Definitely appreciate that this seems to be heading in the right direction.

> limited retail sales transactions at the state level to 10 ounces of cannabis at a time

What's the intent of a rule like that? Prevent one 21 year old from buying a pound for his under-21 friends? I feel like alcohol has proven that this is pretty futile. Is there some other point?

Ten ounces is a lot of marijuana. For reference, one ounce typically costs $200-300, and is enough to roll roughly 50 joints. If you were buying for friends, even one or two ounces would be more than enough.

If you're buying more than ten ounces of marijuana at a time, you're buying it for resale. Even a heavy user would have a hard time justifying that large of a purchase.

I always assumed those were dividing lines that let rando citizens do their thing without trouble ... and a way to identify potental illegal traffickers.

Despite being legal, illegal pot I believe is still cheaper / in demand in places.

My guess would be that the intent is to put a roadblock in the way of anyone trying to make an illegal secondary market.
