Oh, true, they did give out some coins (me included).

Yet another possibility (which is how... a friend of mine... uses coins) is buying weed from the dark web. That's a big use case right now.

I bought my first legal weed in California yesterday and it was a very interesting experience. I don't usually smoke but I wanted to see what the store was like. It was strictly cash only. They had several ATM's installed in the building. Security was tight for this reason. It's hard to process that it's now legal.

Is it completely legal now? Do you no longer even need a prescription?

It is completely legal now and I didn't need a prescription card. They asked me if I had a prescription card, for what reason I don't know, because I've never had one and they don't require it anymore. I think perhaps medical clients get discounts or special deals?

Probably asked so they don’t charge some kind tax or something...
