The problem with bans is as I'm currently experiencing with the mass dispensary shut down in Vancouver over the last few weeks, they don't stop dedicated people, they just push you to sketchier, less reliable and more questionable options.

> they don't stop dedicated people,

Ah, I wasn't addicted, I was dedicated. It all makes sense now.

So, the old ladies I'd see walking up the ramps with their walkers asking for CBD tablets and bath soaps were addicted? The quadriplegics and cancer patients I'd regularly see at the dispensery I used to go to were addicts? There are no more affordable places for actual medical patients to acquire their medicine. Personally, I like it for my back pain and it helps me sleep at night. I've worked a lot of physical jobs over the years. I'm in pain most days. Smoking weed genuinely helps with this.

Those aren't the only people looking for product. I didn't mean to cause any offense, just that there is a growing addiction problem with marijuana that people for the most part gloss over. But /r/leaves is one of the fastest growing subreddits for a reason.
