I was in Colorado shortly after marijuana was legalized there. A group of us went into a store called the Green Dragon, which was a chain I believe. They checked everyone's ID and there was CCTV everywhere. There was a huge choice with notes about the type of weed, CBD and THC content, and what it could help with, insomnia, anxiety etc. What was obvious is some people were making a lot of money judging by the prices they were charging - this stuff aint cheap. As well as the raw stuff they had edibles, gummie bears etc. The store owner said that they are trying to educate users about strength and possible side effects and make it a safer, more enjoyable and less haphazard experience which on the face of it seemed the right way to go. He said that the edibles contained a warning about only using one at a time because the hit you get is slower than by smoking marijuana so sometimes people think it's not working and will take several and then may end up having unpleasant side effects. One couple in our group were aging potheads and bought some to take back to New York where it was still illegal. They said they stick a few sheets of that scented paper you use in laundry into their suitcases and that would normally throw off any sniffer dogs that might be at the airport.
