Well for one I now have access to cannabis oil that helps me relieve anxiety and sleep as lot better. So personally it's great.
Where it's not so great is where governments have been too restrictive and people had to circumvent these restrictions. For things like growing it at home or edibles in Quebec for example.
My partner gets 20 mg gummie from the black market that work amazing for her for sleep. 100 gummie for $100. Can't get gummie for that price, or with that dosage from the gov't, so she'll never buy from them.
I understand the issues with edibles and kids, but the gov't isn't going to win this so they may as well figure out how to move forward if they want to make an actual dent in the black market.
Just make the packaging look like it's medication with a big scary warning sign on it. And make the gummies a boring color. It's as simple as that.
And if the dosage is too high, simply reduce it by half. Let people take two if they need to.
The take two thought peocess is probably what caused some of the mess.
Oh, well just keep it low so there's less risk to kids, but now we gotta eat a whole damn chocolate bar if we want it in chocolate bar form.
If we can't get the dosage we want in the size and form factor we want, people will just keep getting it on the black market rather than gorge themselves unnecessarily
