Who wants to wastes their coins to some weed? They could really buy it with cash only and it has nothing wrong with that.
So they are wasted when used for what they were designed?
This won't still stop the fact that many will still purchase marijuana with cryptocurrency or so and even abuse it . I know that the Canadian government want to monitor the transaction and usage of marijuana through this means but it still won't have much effect.
I hate to say it but still: if you want to monitor the usage of marijuana why then was it legalized? Its really going to be a hard task making some people obey certain regulations.
Others have also replied along those lines, which makes me wonder how many actually bothered reading the article. It doesn't even mention crypto. If anything it would make it harder for them to monitor these purchases.
