It is quite common, but why should the average person try it? The price for 1 gram is around 100-150 NOK (15-23 CAD). That is fairly inexpensive. Most of the marijuana sold in Europe is produced in Marrocco. The police have busted several marijuana farms here in Norway. The country has large areas of rural land and desolated farms (not compared to Canada, of course).
There is a certain stigma attached to marijuana users here.
I do not want to be associated with these guys (the annual marijuana in Oslo):
There are "potheads" who are obsessed with it, you know the annoying hippies with dreadlocks types, and then there are people who vape regularly or daily but you would never know because they are just regular people. In Colorado especially it seems like every other person vapes including businessesmen in ties, college students, IT programmers, etc. You really have no idea who does and doesn't unless they tell you. This might be because you can walk in a store and get a gram for as little as $5 so it's not that different from buying alcohol and you don't need to "know" a certain group of people in order to get it or risk trouble with the law for doing it.
Overall legalization has been a very good thing. Now the weed is regulated and inspected and people know exactly what they are buying, instead of getting it off a guy with only one kind coming from who knows where. It's also as cheap as $5 a gram and everything is good quality, you can get cookies, THC candy, oil, concentrates, THC drinks, and all kinds of other stuff. I got a bottle of CBD oil (doesn't get you high) which has really improved my sleep, but without legalization I'd have no way to get it, unless I had cancer and could convince a doctor to give it to me.
Frankly, I think it's rather weird to compare those two drugs. Yes, the first one can make you seriously sick, but why should you glorify the other one?
I said lack of stigma, that's not the same as glorification.

Agree, it will also grant new opportunities to farmers to grow good weed and make high quality haschich, not the one that comes from Morrocco.
Farmers here are squeezed to the penny, sometimes they must dump their crops and more speciality crops are needed. Wine and olive oil are not enough. I had lots of family that were into hazelnuts, they had to quit, peaches, they had to quit, arbequina olive oil, they had to quit, chicken farms, they had to quite as you need chicken farms with over 1.000.000 to break even..and now they are into "rural tourism", not a real solution.
Now, if their peaches and artichokes are stolen now....could you imagine the kind of protection that their weed crops would need, more so taking into account that they are 3 miles away from a large city?
