Wynne lands first strike on Dog Ford on Marijuana Distribution

[Twin_Moose]

That's not a very propitious start for Doug Ford. I mean Kathleen Wynne is degenerate dyke but i expect more from Ford.

Marijuana will always be a powerful and anything but benign narcotic. Habitual use will lead to paranoia, depression, social isolation.. ultimately psychosis. Although 95% of people can responsibly use alcohol; it's likely almost nobody will be able to responsibly tolerate cannabis. It's a very internal psychotropic drug which will acerbate any underlying mental pathology.

There is NO real therapeutic value for canabis. All the industry has come up with is anecdotes and cynical promotion that has never been backed up with clinical double blind research limited to the active agent of THC.

Ford's comments seem to indicate he is a very conventional NeoConservative, with their mantra of the (non existent) 'Invisible Hand of the Free Market' as the cure-all for all economic, social and moral problems.. and government as the problem.

If this guy is one of the idiotci Reaganomic trickle downers its the last thing Ontario (or Canada) needs. It'll just add to the uninterrupted litany of mediocrities and incompetents of all major parties we've been led by for the last 30 years.

There is quite a bit of research out there on medical benefits, seems to have the ability to, ease nerves in MS, and Parkinson's shrink tumors with high concentrate oils from what I've heard and read, I'd love to see more beneficial studies done on it.

I personally don't use it, or like it, for work I'm screened for it, but If I end up with a disease like Parkinson's, MS, or cancerous tumor I sure as hell will try it.

Name one double blind research study, isolating the one active agent THC, and prescribing a regulated dosage and method of application (oral, injection or patch.. definitely not smoking) that supports that. It's not like the industry hasn't tried.

I can't but with all the hallaballoo on it I would like to see more study on it I'm getting to the age that I maybe have to start thinking about it

The illegal status made double blind impossible but several are now underway.

Did you just finish watching Reefer Madness ? It was a very compelling and accurate portrail of the evil weed .

We're not talking here about prescription marijuana. We're talking here about recreational marijuana.

We're not talking here about prescription marijuana. We're talking here about recreational marijuana.

Due to the legal prohibition of weed there is a lack of modern medical study - but there are long histories in many cultures of its use for a variety of things .

I have nothing against prescription marijuana. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that has been legal for a while now already. Again, what we're talking about here is recreational marijuana, not prescription.

Then I have to apologize to you I thought you meant use in general, Although a lot of MS sufferers swear by casual Mary Jane to settle their nerves and make life bearable

Cannabis is used in a number of ways for its medical benefits. Most people think that you get dried leaves and smoke it. While some people do this, most cannabis is processed and made into ointments, oil, pills, drops or additives. When prepared as a pill, salve, drop or oil, users do not usually get high. The extracts can also be vapourized or eaten.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the medical aspect of cannabis use, visit this link and snoop around.

I would like to try some just to help me sleep at night.....but the hoops that you have to jump through just to get accepted for medical use are just crazy
So I'm waiting for it to get legalized....
But I still will Not vote Liberal

In my early 20s i was one of those raving maniacs.

Habitual use over a couple of years completely disrupted my academic and personal life as well as my sense of well being.. leaving me thinking maybe Reefer Madness had a point. It won't turn you into a axe murderer, but it can certainly derail your family, social and professional life just at the time when you should be getting those things in gear. I think a lot of young people are going to be sadly disillusioned by it.

I haven't had so much as a toke since i was 25.. and do not miss it. This is a very naive and irresponsible move by the Trudeau government... but what else is new.

Doug Ford is triggering a PC identity crisis


Will the real Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario please stand up?

Having, just barely, chosen Doug Ford to take them into the next provincial election, the PCs have for better and worse solved the leadership crisis that engulfed them when Patrick Brown resigned amidst allegations of sexual misconduct.

Today, however, they face something more daunting. An identity crisis.

And for a party that aspires to run Ontario less than three months from now, that's a problem of existential proportions.


The sad truth is, no one has the faintest idea what it means to vote PC today.

The party, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside the enigma of a Toronto populist.

Less than two months ago, and with Brown's hand on the helm, the party was intent on selling itself as a moderate, progressive alternative to the governing Liberals.

The PCs' enticingly named "People's Guarantee" was an unashamedly centre-right platform. At its heart was a new carbon tax that would not only fight climate change but pay for more child care and mental health services as well as an appetizing, 22-per-cent income-tax cut.

This was a carefully calibrated agenda advanced by a party that had blown three previous, entirely winnable elections with rash promises of publicly-funded faith-based schools, chain gangs and 100,000 public-service job cuts.

We'll never know how Brown's platform would have fared because Ford has blue-binned it.

People have to understand that Doug has special insight into marijuana distribution.

"Really, Doug put it right next to the candy bars?"

Seriously, Wynne is a ****ing idiot.

And Mentalfloss if you think that's a strike, you might want to get out a little more.

Cause your influences are wimps.

Most of Flossy's thread titles are misleading. He's like Avro in that he absolutely needs attention. He will say almost anything to be the centre of attention. What an empty life. Imagine, it will only worsen as he ages.
