If you extend the logic displayed in this piece …
States which deign to allow its citizens to grow their own plants, may soon want to inspect home grown flowers as well.
I have never been to a legal dispensary, and most likely never will.
Unless I am unable to continue growing my own in my approaching dotage.
Even then, I only ever foresee going to a dispensary as a very last resort.

The proverbial fox watching the hen house.
Nauseating.
From article linked;
The Make It Legal Florida ballot initiative would have allowed adults 21 or older to purchase and possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana. But it also would ban Florida residents from growing their own marijuana plants at home. Instead, Floridians would have to rely on major marijuana players, such as Surterra and MedMen — the companies behind Make It Legal Florida — to purchase their goods…
Should Make It Legal Florida’s initiative have made it on the ballot in 2020, it would have given the state’s powerful medical marijuana companies more influence. They would have had a larger monopoly than they already possess over Florida residents seeking cannabis. For now, Florida voters will have to wait another two years to decide if that’s what they really want.

LOL, And, the study was in Boston, which I’d suggest, has some of the worst and most unpredictable drivers in the country. High or not.
Hmm,
Apparently none of the participants made any illegal turns.
Which implies they used turn signals. A rare occurrence around these parts. Something is amiss…

Yes.
Hahaha,
Boston metro area has many rotaries which seem to befuddle lots of drivers.
It is easier to drive in NYC.

Prohibition taught society to be cautious about bans. It is deceptively simple to criminalize a hazardous activity. But bans can create unforeseen social and political risks. The public does not support a government that tells individuals what they can or cannot do for their health. Yet government’s greatest responsibility is to safeguard the public’s health. It can do that through a well-regulated society—that is, with evidence-based interventions to “nudge” the public to adopt healthier and safer behaviors.

Here’s what I think is one of the more compelling reasons to unshackle home Overgrowers
From editorial below;
Among the arguments favoring the grow-your-own legislation:
It would allow those growing cannabis for their own use to know for certain what went into the marijuana. The recent scare over vaping products — especially regarding vaping liquids containing THC derived from cannabis — is now believed to have been caused by the addition of a vitamin E oil that was causing a pneumonia-like illness for hundreds of users nationwide.

Among the objections raised to allowing adults to grow their own marijuana have been concerns over increased availability to children and illegal sales.
