Hell, when I was an Oklahoman teen you just had to know which store to buy at. Need cigs? Hotel at 51st and Harvard got a machine.

And that’ why we were healthy! You had to ride to get your buzz on! (I’m only partially joking.)

I’ve had middle schoolers tell me which gas stations will give you vapes. And gotten in trouble with principals for trying to shut down kiddy drug rings…

If the clerk didn’t sell, we’d find a homeless person usually. Fee was 2-3 cigarettes.

  😆 Yep! Still there? I threw my 17th birthday party there. Teachers, parents, everyone knew. Terrible opsec. We got busted and kicked out. TWICE.
  
  Gods, I had completely forgotten that. What a night!

    Yes, it’s still there! I doubt the cigarette machine still is, lol. I had to move into a motel recently and that was one I looked up. But I drive past there all the time for work and that motel and the QT in front of it are not my scene, lol.

    Nice! 56th and Marion is my old hood, grew up there. By the time I left Tulsa the place was known as a place to pick up cougars. LOL, I was too young but I tried one night!
