Naw, I want real legalization like in Canada (BC in particular). Flying domestically with cannabis is a legally protected right in Canada. And public consumption is permitted anywhere tobacco use is. None of this 'in the privacy of your own home' bullshit that makes it impossible for tourists to technically consume legally.

Maybe in time Las Vegas will have a well labelled designated cannabis smoking area right at the airport terminal like they have in Vancouver. And like, come on, it's Vegas...of all the places that should be able to pull something like that off in the USA, you'd think it would be Vegas.

This is so important. I live in WA state USA. You can't legally smoke cannabis outside. It continues to make cannabis consumption illegal for many people.

I completely agree with you. However in Europe both existing and planned regulations that I am aware of are far away from that. You won’t find a dispensary offering similar selections like in the US anywhere, not even in Amsterdam. The overdue regulation update mentioned in the post won’t change that unfortunately.
