I'd be driving a Cadillac, legally carrying a switchblade, and legally keeping a suppressed pistol concealed, I woulda thought you were insane.
Then throw in the idea I'd be driving past marijuana stores, operating openly...

I probably would have laughed at you.
As for national, political, social changes ... all I can say is

….be shopping in a dispensary for CBD oil, as I did yesterday, I would have told you that is the height of stupidity. And yet not only did I buy some (for joint pain, no THC) I also bought two kinds of CBD gummys to help me sleep.

I suppose I should add that at 9:15 in the morning, the sales clerk in the shop was already tripping balls

I wish it were legal here in IN, one because it’s stupid that a plant is illegal, but two, because I would like to try some of the derivatives for my various aches and pains. Not saying I would never use it for recreational purposes, but I’m pretty happy with Rum and Whisky, and I’ve made it 46 years without trying it so why break the streak. I’m sure there are ways around it being illegal here, but if nothing else, I get drug tested for our local and honestly, I make too damned much money to screw it up by taking some pill that is ‘supposedly THC free’!
Amazingly enough…..

…..here in Washington you can buy CBD gummies and oil at the grocery store! Don’t even have to go to a dispensary.
My first visit to a dispensary was an eye opener. I was shopping for CBD oil to dose our dog before the 4th of July. It’s a small town, and I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I didn’t expect to see Grandma, or a businessman in a three piece suit. Nor did I expect to see a housewife, the construction worker was not a big surprise however, lol.
What they were buying was absolutely none of my business, but there they all were, just like it was no big deal.
Even without THC (which I am not so sure I entirely believe), if you get tested it’s probably best to not take even the supposedly “cleanest” oil.
