1 year agoRegulation is in the Public’s Interest. Sure, you may see it as a Government revenue stream, but it has merit. Regulating industries results in:
- Better, quality products
- Preventing price fixing and monopolies
- Promoting growth and innovation without fear of competitive retaliation
- To ensure the true costs and benefits are reflected in the market
TL;DR: We wouldn’t want the marijuana mafia price fixing our weed man.
I live in CA and have family in CO, both states have legal pot growing. Here in CA you can grow as much as you want for your own consumption. That is, for yourself and your family. You just can’t sell it without regulation.
I can walk into a dispensary right now and buy as many seeds, seedlings or recreational pot/gummies/gum/brownies/drops as I want and no one will bat an eyelash.
Making it regulated federally will not change that one bit.
edit: Exact law in CA says we can grow 6 usable plants at any given time, but I’ve never heard of that being enforced unless they are arrested for something else. That’s also not, regulation, that’s just the law here:
