new issue.

"it's legal to smoke but not to buy so where are people gonna get it". Well, for one, News Flash: People have been smoking pot for decades in this country, legal or no. It's coming from somewhere.

Also, this is not a bug but a feature of these recreational laws. It takes time to get the regulatory apparatus up and running, but all the states which passed it in previous years have managed to do so in a timely fashion- some more than others, depending on how respectively recalcitrant their state governments were on the matter.
