    You already need a license to buy other substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, prescription medication, etc.

    Where? You need an ID but not a license specifically where I’m from.

      I was referring specifically to the drivers license which is used in place of the standard ID.

        Sure but the license isn’t to purchase those products. There is no licensing for them even though you typically use your license to prove your age. You can also use a passport or military ID or a standard state ID that looks exactly like a license but requires no test. A liquor license is to sell, not purchase. And for the record, I like your ideas but using something like a medical card for purchasing weed would have been a better example.

          I agree with the medical card as well, but I wouldn’t have any issues with it being done recreationally, I just think that if it is done recreationally it should still have a license associated with it.
