FTR, I’m a grumpy old bat who disdains the use of any substance for the express purpose of intoxication or getting high. And unlike a nice glass of wine or cold beer that can be enjoyed in moderation, does anybody really choke back that disgusting-smelling skunk weed recreationally for any reason other than to get a buzz?
Legalization is federal but they have left regulation and enforcement to the provinces and municipalities. Here it will not be legal to consume pot anywhere that it currently isn’t legal to consume alcohol AND smoke cigarettes. Since smoking isn’t allowed in bars or restaurants and alcohol is not allowed to be randomly consumed outdoors, that basically leaves nowhere but in your own home or yard to consume it. Renters will be bound by whatever rules landlords put in place.
I guess we’ll see. Recent polls of users show the vast majority say it will all depend on price. The current proposed government-regulated price (the minimum that can be charged by the licensed retail outlets) is apparently $10/gram + tax. Knowing nothing about marijuana procurement, I have no idea if that’s good deal or not.
As a few people have said, some use it for pain relief or to help with appetite. I imagine that edibles and creams get the job done too.
I think your fear is overtaking you and it really shouldn’t. I get not wanting to smell weed while people are smoking it outside but I guarantee that most people would rather smell weed being smoked than a cigarette (me included).
