The only wrinkle is that I do like my legal weed; going to a store and buying a nicely packaged edible or a preroll is leagues above buying it off the street.

If you want to fit in in these cities you need to drop this American fixation with commercialisation and bubble-wrapping every experience to make it "comfortable".
The smell from making my own edibles in an apartment would probably not endear me to my neighbors, and sometimes I would rather use an edible than roll a joint.
I don't think this is about some broader cultural thing around convenience, is it? Isn't it just about legality? Some people actually depend on marijuana on a daily basis, and for those of us that do it's really annoying to have grind up, dry, decarb, cook, strain, etc. every few weeks.
