      and they were right. they grew up in an era where cannabis was completely illegal at all levels and the cultural push was to increase penalties. Now it’s legal in some form in the majority of states with others getting on board pretty quickly and the push as the federal level is to deregulate entirely and leave it up to the states. I think it will be legal for adults everywhere in the US at the state and federal levels in our lifetimes.

      That’s a good story. But it’s true that things are improving, right? Canada is now fully legalized and about half of the US states are legal-ish. Mexico will get there since their Supreme Court said the ban is illegal.
