You are 100% right. Even though you can buy it legally, the shops still have to source it from illegal grow operations. This still makes the whole industry look bad.

Shops have to be super secret mysterious and shady about how they actually source their weed. Once you start asking about crops or where it's from, they become incredibly evasive -- I don't blame them, but it's just silly, this is a thing I can buy legally and I'm "not supposed to" ask where it's from?
