I was one of the people who commented in favor of revitalizing the proposal. I've been using shop=cannabis to tag shops in Alaska where, despite the huge cost and burdensome laws regulating them, they are popping up all over. Even my small town of 5000 people, Homer, Alaska, has one shop open now and a couple more in the licensing process. This is a tag whose time has come. Some months ago I started a thread on this list about the proper way to tag marijuana grow facilities ( https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2017-March/031623.html). During that conversation, there were some who were concerned that by mapping such operations we might be exposing them to law enforcement or other nefarious efforts to raid them or shut them down.
Not to worry. Cannabis is fully legal in Alaska and many other states. I don't expect to see any of those states back down just because Attorney General Sessions thinks people who smoke marijuana are bad people. I'm guessing Sessions can't last through too many more of Trump's purges but we'll have to see how that plays out.
