Liberals to announce marijuana will be legal by July 1, 2018
- Thread starter Retired_Can_Soldier
- Start date
I have always claimed that Trudeau does not want legalized pot on the streets until after the next election. Trudeau can not have wall-to-wall TV filming huge parties as though the Leafs had won the Stanley Cup. Nor can Trudeau have film of some sorrowful mother crying about her child being killed by a driver high on pot prior to the next election.
Trudeau is already talking about the provinces not being ready and just recently at the senate hearings, it was said that although pot may be legalized on July 1st, the pot stores will not have any product because it is illegal to transport the pot prior to it becoming legal. So there are delays expected as to when pot will be available for sale. (On July 1st, it will be legal, but not for sale.)
I suspect that pot will not be available for sale until after the next election.

It's why I believe Govt is behind the fentanyl crisis.
Is there a cheaper more effective way to clear out junkies and the $250K they each cost society per year?
I think that the only reason they are making pot legal is because they don't need the "Policing" pretense anymore.
Too many middle class kids getting busted and the ruination of lives with an arrest record.
They simply traded off one bogey man for another.
Pot laws were always about controlling young people. The legal right to stop/search and harass young people.
Not to worry .... the anti-terrorism legislation has all the powers (and more) to accomplish or utilize the same methods of controlling young people.
My major hang-up with the anti-terror legislation is that if they can't find a bale of Mary-Do-Yuh-Wanna (millions of bales) being transported across Canada, then how are they gonna find a terrorist? A terrorist can't possibly smell as pungent as a bale of weed.
However, they now have the anti-terror legislation and NSA surveillance in place which is far more intrusive than any anti-pot laws were.
Think back to drunk driving ..... The cops were stopping/searching vehicles without cause.
I remember when the Supreme Court told the cops that they could not stop people driving a car and to search it without just cause.
Within a month, a new advertising campaign hit the media. The cops invented the "Town Drunk" and did so at Christmas time. Pictures of kids losing a Mother due to a drunk driver echoed within the media. (Why didn't they Just pass a law and where parking lots at bars and nightclubs were not allowed?)
Initially, the "searches" were done during the Christmas season. (R.I.D.E.)
Then, the May 24th holiday and now all day and everyday, the cops can stop your vehicle and search passengers.

I just worked it out and I pay about $5 to $6 A gram when I buy a half ounce or more and it's primo stuff.
Hi! Petros:
It seems to me that each war NATO is involved in, drugs of every type begin to enter communities. The Vietnam War and the Afganistan war are prime examples.
"The heroin crisis then and now is a direct consequence of the Military-Industrial Complex. During the 1970’s, around the same time during the Vietnam War, heroin made its way to the United States from the Golden Triangle which became an epidemic. It was estimated that more than 200,000 people in New York City alone were using heroin. At one point in time, you were able to find used syringes on public playgrounds."
Up to 93% of the world's opium comes from Afghanistan. Who buys the (4800 tons in 2016) opium harvests; refines them into heroin; controls the export routes; and then sell them for humongous profit? Who is supplying the huge amount of chemicals required to refine the heroin product? How is it possible to transport the finished heroin product undetected by Western forces?
“Afghanistan has roughly 500,000 acres, or about 780 square miles, devoted to growing opium poppy. That’s equivalent to more than 400,000 U.S. football fields — including the end zones.”
I think that CIA external operations are financed from the profits.

Right on, the only ones that make a difference is the ones - maybe 5 or 10% who won't do it while it's against the law.
Anything over $120 oz-$140 oz is a burn. Even weed stores start prices at $5gr
I'd expect 24hr suspensions will skyrocket.
Trudy is getting the cops to shut them down, medical or not.
There were 17 of them in Regina. Not sure how many now after Feb 1st cease and desist order went out.
It's looking increasingly doubtful that pot legalization is going to be brought out before the end of next year, maybe longer if the powers that be have their way. this is what happens when Justin mindlessly opens his mouth and makes big bold announcements with no plan or any facts, then shrinks back into the shadows and declares that it's up to everyone else to figure out the details as he has a persistent habit of doing. Just not ready...still...
Marijuana Legalization Timeline Under Pressure As Senate Conservatives Balk
Expedient marijuana legalization roll-out may not happen this summer, if Senate Conservatives get their way. A proposed law covering cannabis impaired driving rules has been delayed for at least two months in Parliament, with Conservatives arguing legalization should be postponed until year’s end. If enacted, that would throw a soaking wet quilt on the cannabis sector—if only in the short-term.
The sticking point appears to be Bill C-46. If you recall, the Liberal government introduced the aforementioned Bill at the same time it introduced Bill C-45—the legislation which would legalize the sale of cannabis in Canada. Bill C-46 was introduced to quell inadequate legal frameworks surrounding cannabis-induced impaired driving. Despite months of review and dozens of expert witness consultation, the Senate apparently requires more time. “We will go at C-46 with more hearings in May… with the intention of sending the legislation to the Senate for a third reading in June”, according to vice-president of the steering committee, Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu.
Quebec calls for one-year delay on legal marijuana
A motion introduced by the Coalition Avenir Quebec and supported by the Liberals and the PQ called for the date of legalization to be moved to July 1, 2019.
“We're asking for a delay of one year. Right now, we're not ready. We're not ready for such an important change in our society,” said CAQ leader Francois Legault.
Canada Marijuana Legalization: Police Services Ask Feds To Postpone July 2018 Start Date
Canada's police services say there is zero chance they will be ready to enforce new laws for legalized pot by next summer.
If the government doesn't postpone the start date there will be a window of six months to a year when police aren't fully ready, which will allow organized crime to flourish, said OPP deputy commissioner for investigations and organized crime Rick Barnum.
You live on the West coast and think you'll have any issues with finding some weed?
... You really need to get out a bit more
The cops won't be ready for a year? Perfect. I'll recover my standing water losses by growing weed on the mighty slough shores.
i would suggest that the faux pas occurred when trudeau made a public statement announcing a hard date.
... Gotta be prepared to follow through if yer gonna call yer shots
