Why are people so stingy with 420

Being back home after a few years has been depressing without the old friends and family. People really are stingy with flower out here and I don’t get why. Growing is allowed, thca shops are widespread and Cali is our neighbor. So why does it feel like people are giving up their left nutt to smoke? When I was in hs my friends and I were going through a lot over the weekend while we were making min wage. What happened to the grind?
