Dear smoker friends, it is with great pleasure that I announce to you that cannabis is finally legalized! We can finally let our joints float in the wind without fearing being caught by the patrol.

But before you jump on your bags of weed, let me give you some practical advice for this new era #newfree.

First of all, don't be too enthusiastic. There will always be rules to follow, even if cannabis is legal. For example, smoking in public places is prohibited. So, if you want to smoke a joint in the subway, wait until you're home.

Next, be aware of the side effects of legalization. Prices will increase, and some producers will certainly try to scam you. Don't settle for the first weed you come across, do your research and buy from trusted sellers.

Finally, don't forget that legalization doesn't mean everyone has to smoke. If you don't want to smoke, don't smoke. If you're allergic, don't smoke. If you don't like the smell, don't smoke. You can fully support legalization without smoking.

Now that we've outlined these points, let's talk about the benefits of legalization. First, it's a victory for individual freedom. Everyone should have the right to do what they want with their body, as long as they don't harm others.

Next, legalization will put an end to the racial injustices associated with prohibition. For years, people of color have been arrested and imprisoned for cannabis-related crimes, while white people were much less often sanctioned. This is a blatant injustice that must end.

Finally, legalization will generate revenue for the state. Cannabis taxes can be used to fund social and public health programs. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

In conclusion, cannabis legalization is excellent news for smokers. But don't forget to stay cautious and responsible. We live in a new era #newfree, but that doesn't mean everything is allowed. Enjoy this freedom, but don't abuse it.
