And the upcoming Canadian legislation allows for home growing of weed as well, for those who really, really object to paying taxes.josevolution said:I don’t really care for buying from dispensary as much as I like growing my own that’s all I want to be able to do grow my own , there’s so much more you get to do with a harvested plant ...my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
In what way is Europe “getting it right” with respect to marijuana laws? It’s essentially illegal in almost all European counties with the exception of Portugal, and decriminalization of small amounts in the Czech Republic.Meltdown99 said:

Millions of Americans and billions of people around the world face the threat of jail time for possessing a few grams and you are ranting and disrespecting because your country's groundbreaking legalisation isn't perfectly adherent to the intense demands of a recreational user who wants a free and unregulated market?my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -
That is just plain wrong. It would be like wanting to get counseling and being sent to an accountant. You might get some help but what are the odds. Slim! Bad on Ontario if this is how they are doing it.Meltdown99 said:
I assume your pot stores are private run ... rum by budtenders ... not a bunch over over paid government workers .... that’s what Ontario is doing, hiring a bunch of government employees who’ll have know clue what the difference strains accomplish...in Ontario specifically the government is fucking it up....I can’t speak for other province’s...but Ontario the nanny state is fiucking it up...the same jackass who fucked up Ontario is in th PMS office (Gerald Butts), the people who support Trudeau need to look at the mess Ontario is in...Go Beavers said: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.

You make some good points in some of your post but as for making friends... come on man, lighten up. This isn't a bar brawl here.Meltdown99 said:
So when reality comes to a conversation you have a perfectly non responses ... you are full of yourself....congrats...rgambs said:Meltdown indeed!

Don’t believe everything you read, Brian. Ontario's plan probably isn’t the best of the choices but that doesn’t mean what meltdown says here is true. For instance, in BC I buy my alcohol at government run liquor stores from “government employees” who are often extremely knowledgeable about what they sell. The larger stores have wine specialists, spirit specialists, etc., and they’re hired for their knowledge of the products. No reason to assume that this won’t or can’t occur with the marijuana sales, is there?brianlux said:

I've been to lots of places in Denver, obviously privately run. While it's nice to have someone explain the intricate differences of the grow method, it ain't all that important. I really don't need to know how Johnny Walker black is distilled differently than red at the end of the day. Here in Virginia, we have gov't liquor stores. If we had gov't dispensaries, I'd be happy as hell and you wouldn't hear me complain for one second.oftenreading said:

I hope for the sake of Ontarians the dispensaries do hire knowledgeable staff. Some patrons just want a buzz and pot is pot but some like a certain affect and, especially for those patrons seeking medical help with marijuana, that affect can be quite important. I'm still trying to dial in the best anti-anxiety strains.oftenreading said:

Actually, your comment(s) up there were far from respectful. I understand your anger, but that doesn't give you the right to treat someone - who made an informed, non-confrontational comment, by the way - with the dickishness presented.Meltdown99 said:
I treat others with respect...what I dont need is someone defending a dumbass politiciian who is fucking up legalization...forgive me if I don’t kiss the ass of politicicians for legalizing something that the government has no business involved in...its fucking pot...a benign fucking drug...less fucking harmful than a aspirin...hedonist said:
Whoa the fuck down. If you can't at least treat others with respect, conduct yourself with some.Meltdown99 said:
You are full of full of shit...I meant when dumbass trudeau was elected...the difference from me and you is i don’t need a politicians to legalize something that should never be illegal...I’m not here to argue...we can agree to disagree...now have a great fucking night. Your fucking useless opinion means fuck all to me...deal with it...I don’t need a bunch of useless politicians legalizing something because it’s a cash cow...oftenreading said:
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.Meltdown99 said:
It is a poor attempt ... not everyone lives in provinces that will get it right. Ontario is going to fuck it up, trust me...oftenreading said:
Yes, legal in the entire country recreationally. How that is delivered varies provincially.brianlux said:
Legal in the entire country?Meltdown99 said: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.
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.
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.
You seem to have little idea how federal and provincial politics works.
Your comments were unwarranted and harsh.
Now go sit in the corner for a spell and think about it all.
Brian, fortunately we have the benefit of technology and (hopefully reliable) word-of-mouth to educate ourselves when it comes to strains, potency, benefits, etc. Also fortunately, the 'tenders at my place know their shit over, under, sideways, down
And, as with much else in this beautiful yet fucked up life, we learn much through trial and error.0 -

Im sure pot causes anxiety. Its what ive been led to believe. And i think as a youngster it caused me lots of mental problems with paranoia and anxiety.

It can cause anxiety for some. Some people get panic attacks from pot, and some get paranoid. Some people with psychotic illnesses have worsening of their symptoms with pot use. However, many people can use weed without anxiety; it depends on the person and the strain, and sometimes the environment.lastexitlondon said:Im sure pot causes anxiety.

When I was young it made me paranoid and anxious but I'm pretty sure it was because of fear of being pinched by cops or parents. Once we started in a secure environment like first apartment, that was all gone.oftenreading said:
