Putting the Ass back in Asheville

Ok, we now have a dedicated thread for all posts about Asheville, since 1/3 of our board is spending a considerable amount of time there

yes, it probably made more sense to say 'putting the Ash back in Asheville' but where is the fun in that

this may be the only post in this thread...or maybe it will become our most popular

I'm in Merano. Can that have it's own thread too? Yesterday I did a 9+ mile solo hike, summiting two Dolomite peaks in the Val Gardena. Today, we had lunch at Knodelgluck. Or was it Gnodelgluck? Then we went to the thermal baths this afternoon. Tomorrow I drag the whole family on a hike, likely a 7 miler. They'll be hating me. At least there's lots of rifugio stops along the way A pint of hefe high on the mountain sure taste good.

Asheville is nice too. But my wife doesn't want to vacation in any state weed isn't legal. I can't believe she agreed to come to Europe.

Ciao

ashville is a nobody when it comes to The Big Acts.  you're not going to catch dua lipa or springsteen there.

but for mid-level, black cat/930 types acts?  they all stop in ashville.

so i guess it depends on what types of tours you're into.

Rabbit Rabbit and Salvage Station have expanded Ashevilles ability to get The Anthem size shows somewhat, but yes, Springsteen isn’t coming to the basketball arena.

Yeah not looking like it's anytime soon either
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/north-carolina-house-republicans-block-senate-passed-medical-marijuana-bill/

you would think with these numbers they'd pass something
A recent poll from the Carolina Partnership for Reform found that 82 percent of North Carolina voters are in favor of legalizing medical cannabis—including 75 percent of Republicans, 87 percent of unaffiliated voters and 86 percent of Democrats.

A separate question found that 60 percent of voters back adult-use legalization.

I saw a bunch of dispensaries in and around Asheville and assumed it was pretty much legal.

there are a LOT of stinky hippies down there, so just follow your nose

but you appear to be correct


not really sure how that works...looks like mostly CBD and Delta 8
but also looks like they got real stuff
Methinks there is very lax enforcement in the Asheville area

I saw college age kids going in to a dispensary

I think in Asheville and even a place we went to 20 minutes away- it’s pretty much legal

So everyone can quit bellyaching…I mean find something else insignificant to complain about..
