toke up, Massachusetts
Gov. Charlie Baker today signed a bill that reshapes the state’s marijuana legalization law, kick-starting an 11-month sprint until pot shops can legally open statewide — during which officials will have to build an entire bureaucracy from the ground up.
Flanked by lawmakers key to crafting the legislation, Baker signed into law several changes to the ballot measure voters passed last November, including hiking the tax rate on sales from 12 percent to 20 percent. The state’s top leaders will now have to make several decisions, and quickly....

in the funny predicament of actually sort of dreading the legalization of cannabis in canada because it might mean i have to pay more/disrupt my supplier in some way. it's also pretty much decriminalized where i live and i smoke in public every day.
love to be solipsistic

"I think there are a lot of really right-wing old, white people out there who don't really know what's going on still. But once the kids grow up and get a chance to get into the voting booth, I think we'll see a change like we have in the few states that have legalized it. That could be a long way off, but in the meantime I don't think anybody's ever had any problems buying weed if they wanted it—whether it was legal or not—so it's a problem that one day may be solved, but right now it's not solved at all. Actually, a lot of people throw it on stage, so it's not that hard for me to get. [Laughs]
"I think there's a lot of things out there to be concerned about. So yeah, I'm concerned about it. And I'm hoping that more and more Americans will get concerned about it, because anytime you get even the hint that some foreign country might have anything to do with controlling our elections, well, that's very disturbing to me, and I think it should be to every American out there. But when I get out on the stage I don't bring in the politics. I don't care if you're a Baptist, a Methodist, a Muslim, or what the hell you are, as long as you like our music and you come to hear us, you won't hear me say anything bad about anybody. But if you ask me my personal opinion, well, I'll tell you what I think."

there many reasons why i think cannabis should legal, but let's be real one of the main ones is so i can just go down to the corner dispensary to buy it whenever i want

so many weed stores in my town now
I'm waiting for the market contraction, but it seems inexhaustible.
the one across the street from us has died down a bit, but they are still very busy. I hear that they have moved to reusable glass packaging instead of plastic, which is nice.

Well, it's finally gone and happened. Quebec has finally gone and fucked us. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-marijuana-legislation-breakdown-faq-2017-1.4404947
2017: I live in a society where cannabis is effectively legal and has been that way for a long time. No spoilers, but the cannabis community in Canada is enormous, organized, and dedicated. I have absolute freedom to support whichever growers and distributors I choose, and I am also able to consider overall customer experience as a part of the product I am receiving.
Mid-2017: Ontario liberal government stacks "think of the children" legislation on their pot bill: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/marijuana-sales-ontario-school-bus-cameras-safety-law-1.4403405
2018: Quebec police stop'n'search everyone everywhere based on new "driving high" laws, despite not understanding that effects of cannabis are harder to legislate than alcohol. Aggressive "roadside cannabis testing" targets marginalized communities in St-Henri, the east end, and Montréal-Nord. Stop and search also finds guns and other drugs because it constitutes a warrantless search. Quebec government's cannabis shops are only located in affluent areas, not open after 7pm (when people normally smoke cannabis) or after 5pm on Sundays. Quebec's cannabis distribution centres vont être fermés durant la période de la fête nationale... So on national holidays nobody will be able to buy any weed because the employees of the shops will have the day off to smoke weed. No one can grow cannabis. People suspected of growing are raided aggressively. Anyone with 151 grams of cannabis is imprisoned for life.
The war on drugs goes on. The liberal government used legalization as a tool to come to power and have ended up fucking us all by giving more power to provincial police forces and bureaucrats.
That's some fucking federalism right there

For some reason the novice or novalty partakers are always drawn to the edibles and it's like the worst thing for them to do unless they are very aware of dosage which of course they are not. I smoke daily but rarely fuck with them myself.
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 05:35 (six years ago) link
novices probably partly drown to edibles as smoking is viewed as unhealthy. lots of stigmas about that still
