you certainly make an excellent point here, however, do you suppose people who would be too scared to buy underground would even want to have anything to do with weed?
well it depends. When I say “scared,” I’m really implying the paranoia that comes with purchasing marijuana. You get use to it after a while I guess, but it’s the uncomfortable feeling you get when you know your doing something that isn’t legal. Kind of the same feeling you get when you are speeding and you pass by a cop and look back behind you to see if he’s following you. The transaction is probably the greatest risk because the chance of getting busted is highest (just a hunch, no evidence). That paranoia will definitely be lifted once weed can be legally purchased. Some of the people that were truly “too scared” will try to buy it if it’s legalized. People that buy it now will continue too and some people that don’t, won’t. Either way is fine, it’s just a matter of choice.
