THC-LESS JOINTS GROW IN POPULARITY A skunky, black-tarred smelling combination of burned paper and thick, untrimmed stems eervescing in elegance without a smidgen of buzz, save the absolute lack of oxygen to the brain, just says it all about the zeitgeist of the moment. One glance at the summer menus and trembling, nervous hands of the general public, and you’re bound to conclude a new era is upon us: that of joints, blunts, and even, maybe, someday, dabs, all without THC. Once dismissed as “ditchweed,” “bammer" and "schwag," the third-rate alternative to real bud is making a glamorous comeback, minus the free-loving, low- stress high. Mock joints aren’t just a fad. ey’re fashionable, a statement, kind of like champagne, or the adrenaline rush one might get from a slap in the face. “e world has shied to- wards mindfulness” says Bev Stein, whose establishment catered to the crowd well before its popularity. “Long time weed lovers still want to feel the tough pull of smoke through their lungs, but they don’t all want the relaxing, refreshing vibes that come with.” Stein's business has likewise striven to make the mock joints "new" by adding things like sage, lemongrass, pine, and other amenities that might add similar terpenes to the smoke. Not all are sold. “It’s not the same and it hurts my throat,” says avid-smoker and rst-adapter Stogie Mills. “My head hurts.” OTHER HEADLINES Stock market to take time o "for some dicult reection" "Retirees will soon have to retire from retirement" pg 150 Defense Secretary wakes up with tattoo on forehead pg 157 Shield of armor fails to block insult pg 166 Bad time shared at bad timeshare pg 171 **Brought to you by A1 Steak Sauce** “Please stop asking us to automate your scripts”
