Things could be better, for sure, but it is pretty awesome for the average person in a legal state (or country) to be able to buy and grow weed legally. Give it time for the “war on drugs” generation to die out and things will be even better.
I mean Ohio Republicans literally want to change a law that was passed by referendum, just to be assholes, but weed being legal in Ohio is still pretty kickass.
and they were right. they grew up in an era where cannabis was completely illegal at all levels and the cultural push was to increase penalties. Now it’s legal in some form in the majority of states with others getting on board pretty quickly and the push as the federal level is to deregulate entirely and leave it up to the states. I think it will be legal for adults everywhere in the US at the state and federal levels in our lifetimes.
That’s a good story. But it’s true that things are improving, right? Canada is now fully legalized and about half of the US states are legal-ish. Mexico will get there since their Supreme Court said the ban is illegal.

I’d say the problem is how some states have manipulated the market to only benefit big players.
Illinois, for example, has given out the fewest licenses to grow and made it illegal to grow for personal use.

Things can be good and also not good enough.
that is what the last generation said
have a story passed down through two generations of a woman in the 20s putting a towel under the door so the smell did not get into the hallway
