    It's a great smell. :slight_smile: And most the time it has nothing to do with them smelling because they smoke it. It has to do with the fact that it's in their pocket that you're smelling it. :wink: Shower won't help that.

    Any when I get in an empty train car and it still reeks...

    It has a tendency to linger. Or someone was smoking it on the train, more likely than anything.

    Actually smoking on the train is different than someone smelling like it because they smoked... If someone was smoking on the train, or had it in their pocket, that's likely what you're smelling. Not the actual person who smoked. It's not like cigarette smoke. Unless they're clam-baking their car, you likely won't smell a "person" who smoked, like you would a cigarette smoker. With cigarettes, the biggest thing you're smelling is the scent on the hands from holding the cigarette. With weed, most people use pipes of some sort, as opposed to joints and blunts these days(at least in my circles) and that doesn't leave a lingering scent like a cigarette or a joint would.

    Hell yeah, everyone is so over TG's b.s. that they're discussing weed instead of KBBS.

    Classic economics: when pricing increases, people move to substitute goods. :wink:

    TG-- "Our beer is so pricey that people buy drugs instead"

    I called my Binny's and they claim they don't have any "drugs." I think they're lying and have it in back. You guys know where I can find any on shelf? DM me if you don't want to give up your source.

    You got to know "the right guy". I'd suggest spend some time meandering about, chatting to the beer guys. Buy some standard beers like Lagunitas IPA, but mix in a special release like Rumpkin or something too.

    You'll be allowed an allotment of the drugs in the back in no time.

    Nothing like driving the secondary market to insanity before the beer ever gets released. I may try to win one just so I can buy a new 65 inch 4k TV.... :rofl:

    I love TG's IPAs, but if anyone wants to start a global 1 year boycott of them- I'm on board after seeing this ridiculousness get even more bizarre.

    I passed on bombers of DDH PS this past weekend specifically for this reason. I'm done with buying their beers in general, I think.

    You up for the drive to Lake Geneva? I assume they're fresh.

    I haven't heard about DDH PS being released recently?? I certainly could've missed a social media post about it, though.

    I don't really pay attention to their social media, although I follow them, so you might be right. I just assumed they'd be sold out if they weren't fresh, but with smaller beer places, you never know.
