DC smells like Amsterdam (and not in a good way).

MD should not make the same mistake.

Most of the people I know in places like Colorado and elsewhere that it's fully legalized either go for edibles (no smell) or can purchase good quality weed that doesn't smell like it was smuggled in a sweaty migrant's underwear and then stored under dead skunk carcasses for 2 years.

You can very easily both walk into a store or get delivery of edibles to your home or a neutral location. You don’t seem to know a lot about what you are talking about.


You can't directly buy it. More like you buy some other overpriced item of no value and they give you a "free gift" with your purchase. It's a very broken system thanks to Congress.

What are YOU talking about and why are YOU posting?

Recreational marijuana CAN NOT LEGALLY BE sold or purchased in DC.

"Recreational is legal in Washington, DC, however, the sale of marijuana for recreational purposes remains illegal. It is only legal for adults 21 and over to possess and grow marijuana and to transfer without sale up to one oz. of flower to another adult. Medical marijuana is also legal and there are seven medical dispensaries in Washington, DC which medical patients can access with a licensed medical card. "

Are you an idiot? You can procure weed and edibles through several bricks and mortar stores and delivery services that advertise. Actual weed users that live in the area have zero problem legally procuring weed and edibles. You don’t live here and it shows.

Since the PPP lives out of town. This article can help them to understand how easy it is to procure recreational weed in DC.

Half of the addicts in the US are addicted to marijuana.

Do not believe the lie that it’s not addicting.

And now most of NOVA stinks during high school lunch hour, and every weekend. Plus the people doing 45mph on the beltway are getting to be a serous nuisance.

Don’t make the same mistake, MD!


COMPLETELY AGREE!!! NEVER LEGALIZE POT IN MARYLAND. IT WILL DISTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE! I hate going to NYC now because, not only does it wreak of urine and trash, now it also wreaks of pot. I will vote against its legalization.


Yeah if given the opportunity I will vote against marijuana legalization

+1

There have been several cases of death in the past few weeks due to altercations between user and sellers, as well as kids bringing it to school imagine how much worse if this is legal un MD. I can imagine people driving while high.

This is why so many PPs are complaining about smell. First off, in one-two more generations people won't smoke as much weed as we do now. Second, it's only legal to do in a private residence. So if you smell it in the garage of a building, then those people are doing it illegally. Lastly, and most importantly, is that by keeping it illegal you are punishing poor people who are usually POC. Yes we have medical marijuana but you have to almost lie to the doctor to get it, and it's expensive to get a license. It's about $300 the first year (with a registration fee) and to renew is $150.

Just because YOU don't want it legal doesn't mean it's best for society.



What’s best for society is not having everyone stoned.


Why would people who don't use pot suddenly turn into stoners once it's legal? Clearly, it being illegal hasn't been a deterrent at all.

That’s not what investors think.

The great thing about our area is that three jurisdictions affords one a lot of choice. You can buy marijuana at a grey market store in DC today. Retail sales will start in VA in 2024 and if you have a medical condition you can purchase it in MD. Lots of choices.


Investors think the legal market will be worth investing in because it will cannibalize the existing black market. You don't need a lot of people to start newly using marijuana for marijuana to be a good investment if it's legal.

And yet the black market still thrives where weed has been legalized. For example, there was a record $1.2 billion dollar weed bust in California just last summer.

Pretty sure “best for society” is not people stoned all the time. Go out to Seattle or LA. It’s sad to see so many people waste their lives on the streets and high. We have enough issues in MD and neither want nor need that here.


Yup, definitely all the people living on the streets in Seattle and Los Angeles are (a) only using marijuana, not harder drugs and (b) only on the streets because they smoke weed.

It’s a dumb argument. Anyone that’s been to California or Washington state in the last couple years can attest that access to edibles does not decrease the stink.
