Gotta suck to live in a state where it’s illegal. It’s so normalized in CA now, I don’t smoke but I don’t think about it when I smell it or see people smoking or whatever. Lots of my elderly moms friends trying it out for pain relief, relaxation etc. Almost overnight it just became totally normal.

Same thing happened in Canada

Dozens of weed stores sprang up overnight in pretty much every single city across the country

Large grocery chains opened their own to complement their liquor stores

it's wild walking into a store with regular ass lookin grocery store employees asking how you'd like to get ripped today

It's been amazing walking into the dispensary and being able to go "I want my week to do xyz, what do you recommend?" And bam it works. No more shady weed that you don't know if it's bunk or couch lock.

…or having to talk to that weird guy, even though he had some good stuff. You know the guy…

He was always the last resort for us too, and we went to him in pairs lol.

I agree, but I also kind of miss the thrill of the chase. And then opening up the baggy to see exactly what it is I just scored. It could be a gamble, but it was kind of fun.

Not sure that variable is that wild to me tbh! That’s precisely what liquor stores are like. Hell those enormous wine stores got fuckin half speed somoliers pushing adult wares down yer gullet.

At the same time regular ass grocery store attendants aren’t asking you how you’d like anything, to busy hating their fookin life

I really don’t want that to happen in the US. Half my family is allergic and we very much like breathing.

I have a medical card now (I didn’t when the cops were accidentally called) and the dispensary told me it’s still illegal for me to make edibles at home with product I got legally. I’m just happy I don’t have to drive 4 hours to get stuff anymore

A few weeks ago I accidentally told a cop that I make edibles. I didn’t know she was a cop but thankfully I don’t think they give a shit enough to make a fuss.

It’s probably only illegal to make edibles at scale/for sale. No chance you will ever face any charges for making edibles in your own home, unless you’re being raided and they stack that onto other more substantial charges.

The best place for a dispensary is across the road from the retirement home.
