Great thread, and I'll be following. Background: Wife and I moved to CO 2 years ago for (my, non-weed) startup job prospect. She is now a badged retail dispensary worker and I just, as of 5pm, finished my first week at a new job, as a systems engineer for a cannabis ERP company (inventory, tracking, so on). I had a long chat with the company big wheels after Trump got elected. Their vibe is "Full steam ahead. Those assholes love money and they will not touch state legalization or up federal enforcement" Based on their confidence, i took the job. Big risk having a 100% weed-funded household, but also a lot of excitement and potential. If there's a bubble, I got in on the good side of it. Theory is that if they do anything, fed legalization + a federal tax on top so they get their slice of the pie. My super cynical take: They don't need illegal weed probable cause to detain/shoot minorities any more, so we're over the hump. Will be hanging out in here for sure, thanks!

Seeing cannabis products be used effectively instead of opiates for palliative care and such may swing some people, hopefully; IIRC Ireland's had a bit of a heroin explosion lately.

Not to derail off our favorite plant, but people have discerned a sea change in the tone of opiate arguments, now that white middle and upper-middle class people are fragging out their entire families with opiate abuse. Huge wave of "Are we treating addicts properly?" " A bit of compassion for Fentanyl addicts" articles and things like that. I think awareness might be up, though for of course self-centered, racist reasons.

All subsidized housing and most lower income housing in general has no-grow lease clauses. There's still a bit of class divide there.

Eviction i'm sure is the beginning of the penalty. And once you have that on your rental record you aren't renting anything any time soon. You can't just grow weed in your house and sell it. You have to enter the grow/supplier/dispensary pipeline, register with the state, pay excise taxes, have registered dispensaries that buy/resell your product, document your plants and output from seed to sale to the 10th of a gram (this is what my company provides software for), ensure it's in a facility not easily broken into, etc. Colorado, at least, is a tight ship.
