PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country1·4 hours agoI’m in Canada where it is legal everywhere.
Since weed is so crazy inexpensive to grow, drug dealers have just dropped the price to where legal growers can’t compete due to the price of bureaucracy and process and things like having to actually test for potency and label appropriately.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country1·5 hours agoPeople can get addicted to anything.
If the addiction isn’t a chemical dependence, and isn’t inherently extremely harmful, then I think it should be accessible and addiction support should be available.Cannabis is legal here, and the level of addiction you’re describing is both very uncommon, and typically just exacerbating issues caused by other drugs or mental illness.

Not really a con, but a letdown: legal retailers can’t really compete with drug dealers prices, so it didn’t hurt the illegal drug industry or generate as much taxes as hoped.

If you can, then they can, because they don’t have to pay for the bureaucracy, no need for testing and accurate labeling, etc.
