      From Canada, where legalization has happened, it’s pretty much like nothing changed, except there are way more products on the market at way cheaper prices than before. Most people consume cannabis in their personal spaces, and there has been a ton of tax revenue, despite consumers paying about half of what I was paying before on the black market.

      It’s all-around a huge win.

        Yeah I’ll gladly pay 6% (the recreational-use tax here) to have access to whole array of products of varying strengths and methods of delivery. The ability to just walk into one of dozens of shops and purchase whatever flower/concentrates/edibles I want was an absolute game changer for me. The black market prices are super competitive but legal shops have so much more variety and you have a better idea of what you’re getting.
