Reminder that until recently, most cannabis patients relied on smugglers to treat their illnesses.

I disagree. I’m fine with millions of recreational users supporting smugglers so that a single patient can get the medicine they need. It was the black market the safeguarded this plant for generations until we came to our senses again.
reminder that cannabis has been distributed quite successfully and broadly for hundreds if not thousands of years, all without blockchain.
blockchain is the solution to exactly nothing. zero things are better with blockchain. zero. in the case of hiding cannabis use, the problem is that it is illegal despite having valid medicinal uses.

It wasn’t widely distributed over the internet until Bitcoin. Bitcoin solved the problem of irreversible payments over a communications channel without an intermediary.
