Who didn’t see this coming? It’s a no brainer to spend less for a product of equal quality. It’s called a black market.

That was proclaimed forever. Legal pot sales would reduce kids from using and dry up the black market. People actually seemed to believe that.

Or another theory which is just as likely is they knew it would fail but just wanted to get high without legal hassles.

How long before medical pot is prescribed for tension? Get a script for pot to chill your tension. Medicaid foots the bill, half the country chilling out on gubmint dope.
