Out of curiosity, were it to be decriminalized, which companies would be “ready to roll” immediately and capture the market?
“decriminalize” does not mean “make it legal”. It means civil penalties and rehab as opposed to decades in Terminal Island.
Massachusetts “decriminalized” last election; fine of $100 for posession of less than one oz and rehab for minors caught with pot.
Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds probably already have the blueprints drawn and marketing developed.
Really hard to profit on something so easy to grow its called a weed. If decriminalized I dont see a large trade in store-bought pot. Some for the connoisseurs who want a different type of bud.
For the most part those who want to partake regularly will likely try growing one female plant and harvestign the buds as they mature.
In any case it will remove the profit potential that feeds the black marketeers.
