Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
Pro: way more variety of edibles I can't make myself (like fruit gummies), and I know the strength before I consume.
Not really a con, but a letdown: legal retailers can't really compete with drug dealers prices, so it didn't hurt the illegal drug industry or generate as much taxes as hoped.
Unmeasured edibles in the olden days, oh boy... I don't miss it.
In Germany (where you can now get it via a club or as medication) it is a little bit cheaper since the legalization in some clubs.
I'm in Canada where it is legal everywhere.
Since weed is so crazy inexpensive to grow, drug dealers have just dropped the price to where legal growers can't compete due to the price of bureaucracy and process and things like having to actually test for potency and label appropriately.
My shop sells $30 ounces. Never met a dealer slinging that cheap.
If you can, then they can, because they don't have to pay for the bureaucracy, no need for testing and accurate labeling, etc.
