@trees What are y’all’s thoughts on this mass legalization? Don’t get me wrong, I’m verrrryyy pro green. Been a life changer. But I have been seeing things that the big backers for this are the alcohol and tobacco industries. Personally I want them as far away from my green as possible. I don’t like the idea of big business and green. Am I looking at this wrong? I like my mom and pop shop. Sure it’s a bummer when they don’t have what I want but I’ve some of the best shit this way.

I'm quite excited for it, primarily, to help solve the human cost of drug-related violence, etc. If you don't want the alcohol, businesses, etc. Most of the state laws at least allow some sort of growing at home. So you could always do that.

In addition, it means consistent quality. I used to smoke, which was easy to self-regulate. Now I use edibles because I can be pretty sure what the effect will be.
