In Canada, nothing has really changed. Everyone who smoked pot before still does. Most people who didn't still don't.
We just aren't wasting any more effort policing something no one cares about.
- eli 8y agoHasn't it been like 5 days? Seems a little soon to draw conclusions
- mabbo 8y agoThere were some very dire predictions. ... But you are still correct.
- lazerpants 8y agoIt has been my experience in Colorado that a lot of additional people will try or occasionally use cannabis over time after legalization. First it becomes normal to try it, people realize it's not that big of deal, they become occasional users. Also, there's a big barrier to entry when you have to find a dealer to buy illegal drugs from, it's just not worth it for most casual users to maintain the relationship in order to use infrequently. I'm pro-legalization though. I don't think more people occasionally using cannabis is a big deal.
- sample2 8y agoThis is exactly my experience in Oregon. There are of course still people who don't partake at all, but I know plenty of non smokers who have now become occasional users. Having said that, they seem to use it in place of alcohol. Seems like a wash, if not a net positive to me.
