I am always against legalize “recreational drugs”. And having strict regulations on medical use of those types of drugs.
Since our imperial leader Justin (bastard son of castro) Trudeau legalized some, it has been a cash cow to the federal coffers.
Yet, the industry grew too big and too fast and stores (“dispenser location” as I like to call them) are closing as they realize the number of drug-users was far less than they hoped for.
I also think the morons in government was hoping more people would be drugged up and not realize how badly they (the government) is screwing with… well everything.
But drug related deaths and overdoses is still going up.
And it is even affecting first responders. (I heard stories where during CPR, the first responders too went into OD or worse).
Yet, I also heard that legal recreational drug stores still only supply 2/3 of the recreational drugs people are consuming. That does not include the type of drugs that are still “illegal” but being sold by “drug dealers”.
All this has done is given the government more tax revenue, and a database of people would buy the stuff. I don’t know if it is like when you buy smokes/vapes or booze, where you just show ID if you look under 25, or if you have to provide it and they entered into their purchasing system.
