usa trip, lokalpatriotism, food mention, 420 mention
rn i definitely dislike la, but after visiting some early-gentrification young-hipster places in downtown (gigantic bookstore in an old building, food market like the one in like every european city, dispensary that wasn't sensory hell and was run mostly by locals my age), i would hereby like to conjecture:
in the parallel universe where i was born and grew up in the la area (and still couldn't drive), i'd have loved-hated it in much the same way i love-hate the tlv area back home in our universe
blorbo from my shows, 420 shops, autism?, re: usa trip, lokalpatriotism, food mention, 420 mention
the only other dispensary i've been to in la was a place that i can only conclude is run by tom haverford and jean ralphio saperstein
dark, loud music, everyone yelling over the loud music, colorful flashing lights everywhere, branding intended for people who use the word swag unironically; and while there's nothing morally wrong or w/e with any of those things,,, the combination of all of them was a bit overwhelming
it was pretty much peak la area dispensary
