So it's been a few years since weed was made legal here, and a lot of people thought there would be catastrophic changes to society once that happened, but anecdotally for me it's been crickets. I've found the changes to be mostly invisible, with virtually no casual impact on society or comportment in public whatsoever. I do know that there have been some issue with edibles but largely the benefits of the change seem to have been positive, freeing a lot of police resources and generating billions in tax revenues. I'm not sure what impact there has been on driving infractions but I assume those have likely gone up a bit. Has anyone noticed anything that has really stood out to them in the way of an in-your-face public change?
This has come up for me over the course of a conversation about legalizing and controlling other currently illicit drugs. I'm pretty comfortable with weed being legal but the new strains are so strong compared to what they used to be, and getting stronger, that it may be worrisome in the future? Should there be some kind of limit on that? I'm not sure how wild I am about legalizing other, harder drugs as well.
Full disclosure, I am not a weed user or a user of any other drugs excepting liquor, so I admit to vast degrees of ignorance on the subject, despite my exposure to a wide circle of people who are or were active users of hard core drugs. I'm curious as to what others who are more experienced or better informed may think of this.
