Part 2/20:
The Ubiquity of Weed and Public Perception
The narrative reflects on how marijuana's presence has become so normalized that tourists often visibly react to its smell, sometimes with playful surprise or annoyance. There's a humorous acknowledgment of protective maternal instincts: women, especially mothers, exhibit heightened sensitivity to weed in public, viewing it as dangerous or invasive. The speaker also shares amusing anecdotes of encounters with fellow yoga practitioners who are noticeably intoxicated—such as an older man hotboxing his van during yoga class—highlighting the ongoing integration of drug influences into everyday activities.
