Careful there buddy. The US hasn’t legalized it, only certain states have. That means you can’t travel around with it in the US even if you bought it legally.
Canada legalized it though.
Comment on Angela Rayner: I’ve taken all sorts — but we won’t legalise cannabis

Everybody in my town seems to think it’s legal ever since most of the US legalised it. The smell of weed is everywhere and I’ve seen numerous people casually smoke it in the street. The police don’t seem to care, so they may as well just make it official and start reaping the tax benefits.

Ah yes I forgot about Canada. I tried to be unambiguous but I am in the UK, and I just meant that the people in my town seem to believe that since the laws have largely changed over there then that somehow also applies to us. Everybody’s so blasé about using it and the cops don’t care so we should just tax the stuff already.

You realise it’s legal to use cannabis in the UK with a prescription? Cannabis was rescheduled in 2018.

I did not know that, though unless we’ve got a real dodgy doctor somewhere I doubt the entire town has a prescription.

There are a whole bunch of clinics. It’s not infeasible that an entire town has switched although probably unlikely, alas.

Yea I’m in the UK and smell it all the time too. It’s kind of the worst situation for it really. Cops don’t seem to care about possession so it’s use is widespread but cultivation is still illegal so it’s done by criminal gangs often exploiting vulnerable people and obviously not paying taxes.
