I don't know about your region, but mine has taken to the legalization of marijuana with great fervor. Stores that were just selling generic herbs and smoke supplies have started including it in their line up. Hell, the bait and tackle shop just across the bridge has been styling themselves as a dispensary with out the paperwork to back it up. Throw on top of that the fact that they're not age checking who is coming in and buying product, they've landed themselves in hot water. They haven't been shut down yet, but I give it a few weeks. From what I hear, their customer service is awful.
I know that marijuana is a helpful medication for self-medicating for a variety of conditions. My psychologist said that if my bipolar didn't feature psychosis in deep depression, I'd be a fine candidate for using it to treat my cptsd. His concern is that the marijuana would cause psychosis and the way my psychosis goes it's pretty terrifying. But I know people that it is helping them live a healthy and productive life.
With this yammering at the national level about enacting prohibition against marijuana again, I am highly annoyed. Let the people have their weed and focus on solving real problems. Like food insecurity in this nation or the number of people who are functionally homeless because they didn't get government assistance in rebuilding their homes after natural disasters. Don't get me started on the policies about homelessness and sending the national guard into cities to bring them into line. I have a lot of anger on that one.
I have a bad feeling about all of this.
