MemberSeptember 4, 2020 at 3:46 pm in reply to: What are the challenges facing youth with the legalization of cannabis?One of the things that stood out to me is that it is illegal to have ‘open’ cannabis in a vehicle (i.e., the same logic as ‘open container’ liquor laws). If you’re transporting cannabis and it’s not in the trunk, it must be sealed AND in its original packaging. I found this especially interesting considering dried cannabis cannot be readily consumed… I’m curious how many people (not just youth) are aware of this particular law.
