Date: May 23rd, 2024 11:27 AM Author: Sepia Federal Dragon I think the situation in California from like 1995-2010/2015 was probably the best.
Weed was basically legal, but also a huge amount of the economy for it was untaxed or grey market.
Now basically no one wins - Cannabis clubs are everywhere and you have big money involved trying to breed the highest potency cannabis for the least amount of money and it's cheap. A subset of people want to get higher and higher and are suffering enormous mental damage as a result - particularly with latent schizophrenia. No way is 15% THC weed the same as 30-45% THC weed - its the difference between Wine/Beer and hard liquor.
Simultaneously you have all the aspects of a shitty commodity business - a race to the bottom, high production costs, almost no differentiation.
There was also a huge amount of people on the west coast who basically only knew how to grow and sell weed - they were very good at it - but also too stupid or ignorant to comply with the CA regulations/Tax issues. When legalization hit these people often found themselves without jobs and losing their land/houses etc if they tried to comply with the regulations. You need a county official on your land to evaluate your grow? No problem - but then they come onto your land and see your house is falling apart - so now the property is red tagged.
This underclass of people were much better off in the inefficient tax free underground economy, and now many are wasting away poverty/welfare/prison - while they were once subsidized by the grey market and not the state.
It's also a damn shame that there are so many cannabis clubs everywhere. It's disgusting.

Date: May 23rd, 2024 4:04 PM Author: Apoplectic Step-uncle's House there are portions of this that have some truth but most is alarmist nonsense.
the people that wanted to get higher and higher have always had hash or other concentrates that far eclipse high-potency weed in THC percentage; the analogy is more like comparing beer to wine or light beer to malt liquor and ignoring that hard liquor has been on the next shelf for decades.
there is way more differentiation in the cannabis industry than there was pre-recreational legalization. it's easier to find particular strains and easier to trust that the strains are what they claim, there are a shitload more products and more stable supply chains.
the people here were not "too stupid or ignorant" to comply with regs and taxes, the CA government was stupid enough to set taxes so high that it destroyed profitability for small farms, so the guys that were growing illegally for decades just shrugged and kept doing that.
these guys were better off in the underground economy, because the wholesale price of weed had a risk premium built in. that's deadweight loss. the industry as a whole and consumer are better off without it. |

Date: May 24th, 2024 9:02 AM Author: fantasy-prone lavender crotch i think it's an open question whether the consumer is better off in the new regime. given the vast impact that weed has on the body (hormonal, sleep, memory) many of the systemic and long term effects remain unknown. i hear your point that a dedicated consumer could find the hard liquor equivalent in the old world, but i would think that putting up a new hard liquor bar on every corner and removing all social stigma against it (even pretending that it is "medicine"), might increase the harm (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5531589&forum_id=2/#47688014) |

Date: May 24th, 2024 4:08 PM Author: Apoplectic Step-uncle's House the fact that the consumer can choose whether or not to use it without worrying about getting arrested or fined is a pretty big advantage.
also LJL at "systemic and long term effects remain unknown." rancid flame. cannabis is maybe the single most studied substance on the planet and we have decades upon decades of data on use. it's clear that heavy chronic use isn't as harmless as some of the faggy hippies that just love weed claim and more potent cannabis can drive some of that harm compared to less potent cannabis, but it's also clear that the vast majority of even heavy users quit by age 30 without lasting negative effects and recreational legalization didn't materially increase use. |

Date: May 24th, 2024 4:18 PM Author: fantasy-prone lavender crotch look i don't think it should be a prisonable offense. and when compared to societal costs of nicotine and alcohol, cannabis is probably less harmful. but i totally stand by "systemic and long term effects remain unknown." i don't think we have good data on how much mental illness it causes. and again, altering memory, ambition, hormones, and serotonin/dreaming, is profound--even if these don't drive mortality outcomes, they can have huge impacts on human flourishing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5531589&forum_id=2/#47688973) |
