Justin Trudeau says marijuana should be legalized

[Zevo]

Right now in Nanaimo I can get good medical grade (several different strains) for 10-12 dollars a gram at one dispensary, 12-15 at another. Also get a deal on 1/8 and a 1/4( 3.5 grams for 30$ and 7 grams for 60). This is all tax in as well so I would imagine once totally legal prices would be very competitive.

I also do not think there will be as much smoking as people think since legalization means things like edibles and oils become more available. I know I would rather be able to use a THC/CBD infused oil that I know the concentration/potency of than smoke or vape it as it would be much more convenient, subtle and smell less. Well at least I think I know that, I just got a prescription for medical marijuana on Thursday, so I haven't gotten to do anything yet and have never consumed marijuana before. This admission is funny because my parents have smoked the stuff for as long as I can remember, but I still have never used it in 31 years.

That is what I meant . Users witj a license will be excempt but to the average Joe it will most likely receive a fine without proper documentation.


Just fyi the Oils are not infused. The oil is extracted from the Plant. Infusion implies it is an outside source of oil. An example of "Infused oils" would be using coconut, olive and various nut oils that you would braise marijauna in. Thc is fat solulible but not water solulible.
Which is why butter is the most used source. It is high in fat and will disolve more crystals and oil.
They are great on salads and popcorn.

regarding eating edibles/smoking/ vaping.

The variations offer different experiences. I dont believe there will be less smoking. Smoking and vaping have shorter effects generally.

that I know the concentration/potency of than smoke or vape it as it would be much more convenient

This is true aswell when you buy just buds. Hjen you buy marijauna whether it be buds or oil you will know the potency .

This is an example how they are displayed PROPERLY.




Reputable dispensarys spend 10s of thousands on good machines to test a sellers product before purchasing it. Without knowing the buds chemical makeup first you can not determine the edibles amount.

Disclaimer......


They reason I do provide so much detail in posts is to provide the public with as much info as I can to show that pot is not the evil it has been made out to be in the last 100 years. The more you can provide to others that are not as aware of how marijauna can be used responsibly and for those that suffer from illnesses the issue can never be addressed in a mature informative way.


I have been a Medical user for over a decade, a previous cultivator ( approved by Health Canada) and have and recently been involved in many legal medical dispenserys approved by health canada for yhe sale of medicinal marijuana . I have been lucky enough to have help many people ranging from 13 to 90 who have never had first hand experience with marijuana.

Watched little old ladies walk right on by debauchery without a care. There's even nudity in the papers, nobody thinks anything of it. One German told me that's just the way of life, alcohol and sex have been around for millenia and they don't even notice it's there until you point it out. Funny how a lot of the social reservations north Americans have are fabricated for an overly sensitive society.

There appears to be no liqour laws but that is because that is the liqour laws. As long as you are not out of hand with your drinking and don't cause a public disturbance you are within the law. The minute you do step out of the confines of those laws tho you do face the consequences.

I have friends and family from Germany that visit me here that are absolutely blown away about the relaxed enforcement of personal amounts of marijauna and its' use (comparatively to many European and Asian countries) . They can not beleive we are so relaxed on marijauna use but you can not have a beer walking down the street. I tell them that that is how I feel when I have been to their homes.

Why should there be a law against drinking in public as long as you are being responsible? People need to start thinking for themselves instead of expecting some law to be written telling what they should or should not do.

This is the main kicker of your sentence. Drinking, public and responsibility rarely go well together (so far, this may change in the future)

[Azure]

Says who? Obviously if someone is getting hammered in public and being an idiot about it that shouldn't be allowed, but I don't see why its a problem if someone is walking down the street drinking a beer.

What are, children?

The few always ruin it for the many.

Don't most laws already address the actions that result in being drunk in public? Anything that stems from being obnoxiously under the influence have been taken care of. An offence for simply consuming alcohol or drugs in public is just superfluous, especially if there is no wrong-doing resulting from it.

Some of these yours are not like the others. Way too many yours, dude.

It's much easier to enforce open liquor than public drunkeness.

Also open liquor laws are rarely enforced when people are responsible. I think we should just start drinking beer in the mall see how it goes. Put it in a cozy and have at it. I doubt if your responsible anyone even notices

OTTAWA | As Canada’s newly elected Liberal government is on the verge of legalizing marijuana, thousands of Hells Angels members have taken the Parliament by storm yesterday to protest the new proposition.

The legalization of marijuana could cost the organized crime hundreds of thousands of jobs, believes the spokesman for the Canadian chapter of the Hells Angels, Jean-Roch Fournier.

“We estimate that Prime minister Justin Trudeau’s radical proposition to legalize marijuana could cost us over a hundred thousand jobs” says the former lawyer. “From growing operations, to trimming, packaging, transportation and selling, this new legislature will threaten the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Canadian workers” he warns.

Funny.

More fake news?

[Azure]

Well it would obviously affect them considering they are major pot dealers.

All the more reason to legalize it.

[corporatejay]

So this will take effect on April 20th, right?

I know you're joking, but that would be the worst thing ever. Worst. Ever

Re: Second hand smoke getting you high.. Think of Poor Mr Phelps! Victim of circumstance for sure.
I used to smoke heavily - 2g a day Id say. 6-7 years ago I slowed down to the point sometimes ol smoke twice a week, sometimes not for a year. Same as alcohol I guess.. Tbing is, I still semi-regularly hang with friends who continue to smoke at least as much as I used to, and I've never felt remotely affected by it - and my toleranxe is extremely low. Generally 1-2 tokes and im set.


Witbout insulting anyone's intelligence, the concern over a teacher smoking around students and either a) being a bad influence or b) getting them high..
Wut?

Are teachers even allowed to use the same designated smoking areas as students (assuming students still have designated smoking areas).. Thing is, that compares THC to tobacco Moreso than alcohol, but the concern was also that students would get high.

Something tells me that a teacher that's getting wasted, in any form, around students won't be stopped by some silly law.

Interesting article: Colorado officials have advice on legalizing marijuana for Justin Trudeau

A Colorado official has some sobering words of advice for Justin Trudeau if he fulfils his promise to legalize pot in Canada.

"It's going to be a lot harder to implement than you think. It's going to take a lot longer to do it. And it's going to cost more than you think," said Lewis Koski, director of the state's Marijuana Enforcement Division.

I am 100% for legalization, but I buy this quote.

There is no rush, lets do it slow and right, study how each state did it and implement their lessons learned.
