According to various reports I’ve read over the years, New England states (New York, MA etc) for years had been quietly moving toward a decriminalization model, particularly NYC. I remember a NPR segment (“all things considered” maybe?) about weed delivery services operating in NYC like 15+ years ago. These seemed to mainly be known illicit businesses that were mainly ignored by leo because it was not out in the open and not a priority. Places that clearly were professional organized with frequent shopper rewards, BOGO specials and such. I would not really have wanted to be on a weed delivery company’s frequent shopper database myself but seems like there’s been scarier data breeches with places like Target and such over the years.
Nice to be having actual legalization though.
