Does it though? We are literally watching payment processors change this in the gaming world right now.
Banning porn is literally a major part of Project 2025, as are draconian drug laws.
Yeah, but it’s highly regulated where it is legal, which is what they’re trying to do with gaming and porn right now. Thing is, weed has got a lot better and cheaper once we started regulating it. So we like that.
They can’t use the whole “threat to children” to get their way with their agenda. The big deal now is for it to be legalized federally, so the payment processor can get on that bandwagon.
I used to pay $10 a gram for high quality wax buying black market. The cheapest I can find it in my state after legalization is $45 for .8 g mid/low grade wax.
Legalization has only enshitified Weed. Lower quality, less variety, just as illegal if your traveling or don’t have the proper bag with the official sticker yada yada..
I hear where you’re coming from, but, as I mentioned, a lot of it currently depends on how things are run locally. If there was a nationalized market after federal legalization, it would be a hell of a lot better. For everyone.
For example, your prices, wherever you are, or not the same price as I pay here in Florida. Which is only a medical state, not a recreationally legal state. But I pay a fraction of those prices. Or I would, if I was into wax. I prefer flour, but that’s the point. That’s also cheaper here.
And with a national market, prices everywhere would stabilize. You’d probably pay a lot less, while I might end up paying a tiny bit more. Hyperlocalized economies fluctuate wildly.
Yeah legalizing it is totally on Republican's agendas, and not... *checks notes... Instituting a Christian Theocracy with Trump as king.
They're literally busy trying to rig the 2026 midterms with gerrymandering. Get real.
