2 minTim riffs on the modern edibles market, comedians getting too high before shows, weird pot-infused food trends, and whether he handles alcohol and drugs well compared to Ray.
- 6:18Tim smoked weed heavily from 1998 to 2010, but edibles didn't exist back then—just homemade brownies or Rice Krispie treats.
- 6:48Why do chefs now insist on infusing food with weed when you could just have a steak and a drink separately, like beer chicken is a flavor component but scotch-infused steak isn't a thing?
- 7:18When something gets legalized, people go crazy trying to figure out new ways to make money, which is what happened with the edible market.
- 7:34Edibles are unpredictable—when you ingest them, you don't know when or how hard they'll hit, so comedians will show up to gigs completely wrecked after eating one thirty minutes prior.
- 7:55Tim doesn't get the whole pot edible thing because there's too much weed in them and it's impossible to scale down what you're actually getting.
- 8:09The other person accuses Tim of not handling anything well, noting he doesn't handle alcohol well either.
