The guy on the inside seems to be in a prison uniform, and be on a prison phone comm system.

I presume the intent is to show how, while dispensaries are now in the mainstream, there are still plenty of (largely African American) people still separated from their children because they purchased or sold the same thing that this store is selling.

Ohhh I thought he was giving weed to a minor, and I was super confused on what the message was supposed to be haha

Dad talking to daughter. For what you can buy in a shop.

That would be a very good point but it's not showing that. It very much seems to be trying to show that working in a dispensary is the new prison. Which is dumb.
