Canada one step closer to marijuana legalization

[Machjo]

When it boils right down to it, probably not much as death has the potential of being the final result.

Statistically, tobacco kills half of those who use it as directed.

The other half probably just due too soon or quit in time.

Imo, recreational use of marijuana is at least as filthy, disgusting, and stupid as smoking tobacco. Don't ever expect me to say anything positive about it.

With that said, good luck with the legalization. I hope you enjoy paying more taxes.

And they should pay more taxes, smoke in the shop or at home, and keep it out of my sight or face a fine. And keep any shop that sells it out of sight too.

Anyone who really wants to buy it will find the shop, don't worry about that.

They should still be kept out if sight. Those who sell it sell death.

Let's be honest. Legality aside, what's the difference between a tobacco seller and a heroin trafficker?

But it's ok to advertise for the armed forces and invite people to get shot and bombed. It's ok to advertise a multitude of man-made prescription chemical compounds with so many bad side effects they take up 20 seconds of a 30 second commercial. Those ones are far more dangerous than pot but aren't just in the open they get prime-time TV spots.

I'm starting to think you need adult supervision to go outside.

Lay off the weed you stumbling bumblin glassy redeyed couch appendage, Someone needs to chain the frig shut when you sleeze yourself onto the premesis stoner.

LOL. Maybe if I smoked...

Rightfully so. But even a hemp, tobacco, alcohol, pornography, or even lottery-ticket shop should not be visible from the street or sidewalk as you pass by.

What else should not be visible to protect you from the horror?

Statistically speaking, life kills 100% of those who use it at all. :roll:

I still don't understand why you have this need to have everything you dislike hidden from view. I despise politicians and totally don't think they should be legal, let's keep them in some backstreet with no signs or advertising allowed. And Toyotas and Nissans, I don't like them, keep them away from me. Lets not forget about pork, that offends my religion so no more pork in the stores, into the darkness goes pork...you'll find it if you want it.

Let's look at pork. I don't eat it, it's unhealthy. But last I'd checked, it's not particularly addictive either.

Nicotine and THC are addictive, especially nicotine.

Whoosh!!!

Huh?

What? You might marinate your pork in opium latex, but that still doesn't make the pork addictive. It's opium in the pork that's addictive. You might want to contact Na.org.

Same as there is between taxes and black market pricing, next to nothing except the black market items are always more expensive than if they were legal and netting some taxes.

Flour with 5% opium powder, bread is not snorted but it makes the most relaxing sandwiches in town. An OD would take 11teen loaves/day.
There is no such thing as addiction to crisp bacon. Addictions are somethings that are out of hand, there is no upper limit when it comes to bacon. There isn't, look it up. Even if it does kill you you die smiling, . . . just sayin, . . . .

You know, I might even be open to legalizing recreational opiates even. If we can't ban it, then let's at least regulate it.

That said, same idea as other drugs. Extremely strict advertising rules. You can sell it but not promote it. You can advertise online on certain opt-in only sites, shop stays completely out of sight, allows use on premises, buyers must keep it out of the public's eyes until he'in an opium shop or on personal private property.

If you're cought promoting it (tobacco, alcohol, casinos, sexual services, heroin, all the same), the law slams down hard on you, but especially opiods.

The idea would be to make it legally availabke to those who are looking for it and no one else.

The fat in bacon can be combated by increasing your intake of vinegar (or dry wine) by the appropriate amount. That should work for T-bone steaks as well but if you need more than a magnum per meal you may have other problems. That is using hallucinogens to treat alcoholism. As far as who is in control a magic mushroom will overpower a quart of hard-stuff so at the very least there is a mood shift..

 

[Machjo]

And no giving out free samples at parties either. That constitutes promotion. Packages with warning labels, you name it.

So how about restaurants that sell booze with your meal?

I think it's a matter of "old habits die hard", but that doesn't justify getting new ones started!

That would make most things pretty much impossible for anyone not living in a city to access. Of course in the country we can grow our own pot and distill our own whiskey, all without interference from the government. But we shouldn't have to risk jail for either.

Right now the Rez should be offering 'medicines' that were available to any band that is a 'first-nations' band. Rom the far north to the tip of South America the products used in the past should be available at the medicine house that is on every Reservation. Indians are addicted to booze as soon as they take their first sip (almost) yet that came after their traditional drugs that they used seemed to be non-addictive and perhaps that was a form of protection from getting addicted. Habitual drunks would be the perfect patients (sent by the Government) or lab-rats (signed themselves in) as other addictions or social defects might also be treatable using meds and perhaps a 'vacation on an actual Rez. Where I am the meeting place is at a rodeo, with a ring and a big dance floor and a big parking lot and the cops park at the closest intersection (very rural) Southern US has one child per township from what I've heard so various 'themes' would be available depending on the desired needs of the 'customer/patient'.

Banning the sale of alcohol in public would be the death knell of most restaurants.

The idea is a joke. It is called censorship and apparently you are the one who gets control what every other adult gets to see or have open access to. You are not my mother and I do not need you to look after me and I sure as f^ck don't need your permission to do anything. Get over yourself already. If you don't want to see a smoke shop don't look.

Sorry, but that is a great song.

Underground bars, same as in prohibition. Perhaps the Christian angle was a flase flag and the real deal was to make it a black market item as the profit is much higher. The demand was too great to keep it in 'short supply' like you can do with pot and coke and heroin.

That is not a good sign! I for one, don't buy alcohol in restaurants and wouldn't even if I drank. If it's really a flourishing business, then the economy isn't near as bad as lots of people make it out to be!

 

[Machjo]

So how about restaurants that sell booze with your meal?

I could see two options:

1. Exempt a restaurant that merely tolerates people bringing, serving, or drinking their own alcohol, it

2. Make the restaurant invisible to the public's eyes.

If a person wants that restaurant, he contacts his internet provider to opt in, accesses an advertising website that advertises such restaurants, emails the restaurant the street address and open hours, and off you go.

For example, it would be easy to just remove the sign from an LCBO. A passreby would just see a building with people walking in and out of it.

He wants to know what it sells, then ask the person who just walked out of it.

It"s not that hard.
