I've never heard any of my co-workers in corporate Calgary mention smoking pot, even though people talk about drinking all the time. Some of them must occasionally smoke pot. But it's kept secret. And I'm betting it will continue to be kept secret, even after pot is legalized.

So absolutely false it's hilarious. As soon as those corporate parties dwittle down to the people in their 20's and 30's, or really when the number dips below 10 people, the truth really start to comes out. I worked in investment banking for 6 years. Most people in that category are somewhere in the spectrum of everyday to at parties sometimes.

Most people who smoke pot regularly have a reliable and convenient supplier. They swing over to their buddy Terry's place once in a while, get what they need, and are on their way. No hassle or risk. And the only one who knows is Terry.

As someone who operated this way for years and now lives in Vancouver I strongly, strongly disagree. The dispensaries not only carry a variety of strains (good luck trying to find CBD bud on the street) and knowledgeable staff about the effects, they carry all sorts of healthier options for intake including disposable vaporizors, pain creams, cooking oils, honey, iced tea. They check ID every time you're in. These are only good things.
I just got back from Hawaii (North Shore) and spent the whole trip clean but wanted to have some on the deck with my dad and brothers while we watched the sunset on the last night. So I stroll into town looking for some weed. Something growing everywhere on this island. There's a pipe shop, so I go in ask the store owner. "I can't legally tell you where to get it. But'd I'd say just ask around." So i walk the beach and ask a few people who look like they might have some. "No. I wish." Literally every response everyone from teenagers to old dudes living in tents on the beach. Walk by a yard where there are some rough looking people just chilling in their front yard. I lean over the fence, "Hey, got any bud?" They look around super suspicious. I'm a pretty well dressed guy and theyre definitely on the lower end of the economic ladder. "You a cop?" I assure them multiple times no, I'm a Canadian tourist. "Okay. I know a guy he's just over there tho. $20 I'll be back in 6 minutes." He hops on his scooter. I say I'll just meet him over there. He tries to insist that He be a delivery man for me, or at least give a ride on his scooter, I still refuse and say I'll walk over to wherever he parks. He agrees and speeds away. He rolls over to the same old dudes in the tent I spoke to a few minutes before. I sit outside their little village while buddy chats with them. He comes back, "okay, $20 and I'll get it for you." "No man, I need to see some green before I show you any money." "You sure you're not a cop." "No, but I'm not stupid." He sighs goes and gets the weed finally we swap under hands and I walk away. If I was anyone else that hadn't much experience with weed and just wanted to get into the North Shore culture a bit, they would have most assuredly been robbed. And that guy definitely wouldn't have given a fat f*** if I was 12 or 70.
Tell me how this is better?
