    Here in Australia they do random roadside drug tests for cannabis and other drug using saliva devices. 4 hours seems too soon. I would have thought 24 hours to be okay to drive.
    Random roadside saliva tests? Wtf is going on down under? I read they are becoming a nanny state, but that's just ridiculous 
    It sounds like the same concept as DUI checkpoints.

    In Clash Between California and Trump, It’s One America Versus Another



    When drivers entered California recently from the borders with Arizona and Nevada, they were greeted with signs welcoming them to an “official sanctuary state” that is home to “felons” and “illegals.” It was a prank, but the message was clear: By entering California, they might as well have been entering foreign territory.

    A friend forwarded me this excellent article on Sativa and Indica strains.  Worth the read!

    Never tried weed but if I did, it'd be sativa!

    Legalization is coming to Canada in July, maybe August, more than likely the fall...

    i myself dont care care either way if it’s legal ... I would never give up my medicinal prescription to participate in our governments poor attempt at legalization.  The government could/should have decriminalized long ago...the price per gram sounds like it’ll be 10/gram plus tax and we pay tax on medicinal as well, crooked government, the dealers will still be in business and will continue to thrive.

    Yes, legal in the entire country recreationally. How that is delivered varies provincially. 

    And, poor attempt, meltdown? One of the first counties in the world to bite this bullet and it’s a poor attempt? It’s not as easy as you seem to think it is and I personally am really pleased they’re pushing through. And of course it’s getting taxed. It would be pretty naive to think it wasn’t going to be taxed. That’s one of the motivators for government to get it done.

    Amazing!

    Here in California, not all dispensaries are open for recreational.  None here in El Dorado county.  I have to go down to Sacramento for that.  And how foolish of this county.  Sacramento county gets my tax dollars on recreational instead of my own county.  This place is so bassackwards.

    That said, I did get some nice goodies down in Sac.!

    In Greeley, CO they don't have any dispensaries medicinal or recreational.  But right next door is a 1 square mile town which had at least 4 recreational  and has more tax income then they know what to do with.

    Yes, in Canada only the federal government can legalize it...the best the provinnce can do is ignore the law and charge anyone.  I think in Vancouver the police pretty much ignore the law...

    It is a poor attempt ... not everyone lives in provinces that will get it right.  Ontario is going to fuck it up, trust me...

    Why not just decriminalize it in 2015?  And work toward legalization and make sure you get it right...and anyone who doesn’t get a medicinal prescription...then you can wait.  And the dealers will win, their weed will be cheaper, tax free and of quality potency...

    That’s why what Trudeau says about legalizing it will eliminate the dealer...at 10/gram the dealers will win, oh and doesTrudeau think people will drop their dealer to pay more to have to drive to a store to get their pot and pay excessive tax...many dealers even deliver...yeah right, he hasn’t a clue.

    Here 1/2 gram pre-rolls are $7 and 1 gram are $12. This includes tax. It’s cheaper just buying the weed loose, depending on the strain. I don’t inow what the word on the street is for illegal pot dealers, but I imagine there isn’t much business. The weed stores are accepted socially. For example I was just at an all ages concert where thousands of people came and went, and the mainstage was sponsored by a weed store and had a giant banner behind the band. I feel shadier going into the liquor store.

    Why not decriminalize in 2015?? What, under Harper? That makes zero sense - there was no way that Harper was ever going to do anything other than tighten pot laws. And even if that wasn’t the case, it also makes no sense to complain that it wasn’t legalized in the past when it’s being legalized now.

    I noticed that when I was in Medford a little while back.  The store was a nice experience.  The guy told med they were getting no flack and that pretty much everyone was good with the new laws. 

    Our bigger cities are getting it down nicely, maybe someday here in the smaller towns as well.

    You might not need a politician to legalize something, but nonetheless the law does. Oh well; that’s life. 
     
    And “dumbass Trudeau “ was elected at the end of October, 2015. Kind of tricky to get major legislation passed within two months.
