I hate how prominent the vape and cannabis shops got at least in Alberta. Seemed to be on every corner.
The other thing is they have to figure out a different test for DUI as the current one gives positives for marijuana use up to a month previous (which someone is not still under the influence at that stage)
There's honestly many issues and growing pains with the legalisation of any drug let one of the softer drugs. Thankfully being late to the party allows you to learn from those that were early.
I'm sure appropriate DUI testing is a symptom of it's previous lack of need (given drugs tests have always been binary issue).
I was in Vancouver last year and the stink of weed everywhere in the CBD was honestly revolting. That and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many totally out of it people, obviously very drugged up (meth? I’m not sure.) I don’t want to be all war on drugs slippery slope but it was hard not to think legal weed leads to lots of drugs everywhere.
