I obviously have skin in the game so my opinion may be biased, but i would be careful what you wish for in terms of legalisation.
In the states in many cases large corporations are squeezing smaller artisan growers out of the business. Once these corporations gain the majority market share inevitably (as always happens in these cases) the price goes up and the quality goes down. Not to mention the taxes the government will put on weed, which will be astronomical.
Eventually a 'grey' market is created where registered growers sell directly to customers rather than to dispensaries, which is essentially what already exists on here. The difference is that sellers on here could easily raise their prices if the 'legal' weed is hyper expensive due to taxes and corporate profits.
If you want to watch a documentary which covers this subject, along with many others, try ‘Murder Mountain’ on Netflix. It’s fantastic. There’s one particular episode that goes into detail about the legalisation process, the beurocracy and red tape that comes with it, how it negatively affects growers in Humbolt County, and eventually negatively impacts consumers.
Bottom line is nothing good ever comes from multinational businesses getting their teeth into things like cannabis, which as sure as the nose on my face they will if it becomes fully legal. Next thing you know people will be buying shitty weed from the Apple Store for £100 a gram.
Just my 2p though, I could be wrong.
