Typical ridiculous comment. These stores are professing to sell medical marijuana. They are selling to kids and that believe it or not, makes them "real criminals". If you had Grandchildren Cliff, would you want them to be able to wander into any store and buy marijuana easier than they can buy a pack of wooden matches?

Real criminals are dangerous. Also will burden the court system.
I'm sure you know they closed three store here in town. Just exactly how big a backlog do you think that will create in our completely useless judicial system? You are all a bunch of older men acting like children.

Change store to any street corner or classroom and you have the situation in any Canadian town today-were you born yesterday Mister?

A kid can call a phone number faster than you and have weed delivered anywhere/anytime it's been like that for decades in case you didn't know.

Yeah, the kids can get this sh*t today faster than we used to get chewing gum! :)

B.C. marijuana shops illegal say feds, as RCMP crackdown - British Columbia - CBC News

What about all the sex perverts and murderers of indigenous women still on the loose?
They're not passive enough to catch, easily. It's too much work!

You have to wonder what kind of message that the Mounties are trying to send in the wake of the new Prime Minister announcing that the current government are going to legalize pot. Are they going to "go to war" against the Federal government? So much of the Mountie's existence over the last century has involved chasing down substances. They won't know what to do with themselves. They may be forced to find new ways to justify their existences, such as chasing down serial killers.

I think Bill is right, clearing the road for corporate interests. The argument for years has been that it would be better to decriminalize pot so people can grow their own. Legalizing it will just make it into a big business venture and we all know that Big Pharma would be in charge then. It is going to be a huge cash cow for both government and Big Pharma.

Maybe, that is because of the clandestine ways that it is grown and processed. Milk would be tainted with all sorts of garbage if we had to obtain it by illegal means, too.
