Why does Trudeau dawdle when benefits of Cannabis control go to the evil side?

I dunno. Stopped smoking the dope many many years ago, and quit the cigs about 6 years ago. It' not healthy to smoke either but I sure did my share . I don't think there are any benefits from smoking anything. But you have to understand my perspective, my siblings and I watched our sister waste away from small cell lung cancer . Due ,,as hospice told us, to many years of smoking. My opinion of smoking pot or cigs, which my sister did both, is based on that.
Oh they will know. As to your assertion about underage pot smokers. I don't recall wandering out to get moonshine because I was too young to buy a case of beer or a 26er of hard stuff legally. I just got an older friend to hit the liquor store. So, how exactly does the evil side profit?
Because we have experience in breaking down barriers of prohibition
Booze took this route too and eventually made its way back into society
You have to bring the proponents the lukewarm attitudes the fence sitters
and the mild cases of disapproval. Its politics and it does take time to
change attitudes

When I was young, we had "Blind Pigs" to get liquor after hours or if you were too young....
But that's small town....Dunno what you did in big city...
It's time to take the profits of cannabis cultivation and sale out of the hands of evil individuals and put them in the hands of good, kind, saintly corporations.
Durham ... the new capital of ganga.
In Quebec, all we did was walk down the street to the corner Depanneur and bought a quart bottle of beer. Everyone was cool. No binge drinking freak out on your 19th birthday.
Yeah ....been there.... used to go across the border to Val-D'or to party on week-ends.....
When you're young up North in Kapuskasing, a 5 hour drive ain't nuthin' in the summer time.....
Dawdle? Intelligent legislation takes time to draw up. Rushed legislation leads to bad laws that are either ignored or have to be revised. In any case Trudeau has been in power less than four months. I would not expect legislation regarding marijuana to be tabled for at least a year.
Yeah, I just did useless sh*t like fly supplies and people in and out of remote communities. Never whilst high though. That's just a real bad idea even before you get off the ground.
No kidding eh? 5 hours is like a Sunday drive. :lol:
Now compare that wasting away due to nicotine which kill quite a few Canadians as compared to cannabis.
What should your sister have been smoking if legal non-lethal cannabis had been what she would have chosen.
Note the benefit.
Anecdotal information is always good but look at the stats to see just how stupid we have been for so long.

It is not Canadian attitudes that need to change.
It is the political right wing taking bribes from tobacco and alcohol lobbies that control the political corrupt attitude.
End the bribes and good law will be our reward.

At least it would be taxed and we would not have to maintain as many prisons.
You have no idea how much prohibition is costing us.
I see this as a moral question. A shame that most do not.

Especially when the booze was flowing in the car.

We already have models for legislation of alcohol and other drugs.
Cannabis is just another drug as far as our Royal Commission report is concerned.
All Trudeau has to do is follow the recommendations that the intelligentsia has produced for the last 100 years.
Regardless of this, legislation is always revised and changed in the meeting that draft the initial law. Trudeau needs not draft the whole law. Just the direction for the legislation needs be known initially.
Remember that all he has to do is look at the legislation that died on the order papers that his dad put up in 78. Nothing has changed.

Profits will still go to the evil side. The legal age for buying pot will be 18. Kids are using it at much younger ages. They know where to get it and will continue to get it from their regular sources.
Government control of alcohol hasn't stopped kids from getting it.
Tobacco control only stopped kids from getting it when the adults turned against it. and that's when more kids started using marijuana. And government control won't stop kids from smoking pot.

Where prohibition is repealed or given to the medical side instead of the legal side, addiction and use go down.
I do not favor free and open sales. I believe in the medical control via prescription method. That is the best way for our doctors to monitor the harm levels we may be putting ourselves into.
The use by minors will be greatly reduced when 90% of the pushers are no longer after them.

Better than what we have had for the last 10 years.
And get rid of your doper buddies and normal dopers will look good to you.

Liberal MP Bill Blair wants to make it clear the growth and sale of legal marijuana in Canada will not be a free-for-all. Bill, its already a free-for-all -- anyone can already get anything they want,any time they want.
So the only question is who will be selling it, the provincial Liquor Board Store or that gang guy on the corner.
And Trudeau could not have picked a worse "point person" to develop a legalization strategy for Canada than Bill Blair -- the guy who couldn't manage his own police force (link is external).
Mr. Blair said that as he consults on the issue, he will not be swayed by individuals, including his friend and former colleague at the Toronto Police Service, Kim Derry.
In a recent interview, Mr. Derry said the new system should get rid of the “goons” that operate in the marijuana business. Mr. Derry is part of a project seeking a licence to grow medical marijuana north of Toronto, and said he would not hesitate to make his views known to Mr. Blair.
However, Mr. Blair said: “There is a wide diversity of opinion, and it’s important that those opinions be heard, but I’m not responding to any particular lobbyist or individual on this.”
