@WideThirdEye Here are a couple of actual upsides; 1) affordability and for people who reply in this as a medicine and are on limited incomes this is huge. 2) Specificty in the product, which is something the legacy/black market usually doesn’t offer. 3) A guarantee that certain pesticides aren’t present.
Personally I find your opinion of people you don’t even know standing in a line outside a dispensary objectionable but that’s just me.
We’ve got one government store in a town of 7,500 I live close to. No lines. Ever. The people who were inside the store looked normal to me. I’m the guy with hair down to his elbows and an old Pink Floyd shirt.
Maybe I’m the dirtbag b/c I do consume Cannabis all day and don’t work any more.
