Cannabis should be regulated by the FDA like any other vegetable. I should be able to buy weed at the farmer’s market. Nobody says “oh you can only have two and a half ounces of kale at your house”, “oh you can only grow so many tomatoes”, “oh out of state residents can’t buy more than a 12 pack”
You can’t do that with tobacco, why allow it with cannabis?
In fairness, I think I should be able to get tobacco at the farmer’s market too. But regardless of my personal feelings, I can buy as many smokes as I want in Iowa and they’re like half the price of Illinois smokes.
There is no state in the country where tobacco isn’t age-restricted, which is what I’m focused on here. It’s incredibly normal and routine for us to restrict certain things behind being a legal adult.
Making cannabis or tobacco equivalent to zucchini would be a complete sea-change in how we think of minors and their decision-making abilities.
There’s no reason that I couldn’t check someone’s ID at my hypothetical farmer’s market stand. And the bigger ones around here have dudes that sell like microbrewed meads and shit, so you can’t tell me it’s not already happening.
No reason other than discussing in good faith, which means not moving the goalpost. You set the original hypothetical of cannabis being legally equivalent to squash, not me.
Again, you set the original goalpost of discussing legal status.
My original comment was mostly an unhinged rant lamenting the current state of legalization more than an actual policy proposal, but I do think I should be able to buy and sell cannabis at the farmer’s market.
Waaait if I am a US resident and go accross a state line im not allowed to buy a 30 pack of beer? Crossing a country border doesn’t even prevent that.
But different areas do have weird restrictions on what you can buy and when. I live in Massachusetts so am familiar with blue laws, but …
On a trip to Pennsylvania a year or two ago, I had some microbrews I really liked and wanted to stock up from the local businesses, but apparently Pennsylvania law limits me to two six packs? wtf? Maybe I’m an edge case driving through and wanting to buy some for the next several weeks or parties but wtf

amazing, the stupidity of other people.
From last time I was in Pennsylvania, the laws were the weirdest I’ve seen, though who knows, maybe other NE states are the same. You can buy six packs at bars, which I guess seems more normal now in the age of brewpubs, but if you want more than that, you have to go to a ‘beer distributor’, who only sell cases.
That’s what I’m saying, nobody does that because it would be insane. But an Iowa resident coming to Illinois can only get 15 grams of weed at a licensed adult use dispensary. Opposed to an Illinois resident who can get 30.
Really depends on what countries you’re talking about.
At the very least, you’re likely to need to pay taxes on the goods, which is part of what the state laws are about. Confederacies like the EU maybe excepted.
Sure if I take it back over the border. The scenario I had in my mind was going to see friends or taking it back to a hotel room.
I’ve lost track of what concern you had and in what scenario and why it was bad compared to what, but ok.
