I’ve been intending to revisit it once it became legal. I had been looking forward to the summer of 2018, but, oh, well. I checked out the Ontario site when it went live, and then headed to bed. But I had to pee and got up in the night to do so. Grabbed my phone, and lo, it was 12:48 a.m. BC’s site was online. And looked remarkably like Ontario’s. I’d already noted my credit card info in my phone, so I looked around, and ordered some prerolled, some loose, and some rolling papers. I’m actually quite intrigued to revisit this. I already drink alcohol, and do believe marijuana is as harmless/harmful as alcohol. I do believe it doesn’t lead to as much stupid aggression as booze does. I didn’t notice any haze over my city this morning, nor anything different from yesterday. Until I took the dog for a walk at the local university. There is now, in a nice spot, with a view to the water, a designated cannabis smoking/vaping spot. I snapped a picture, and texted a few friends. I’m mildly impatient for my mail order to arrive, but as I’ve recieved no updates on the _shipping_ yet, and rolling Canada Post strikes a possibility, I’m thinking I’ll just have to take a deep breath and wait some more. I quit smoking cigarettes, but goddamn, I miss _smoking_, so part of me is really keen on having this as a once in a while indulgence. ---

As 420 is a popular weed term, I wonder if 1017 might become popular? ---

I don’t know if it is related, but many pizza places are ‘unavailable’ on Ubereats. ---

Just a quick bump- After a little over 2 weeks I finally got an email saying my order has been processed and shipped. You have to love that government efficiency. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-what-are-you-doing-on-legalization-day-cannabis-in-canada/823013.md?page=3)
