigarette pack is just the ticket. Who knows, maybe old school "smoking accoutrements" like gold cigarette cases, coffee table boxes, and so forth will come back into fashion. A clever person will start buying up these heavily discounted items against the day that a certain type of "smoking" becomes stylish again.
