What kind of weed are you getting out west where people go bat-shit crazy when they are high, that reserved for most drunks.

Liberals lay out proposed rules for cannabis 'edibles'

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cannabis-edibles-regulations-consultation-1.4954116?fbclid=IwAR2qsYLD_3LFvs5djMrhSqcuhEAjkK4NUVFjdoN6mL1zhkh41hCL_xcFLs0

wow, awesome. i didn't know that this was even coming. i thought edibles were too unpredictable with dosage to be for sale to the public. but i admittedly don't know much aboot it. 

No, I think the commercial products are pretty exact with dosage in the unit that they are selling; the issue is more how the consumer takes them, and understanding the timeline of effect. 

A major issue is going to be packaging that doesn’t look like it’s marketing to kids, of course. 
 

everyone I know who makes cookies at home tells me it's impossible to know which cookie has which amount, so that's where my assumption came from. obviously, now that I think about it, you can control this in a controlled setting. 

I've only had edilbes twice, just this past summer, so this is all new to me. 

Home baking, sure, that would be true. A commercial/pharmaceutical grade facility can and needs to do this.

I'm excited for it!

I tried edibles last summer, I'm still on the fence.  Mine I suspect was cooked up in someone's kitchen.  I am going to order from that link.

I had cookies on two occasions from two different sources. both times: LOVED IT

See I didn't come away with that feeling.  My cousin who is a hardcore supporter of Cannabis and was involved in pro-legalization groups, told me that I may not be consuming enough.  I'm a 210-pound guy.  Would weight have anything to do with that?  I do prefer the quick high from smoking or vaping, especially before bedtime.

didn't you just LYFAO telling me i needed to do more research regarding edibles, and you posted this 5 days ago?

Yes.  I did, I have tried edibles...did not do any different than smoking.  You can go to any downtown in any city in this country at bar closing time and see many people staggering out?  So what's the difference?  Are you one of these people who think before October 17th people were not walking around stoned, all hours of the day?  Sorry, I'd rather have high people walking around than drunks...

Not to mention all the people overdoing it on their prescribed opiates behind the wheel.  What he is considering is foolish, if he wants to extend it to all mind-altering substance... 

try reading what is posted and not what you wish to argue about.

I have personally made edibles in the past that put people into states that were very different from, but equal in magnitude to serious drunkenness.
I've seen people unable to stay awake, unable to follow the simplest conversation or answer questions about the time or weather, I've seen people blunder around completely oblivious to hazards around them like traffic or a swimming pool (that was pretty funny) etc...
I think public intoxication is a bad idea no matter the substance, but my definition for nuisance intoxication is far beyond a discrete buzz.  Drink a scant few beers, burn a bowl or a J, have a little tootski...I don't care.  Just handle your shit and don't get fucked up.

It's all dangerous . That is a fact.

Neither is dangerous, a person can consume both regularly for an entire natural lifespan.

In moderation yes but alcohol is the one that's killing folks everyday and that is a fact ..

Interesting, but not surprising. I'm guessing that part of the cost increase is due to added taxes. Also, I know in most states in the US that have legalized rec usage, prices were initially higher, but once the supply chain got filled and the novelty of buying legal week wore off a bit, prices settled down. I know in WA the weed I'm buying now is no more expensive than getting it from a "guy", and I know much more about the product I'm getting. So I get consistency, tested weed, and more product information, as well as a less shady transaction. So for me, I consider it a positive. I thought the stat about avg quantity purchased was completely unsurprising. With legal weed you don't need to buy as much per transaction, because you know you can just pop into the shop whenever you want. With the black market, you bought more so you didn't have to see your "guy" as frequently.

The supply chain is definitely the issue.  The producers are no producing enough at the moment.  It's been a rocky start in most provinces.  I think it will get there, it's trial and error.  I'm sure the producers need to be cautious, I imagine they do not want to overproduce and be stuck with the product.  I kept my medicinal and buy directly off them, so far, they absorb the federal excise tax, keeps the price down...the stuff I buy off them is 3.99/g, it is for anyone who is a customer, but appeals to low-income people like myself, usually 13%-16% THC, a really nice buzz.  

Hopefully, the US federal government eventually legalizes it.  As long as alcohol and tobacco are legal, weed should be too.  Of course, weed should have never been illegal.

I think we'll need to wait a good 2 or 3 years to really see the supply and pricing settle down to what it should be. And during that time concentrates and edibles will also come in, so that will stretch it out in terms of supply too. Also, the distributor needs more time to unclench. So far all the product is done up more like medicine. I think soon enough it will get more fun, like booze is.

The first few private shops have now opened in Vancouver though. That's nice. No government stores yet, oddly.
