There was an armed robbery at one of the 3 new private pot shops in Vancouver on the weekend. One customer was shot! (he'll be okay). Obviously these places really need to invest in security measures... pisses me off though - we don't want these places to be like those jewelry pawn shops with the cages inside the doors.

By the way, before legalization, there was a real nice dispensary down the road from me...reasonable prices. They are proof that the government shouldn't be involved. If they can open a store and keep it stocked, why can't the government stores do the same?Post edited by Meltdown99 onGive Peas A Chance…0 -
'Greed' fueled Insys founder's opioid bribe scheme: prosecutor

Aren't opiods great. I bet they spent decades in a lab before lazy government apporoves a drug that is killing thousands weekly. You know what has been barely tested in a lab for decades, Cannabis...and people are not dropping dead from it, and there are 1000's of people who know the benefit to this weed. Yet the US federal government keeps it illegal, because scum like this has likely lobbied a bunch of puke politicians to keep cannabis banned.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

Meltdown99 said:Legalizing medical marijuana gets strong 'no' from SC Attny General, infuriating advocates

“It is the most dangerous drug because it is the most misunderstood drug,” Wilson said.
“Attorney General Alan Wilson stood up at that press conference and said things like ‘doped and stoned’ don’t apply to medicine. Well, he’s obviously never seen people that are doped up on opioids because that’s exactly what they are.”
Another fucking idiot politician...American politicians are some corrupt ass backward politicians on the planet...

The business of legal pot is a clanking, wheezing, government-created Rube Goldberg machine: Neil Macdonald
https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/cannabis-shortages-1.4997903?fbclid=IwAR3mDMKLxQVk3LAEUIjv3VXXCIehAbaDY0I9KHluOFBn1-ZZivnzlCjo30cI know a pot dealer in Montreal. He's been dealing weed and hash for decades. He's an efficient capitalist; he guarantees customer satisfaction. Quality product and fast, free delivery. He's never been busted, either, to my knowledge, which I guess makes him a pretty smart dealer.
In any case, you'd think with legalization, and all the new competition he's facing, he'd be a worried fellow. Well, he's not.
"Are you nuts?" he laughs. "It's the government."

I doubt he'll be in the same spot 3 years from now.

In Ontario, if you are not a medicinal user, the only place for legal weed is online...so I kept my medicinal licence, and when I saw how fucked up Ontario is currently I renewed 6 months early...my dr is 75 and has no problem with cannabis. So not all old people are dinosaurs...lol
He does not like opioids and has a very strict opioid policy. You violate his policy, no questions asked he will fire his patients.
It is true what Neil said in the article. I googled weed and my area, a whole page pop up of dealers guaranteeing 2-hour free delivery. That was a month ago.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
California proposes slashing pot taxes to help regulated industry compete with black market
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/28/calif-bill-introduced-to-slash-pot-taxes-as-legal-industry-struggles.html
If they want to compete with Black Market they should allow Grub Hub delivery.0 -
Some of the dispensaries here have done away with taxes (ie, eat them) altogether, and a couple are absorbing the 15% tax. I limit myself to those places for delivery, plus they're reputable and reliable.
One could buy a shitload of cannabis with the amount spent on taxes.

What a funny country. A little less than half of Americans (those who voted anyway) wanted Trump for president and he became president. At the same time, two out of three Americans are in favor of legalized pot and yet pot still remains illegal at the federal level.We are a very funny country indeed!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I had a doctor tell me one time he would getting anywhere 6-10 patients a week who would come in because they saw some pharmaceutical advertised for symptoms they may or may not have. 99% of the time it was an unnecessary visit. I suggested to him that maybe the Ontario government sue the pharmaceutical industry since we have a public disease management system and this seemed like the pharmaceutical industry was complicit. His response was priceless, he said: "they have lobbied the government well enough that the government would shield them from lawsuits". It's bullshit.Give Peas A Chance…0

Erry day since 2005, but not Snoop style.
I always get a buzz, but I rarely get stoned.

I'm a heavy user - smoke/vape along with tinctures multiple times daily. Edibles definitely get me high, but generally not in a productive sense. Great for relaxation though.0

lastexitlondon said:How many of you guys smoke every day? And how long have you been doing so?I probably smoke every day or almost every day, but it is only a TINY amount each day. Like literally a pinch or two of it - perhaps 6 or 7 small puffs for the day, always at night time. I probably smoke about 1 gram/month or so? Maybe 1.5 grams at most? I guess I've been doing this for about 5 years or so. Before that, I didn't have such easy access (about 5 years ago is when I got my medical card). So before then I often didn't have any because I didn't want to find dealers - it was more of an on and off thing (I had no medical need for it back then either). The last time before that when I had easy access and smoked a LOT was in university, when every other friend and half my roommates sold weed, lol. Seriously, in the 90s, I would say that a good 20% of the population under 25 was selling.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
