Marijuana packaging SUCKS!

I know there are labeling requirements but just slap that fucking label on a sandwich baggie and fucking sell it to me even cheaper! Shit!

Those stupid commercial art zip bags fail all the time, have a double crease at the bottom where you have to dig out the last of yo weed and sometimes don’t tear open right so if you aren't near a pair of scissors then you might have to go rabid on the damn thing!

Jars suck too! Wasteful! What happened to film canisters??? Just slap a label on that and forget about the jar. Film canister production would come back. Glass thrown away is wasteful dangit! Reuse that film canister for the roaches!

Don’t get me started on the packaging for my PAX ERA vape. O.M.G. When I am done opening it we are both breathing heavy and that box (that is 1000x the size of the cartridge) is in shreds! Fuck.

Am I getting old?

before I leave the store. Sometimes they can't even get them open. I have wrestled with the various brands and all the packaging is ridiculous. One brand was impossible to open so I tried to break the plastic case with my hammer. It worked but the cartridge went flying across the room and hit the wall once it was freed and it cracked and I had to return it. Now, THEY open them for me.

When I need to take several hits just to relax AFTER all the anger and stress of dealing with the packaging, you know it is too extreme. It is almost comical watching me get out my screwdrivers, pliers, etc just to open a stupid package...it is ridiculous and not necessary.

Or in the case of down to the last of the weed digging it outta the creases.

I do have anger issues. That’s what the weed is for. Hehe!

I call it 'Suckerware'. Like it better than glass jars and it doesn't break.

I can pop the lid and check if drying out too much. If so, I wet a little piece of paper towel and toss it in.

Mine has been in storage more and more and using less and less.

accidently grab a candy. But yes, they are IMPOSSIBLE!! I now keep a small pair of scissors in my gear kit in my purse, as well as in the console of my car. No harm, no foul, keeps the babies safe.
