2. Anyone who wants to buy recreational weed will have to be 21 or older. It will likely be handled similarly to alcohol. DUI vigilance may increase at first, so we will all have to be careful not let DUI’s increase. Stay home, order Domino’s, behave. 3. We don’t know who will be selling RMJ, but it makes sense that dispensaries will have it. Will RMJ be as potent as MMJ? We aren’t sure yet.
Marijuana are NOT going to be the same. Recreational users will not be treated with the same care as Medical users. There will be fines and tickets for violations like smoking in public, growing weed in an unlocked area or carrying excessive amounts around. Given how these were jailable offenses just last year, it’s a good start.
