[QUOTE="ShaunyP26, post: 2962365, member: 42035"] 9 states have it so far. [URL]http://www.businessinsider.com/where-can-you-legally-smoke-weed-2017-1[/URL] I think most of the resistance to it from the general public is due more to habit and convention. I think a lot of people that are more culturally and religious conservative tend to still associate it with the 60's, hippies, and free love and all that. (Just a theory of mine.) I think though that if it weren't so easy to produce or replicate by any old person with the right equipment and a bit of entrepreneurial ingenuity then I think it would be legal, because then it would be easier for big pharma to monopolize it and make windfall profits. The beauty of the legal weed movement from an economic standpoint and it's almost like a hyper localized version of manufacturing instead of the usual one we've been accustomed to where prescription drugs (and other goods in general) are made far away from where they are consumed.
