Edit: cant answer all the people, but I cant wait for it to be legal so I can grow it and help people. Weed has really helped me out a lot, and I want it to do that for others as well.
Thank you! It's the culture that turns me off. With increased legalization, do you think that culture will dissipate? Won't the "I'm edgy, cool, and anti-establishment" signalling go away once it's no longer edgy and illegal?
I think it will. I know a lot of people who smoke and they are just regular people who likes to relax and would like to not feel like a criminal about it.
I saw a story about a grower who went legal, and lost over 90% to taxation, only to be under more demand, higher restrictions. American communists have wet dreams about implementing Canada's weed monopolization nation wide.
Tough to say. Plenty of people grow their own here but they also enjoy the convenience of buying from the dispensaries. I don't know anyone here that smokes that doesn't buy from the dispensaries.
can't argue with that point. if there's a demand, people will supply it.
and we are talking about stoners, I'm sure there's plenty of them that don't feel like putting in the effort to grow quality stuff when they can just go down the street and buy it.
I don't partake but my wife does. On a recent trip to Vegas it was nice to be able to purchase some for her as asking strangers for weed in a large city is a great way to lose money, get laced weed, get arrested, get mugged.
"I'm going to help black people sell weed because they love doing that!" - Totally not racist Bernie Sanders

People who aren't into weed and have other more reasonable business ideas.
I smoke pot and was a manager at a grow for 5 years but I find weed culture & people who assume weed consumption as an identity so damn cringey.
Smoked pot for a few years, I Quit for work and feel much better actually. I was part of the weed culture meme. So cringey looking back on it
Can't smoke pot. The damn thing gives me panic attacks.
Our local pot smoking historian! Lol. We have the most diverse group of people, don't we folks?

What have you got against "the black rifle crowd?" They're the most law abiding people in existence, cops know this.
The people who sell it legally here in Oregon and can barely make a profit.
I heard about that, it was the state's bureaucratic meddling that fucked things up.
What a surprise. Salem fucks up everything.
let me take a guess, there's plenty of profit to be made, just that the government wants it all for itself.
Or maybe there's no margin in a commodity anyone can grow in their backyard/closet/windowsill.

Why is the legal stuff bad
What % does the black market still get?

Black market here in AZ.
Legal weed is GOV weed! They keep records of everything you buy if you have a medical pot card! Plus it's taxed out the ass!
feels bad man
Because it is still illegal in many states to grow it yourself. It has to be sold through a crony capitalist and taxed by the state to be legal.

Same reasons they don’t grow their own vegetables or raise their own chickens?

Why, you want some?
It’s true. To deny that is to deny reality. Be real with yourself ffs. The Truth matters.
What's true?
