There are many ways but not all are the same.

Imagine if there was widespread recreational use of MDMA. Just imagine!

The question is whether there might, over time, be some sort of slippery-slope effect. Have there been examples in the past (of medicinal use leading to widespread recreational use)? Is there a way for legislation to prevent that?

Opium was first used recreationaly, then medicinally, then was made illegal recreationaly.

Marijuana always recreationaly

Cocaine was in the first brew of coca cola.

All of these are plant derived and were discovered and cultivated by people over centuries for the express purpose of altering their own consciousness.

Alcohol has been around as long as recorded history. everywhere man has spread, except potentially the Australian Aboriginals, they've discovered/developed a way to get messed up using local produce.

Nowdays, it's pseudo science done by people who did yr 10 chemistry making shit that's cut with toxic fillers.

History tells us people have always wanted a form of release, how we manage that going forward is the question.

Heroin and cocaine both were used medicinally.

What would a "normal" dose be? Is this cheap or expensive? And what is CBD?

Canada legalises recreational cannabis use

Canada's parliament has passed a law legalising the recreational use of marijuana nationwide.

The Cannabis Act passed its final hurdle on Tuesday in a 52-29 vote in the Senate. The bill controls and regulates how the drug can be grown, distributed, and sold.

Canadians will be able to buy and consume cannabis legally as early as this September

$14/g does seem rather cheap then, if it can give four doses. I wonder how much legality affects the price, and whether this itself can encourage use.

That price in your post is $US?
If so, that's comparitive to what we pay in $AUS on the black market.

"Encourage use" ?
I don't think pot being illegal discourages use, so legalization will, IMO, have minimal, if any effect on who will and who won't choose to smoke it.

Getting a smoke is as easy as buying a beer... no, it's easier, alcohol outlets opening hours are regulated.

You are curious about how much legality affects the price and whether this itself can encourage use.

Yes, I assume US dollars. The question about "encouraging use" was the economic one --- whether it's getting cheaper, like beer in comparison with fine wine.
