california started down the reintroduction of cannabis road 20 years ago when they gave it 'medicinal' status, meaning it could be legally obtained with a doctors prescription. This was soon changed to a card system, doctors being inundated with repeat prescription requests.
they then de-crimmed it, making quantities of less than an ounce at the buyers end could be held without prosecution.
this ran contrary to federal law, but many states reserve their own systems of governance.
after a couple of years of this, californians noticed they had not undergone cataclysmic change and fallen into the pacific ocean, and that the population was not hanging about gutters and sleeping in doorways. they legalised it for recreational use.
as opposed to here where they wish to ban delivery, california embraced it, shying away from bricks and mortar dispensaries that thrust the product into the publics eye at street level.
this gave the industry a legitimate but underground delivery system that had no public face. no advertising, no shops.
to get a delivery you must register using photo id. order online or by phone. when delivered you get a text, you meet the guy curbside where identity is confirmed and goods and cash are exchanged.
the streets and bars and public spaces dont stink of weed. you still cannot consume publicly.
you cannot buy it from a liquor store or service station or dairy. you must order and wait, no instant gratification.
its a system that works very well and we would do well to take note. eventually it will happen here, we should glean as much knowledge as we can from other countries as to what does and doesnt work.
with the criminal element removed intake systems changed. waxes and concentrates are popular, no smoke, no lung issues no smell. clean and safe. dry herb is available but seems to be for old school tokers. much of it has been infused with concentrates to give a hellatious kick, something the millennials arent really into. edibles are very popular. transportable, innocuous, safe and yummy, with a nice slow come on and longer lasting effects.
i may have won 'best new customer' spot at my local delivery whilst there.
