I think some people had a lot of unrealistic expectations about the legalization of cannabis back in the years of prohibition.
Some people seem to think that marijuana would be sold on every single street corner and allowed in every public venue in every public place.
The reality is that in the areas where marijuana is currently legal, there are a lot of rules put in place over its use and where it’s sold. For instance, there is a city in Europe that’s known for its legal cannabis going back decades. However, a lot of people don’t realize that you can’t buy cannabis in that City that’s grown by a legal cannabis company. All of the Cannabis sold in those coffee shops over there are sourced from the black market in europe. Some of the Cannabis on the black market is decent, some of it isn’t. Honestly, I would rather pay the higher prices to get good quality medical cannabis here in the United states. I don’t mind the fact that I can’t use it in most public places as I typically use cannabis at home instead. Although it would be nice to be able to go hiking with a cannabis oil pen and not worry about getting in trouble. Most of the park rangers in my area are chill about cannabis use, but you never know for sure. The last thing I want is to lose my medical cannabis card because I was caught using cannabis in public. That is a real fear for anyone who possesses a medical marijuana card, that if they don’t follow the rules they’ll suddenly lose their card and access to the plant.
