“Is this just something you think might happen, or is there some evidence of this?”
As I told another poster, I meant more would start eating it percentage wise compared with now, not that more would eat it than smoke it (sorry I wasn’t clear).
I think it would happen just because enough folks are health conscious and concerned about smoking anything these days that they’d eat it instead if they could afford it.
Possibly, but there is nothing to stop them from eating it now.
I've often been told by libertarians who are in favor of making marijuana legal that people who use it for 'medical' purposes smoke it rather than eat it because the relief they supposedly get isn't as potent or as quick when it gets eaten. The same would be true, of course, for those who use it only to get high. I don't see them eating it if it takes longer to get that way, nor if the 'high' isn't as 'high'.
