I mean to be honest, the situation in Canada looks a million times better than what we have here in New Zealand.
We wouldn't be having this issue if weed was legalized, because people would have choice in what they buy and the ability to grow their own without fear of prosecution. Right now, we are already paying high prices to gangs for PGR weed - I would much rather be buying from a business that is paying taxes which support our community.
In fact, the stuff you are saying is what we hear from the people who want to keep selling us the crap PGR weed that they are growing.
The stuff you guys have access to in Canada is 10x better than what most people are sold here.
We also worry about the over regulation, stupid things like 'thc limits' etc. but it still would be a step in the right direction for us in my opinion.
Also, I don't think you will be able to come to New Zealand without a covid vaccine - we take that stuff quite seriously here lol.
