Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?

If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?

    Background: I haven’t used weed in decades, I have no personal interest in its legal status.

    I can’t think of a single bad thing that has happened. People are more open about smoking, you can smell it in the street sometimes. I live in a tourist destination, there are ads everywhere for dispensaries. I assume getting high is at least part of the attraction for visitors.

    Also, I assume it has had a negative effect on illegal drugs - why bother? - but I wouldn’t know anyway.

    Yes, I supported it at the time, have not changed my view.
