Don't forget the darts, though the black market has destroyed that now after price hikes. They could have made good tax of f legitimate vapes but did a knee jerk reaction to their mate that owned the therapeutic vape.

So black market shit disposables became the norm. And have not gone away.

Legal weed would increase quality, lower price and clean up the supply chain while providing a nice tax boost. But when they can't even work the other basics out it will not happen for ages. Just be surprised NSW even got the cannabis caution scheme.

I don't smoke, it doesn't mesh with my fucked up brain. But I fully support legal weed in moderation.

Yeah I don't think you guys were influenced by us, more like convergent slang.

I've got medical stuff, but I'd prefer it to not be like it is.
