I don’t think it matters. People already believe that it is legal even if you cannot walk into a store to buy it without a medical card. It is also not that hard to obtain from DC where there are a lot of grey market shady shops/delivery services and limited to no regulation.

Marijuana use has become the new vaping. I think I would prefer if they made it easier for kids to access Juul and harder to access marijuana. But these are our societal priorities: nicotine needs to be stamped out while access to a very strong psychoactive drug on developing brains is increased. Obviously it would be good to reduce access to both, but somehow that doesn’t seem politically possible and so here we are.

The opioid issue is just another matter altogether. It has always been an issue upcounty around Damascus (apparently Rt 27 is called the “heroin highway”), particularly during the height of the opioid crisis a decade ago. Now it seems to have spread downcounty where it previously was not prevalent. It is interesting though that poor girl was from Damascus. I really feel for her mother.[/quote]
