Canada legalises....vague unhelpful thread titles

Right so rather than dealing with the issues that lead to people using cannabis. Pick the easier option and just legalise it.

Let's ignore the social and health repucussions. Ok then.

People are going to take it anyway, better it's legal and the quality, strength and price are controlled/taxed.

It would be like buying cheap 90% moonshine of questionable quality compared to some spirits or a pack of beer from your local Supermarket, neither is healthy but it's obvious which does the most damage to you. .
 
To be fair, I don't know the wording of the Canadian law, but rather that "legalized and taxed", I'd rather see "decriminalized" so that people can just grow their own without having to pay the government for it. That's just my 2p and I realize that I'm probably wrong.
 
Ambiguous thread title and some other recent posts that have had to be moderated.
The thread title seemed obvious to me? Maybe you should take moderation to private message if you have a problem with him, or update the thread title - you know, do something useful instead of derailing a thread? :D

Nah that seems far too sensible for GD ;)
 
10% addiction rate. Dependence.

Schizophrenia. Depression. Respiratory problems. Cognitive decline. Made up right?

I'm not necessarily disputing the above, but if you compare the health affects to that of Alcohol...

And then if you compare legality, look what happened during prohibition...

Yes propaganda

People smoke cannabis to relive asthma, you can also get uplifting strains of cannabis that get used for depression

Like I say you are just very uneducated on cannabis and belive all the trash papers like the daily mail print
 
There is so much BS on both sides. Tons of research for and against its use in medicine simply because there is so much money in it.

Fact is, medicinal use shouldn't come into legalization. Plenty of illegal and controlled drugs are available for medicinal use. If we are talking about legalization then we should be debating and talking about the logistics of its sales, distribution and control.
 
There are loads of health benefits from cannabinoids but also issues of addiction. While allegedly not a physical one like with heroine but very real mental ones. I have a friend who smokes a couple of ounces a month. Spends about a third of his wages on it. That is most definitely a problem. He can't spend an evening without a smoke.

Indeed, though there are many things can be used as a vice to fall to, gambling, alcohol, shopping, stalking Maccy, eating etc. I'm sure in most of these cases there are underlying issues that need to be solved.

It’s legal in the same way alcohol is legal, and being administered by the same government departments (although I believe it depends on province). Depending on where you are you can either buy it in government run stores (in those provinces alcohol is the same) or licenced private shops. You can also grow several plants (again may be province dependant) for personal use.

There are drug driving laws in place (although they still seem to be a bit up in the air about specifically how to test it) and currently an advertising campaign about drug driving and the limits (apparently don't drive for 5 hours after partaking). There are also different regulations regarding where you can do it, some provinces are saying the same as normal smoking and vaping, some are stating only private property.

It’ll be interesting to see how it goes, it’s starting off slow, with only a few dispensaries currently licenced in each province but there’s a lot of interest in starting shops/dispensaries so presumably licenced will be coming thick and fast in the near future.

There still seems to be a lot of confusion/disorganization from various places about just how to deal with it, although most larger companies/government organisations have rules in place - some more strict than others, everything from just not being high/not for 24 hours, to not for 28 days (basically, none in your system at all).

There’s now a load of places advertising “grow rooms” you can install as a room in your house (sealed 8x10 rooms with fans and lights, for growing your own)!:p

What on earth are you on about? You clearly have no idea what cannabis is.

The only social and health "repercussions" of cannabis are positive. It's one of the oldest most effective medicines in the world and it's healing properties date back centuries. Also socially it brings everyone together if everyone on planet earth was a top stoner there would be world peace.


Also schizophreniac haha you think the herb is the cause of this? Or do you not understand how schizophreniacs may be drawn to drugs before they become schizo lol.

Also depression and cognitive decline haha. Cannabis openes the mind and helps you think deep, clear and right. It also helps people with depression!


Cannabis is only illegal because it unites and calms people. This goes against the prime agenda of divide and rule.

Nothing you can do to change the mind of some people, they are too ignorant and narrow minded to believe anything else
