Don't be hatin' on a necro post you puritanical natterers.

A recent trip had me going from a medical marijuana state (GA) to a legalized state (MI) and then to a Federally illegal but decriminalized district (DC). In Georgia I noticed no difference in how things used to be and how they are now based on medical marijuana. In Michigan, where I grew up, there are pot stores everywhere with advertisements galore and obviously smelling it while walking down some city streets. In DC I didn't notice pot at all or any more than I normally would I think.

So my question is does anyone who lives in a decriminalized state notice marijuana becoming more prevalent in every day life?

FWIW I haven't looked into any research about what decrimininalization vs legalization vs status quo has done societally.
