Basically the same as cigarettes in Australia.
Legal, cheap, available, but not commercial.
Having said that, I’d be surprised if any level of legality happened in Australia in the next ten years. This is an extremely conservative country.
I also don’t share your pessimism with legalisation. It’s already tremendously easy to get a medical cannabis prescription, which is a route several of my mates have gone down. Moreover, look at the recent changes for MDMA and psilocybin therapy, in which Australia is a world leader.
I instead think the major laggard will be around roadside testing - that’s where Australia’s strict driving whilst intoxicated framework will run up against the fact that current tests will show a positive result far after any effects are gone.
Health risks need to be clearly exposed in the packaging
I've been smoking for years before that.
No problems from smoking a joint in a park and going for a bike ride has never been a problem for me.
Should Cannabis be more or less commercial than Alcohol?
Why?
Given the choice, I say anyone smoking it should have to sit in a grow tent with air scrubbers otherwise stick to edibles.
edible,concentrates, extract vapes, drinks .... All likely gonna stay in a very weird spot legal wise
THC oil vapes don't have any typical smell, at least not the ones I've tried. They are superior to smoking plants in many ways, be it health effects, strength of effect or cost. You can have edibles (I don't like how they take very long to manifest but for medicinal use they should be better by principle).
I am not against ban in public per se, but lets be consistent - cigarettes, cigars etc should be handled exactly same, with same punishments.
