Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?

If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?

    Fuck legal weed. Legalization is great, that’s fine. But I’d pay more for black market weed to avoid having my addictions financially exploited by the exact same people who demonized, criminalized, and prosecuted cannabis users for the first 40 years of my life. Fortunately I don’t pay more, I pay less.

      Nah. Regulation is key.

      Anyone who’s had to sit on a stranger’s mysteriously moist couch in a filthy dark apartment for an hour waiting for “his guy” to buy an underweight bag of shitty flower knows that being able to walk in, and buy exactly what you want when you want it is FAR superior to that bullshit.
