Prices are a bit steep, with an 1/8th ounce running $55-$60, but I'm sure that will even out over time.
Just glad that sparking a joint will no longer be illegal, when done in your own home.
I'm in my mid-50's and have been outside the law since my teens.
Fortunately, I was never caught!

Anecdote-
When the drinking age went to 21, I was grandfathered-in for alcohol in Wisconsin, so we'd make frequent trips to Lake Geneva to booze it up.
One one such trip, someone needed to take a leak, so we pulled into the Nippersink Canoe base/launch to TCB.
A cop quickly spotted us and rolled-up to see what we were up to. My buddy had a brass one-hitter fall from his pocket when asked for his ID.
I have no idea how the officer didn't hear it hit the gravel parking lot, but we were all quickly on our way (minus one brass 'bat').
