Well, the risk you take is getting your joint or whatever you buy from guy in bodega or in park laced with K2 or who knows what. A big selling point to the gov't officials who voted to make it legal was that it would take that out of the equation - people getting sick, going to hospitals, or dying from laced weed. Which, as someone who works in a hosp, DOES happen. And it isn't pretty. But people have been getting weed on the streets forever so it won't fully stop. It will also still be cheaper so there's that. But making it safer was a big piece of this and I do like that aspect of it. Question for everyone is - how much is knowing what you're putting into your body actually worth?
