Cannabis, how is it legalized?

[kojack]

well it doesn't seem to be as harmful as alcohol,however I can impaired pretty easily from THC and only use delta 8( that might just be me, my head has been slammed so many times I don't have normal reactions(again vados.even in a can .good grief!)

I tried it when it became legal here. Never touched it before. I had a couple of 2.5mg drinks. They were super tasty and I got nice warm fuzzies out of it. Now, I have my Medical Card for Canada. I get high quality stuff that the stuff in the stores just cant touch. Not even close. The smell, taste, effects are great. Change the temp in the vape to change the effects. HIgh temp to get ripped, lower temps to have a nice happy buzz. (what I use on bike). ha ha. It's way better for your system than alcohol and you function much better in society than if you were drunk. Just a win win win situation.

I’ve seen places move toward legal sales by setting age limits, testing rules, and licensed shops. Clear standards usually cut down on contaminated stuff and give people safer options.

the best way to to increase demand for something is to make it illegal without a reasonable substitute.

6 of us ate some gummies, and all ended up in an Emergency Room. One Dispensary here has some questionable gummies. All sick people ate gummies from a smoke shop. Another dispensary owner, father and son, are nice fellows, but I opted to go back to the Minnesota Medical program. Free to veterans and USP quality goods! These days I typically eat decarbed pieces of buds.

Cannabis? Well, this subject interests me. I live in the UK and it is banned, so it is all black market deals, but it is crap, it is weed and i don't trust it at all, I believe it is contaminated with legal highs, of at the least just what is called skunk, a horrible 'high of high strength wipe you out'. That really is all there is in the UK these days. In the '80s it was only just hash resin, no weed at all, but even this resin was mucked around with, you'd find bits of polythene in it. You never really knew. UNLESS you went to Ansterdam where it was legal. Cafe shops. They had a menu. It was great, good stuff you could rely on. We used to go to a camping site called Camping Zeburrg and everyone was well stoned, real Cheech and Chong. That said, I have never been a big smoker, BUT, that said, at that time in my earlier life it did have some interesting perspectives which I am grateful of.

These days? well I don't bother. There isn't the good stuff around and, well, 'I learnt' from it, which was good, but now I know that, it only would offer me a change from lager.

BUT....if it was legalized here in the UK I would buy some and try it, knowing it would be more likely to be sound stuff, just mild, not mind-blowing. Make a change from lager.

But, I hear about ganga being legalized more and more. I suppose it is really to guarantee the quality, for health reasons. So what is it like in say the US in a state with has legalized it. Is it a shop and/or a 'cafe'? Is there a menu? Do you have choice of hash and weed and different strengths? And how it it going down in society?

Here in the UK it is legal to have seeds but not to grow them, though you can buy hydroponic set ups for folks to break the law to grow their own.

So, what is the score in a state which has legalized dope, can you buy it cash? How, a shop? Anonymous? Is it better stuff? Is it better in terms of the larger society? Do more people smoke? What's the score?Is it backstreet or open mall?

Common frustration here in the UK, but things have moved on quite a bit since the days of just having 'skunk' or street resin as options. We now have legal, clinic-led access that focuses exactly on what you mentioned, quality and health reasons, without the risks of the black market.

The main difference with the legal route is the emphasis on responsible management. For instance, instead of just dealing with high-strength products that 'wipe you out,' doctors help you manage how your body reacts over time.
