It's ironic because you don't seem to give a shite about the 100s of pharmacies in LA pilfering opiates, the 1000s of liquor stores on every corner, and lets not forget the dollar general popping up on every corner. physical dispensaries will be the least of societies concern


I care about all of that stuff, and every step of the way has been a step down to a society that every thinking person is displeased with. I'm not excited about this next step, and I do think it will make our towns worse than they already are.
Yes, classy people will be happily enjoying marijuana in many forms with little effect on society, but we all know that the lower classes are going to be buying weed at trashy-arse shops on every corner, smoking it in front of every gas station, and walking into the grocery store stinking to high heaven.
And it will further exacerbate the already community-crippling divide between rich and poor.
But I should just eat some brownies and relax, because it's square to care about ones community.

You think this isn't already happening?

They already are, usually illegally on the street. I'd say a regulated storefront is the better option. FYI it is ILLEGAL to smoke in public in most states where it is legal recreationally. you're showing your ignorance on the matter, which is why this bill has no chance.

2 things:

1) both classy and trashy people are already smoking weed as if it were legal so having a shop to buy it at won’t create a “problem” that doesn’t already exist.

2) an easy fix to your public smoking issue is to make smoking in public against the law similar to an open container law. Vapes and edibles could be allowed publicly as they don’t smell or draw attention, just the act of smoking. In most places you can’t drink in public, I don’t see why smoking can’t be the same. I personally don’t care for adding this law but if that’s what it takes to allow myself and others to be able to buy weed at a store like a good American then I will concede it.
