In the 90’s, I made a bet that we’d get universal healthcare before marijuana legalization. I lost.

If you're in the US you haven't lost yet. Still federally illegal, so you're still breaking federal law in legal States.

It being federally illegal doesn’t really mean much. No one is going to arrest you for it. If it’s legal in your state no one is coming for you.

You cannot cross state lines with it through any means of transportation.

And if it’s legal in that state the local/state cops won’t give a shit.

Least you can smoke about your mistakes.
