Recreational Marijuana Becomes Legal In Canada On Wednesday

[Crashnyploshnit]

 

On Wednesday, October 17th, Canada will become the second country in the world where marijuana is legal on a national level. Adults will be able to possess up to 30 grams of pot and grow as many as four plants of any size per household. One thing that isn’t legal yet is the sale and distribution of marijuana edibles, at least not for another 12 or so months. Expect the amount of impaired driving charges will skyrocket.

It's the right thing to do, more countries should follow suit.

i believe that's only because of the delay in setting up storefront/retail outlets.  as of tomorrow, it will be sold online only for delivery.  and they don't sell edibles i guess.  the private retail outlets are set to be licensed and set to go for April 1.

 

The government also said consultations would begin immediately before a “tightly-regulated private retail model” for cannabis takes effect on April 1. The number of private retailers that will be licensed to sell marijuana hasn’t been determined. Fedeli said the Ontario Cannabis Store would act as a wholesaler to private businesses.

on the radio this morning, there was something about all the current storefronts selling cannabis are required to shut down by tomorrow, or they won't be considered for a license when the time comes. effectively putting them out of business for six months in the hopes of getting a license later.

as i noted in the In the News thread this morning, it's going to be a money maker for both the federal and provincial governments, if they sell it at a reasonable price.

I thought the Canadians were already mad enough without the gear

[manboobs109]

You Canadian cunts willing to post it over? The selection and quality will be immense. Wee bit solid never gets intercepted.

[Ke1t]

Canada looks more appealing with every year that passes. 

[looksgoodinred]

the price looks like it will vary by province -- currently it's illegal to cross most provincial borders with alcohol, but people do it anyway and rarely get pulled for it unless it's a huge amount (it's controlled by provincial liquor boards). i expect the same will be true of weed, for those that live near provincial borders.

5 blunts for $20 last week in Vancouver, obviously will be a bit more now but still.

[Bluto10]

always find weed smokers to be slovenly unwashed types.

Not as refined as your beer drinker or coke users

[Don Fonte]

Druggies the lot of them. Disgusting.

[dave_min]

This is the most disappointing thing to come from Canada since the people.

[looksgoodinred]

i'm looking forward to the increased taxes earned from it to do good things.

maybe fix some potholes. or fund food banks. or something. 

[tightbreeks]

This kind of thing just reminds of how the shithole uk is going to become even more of a daily mail influenced shithole country after a big bowl of steaming hot brexit.

Canada get a pass on this one. Good on the cunts.

[Ke1t]

No drug should be illegal. What you stick in your own body is your business and fuck all to do with government.

[tightbreeks]

Too right k

 

In Portugal drug use has gone down and in most instances not changed.

 

If you want to take class a b and c's then you will, so it's not as though people will be like I've been dying on a toke all my life but now it's legal, I can!

[manboobs109]

Can't beat a wee one skinner on the way home from the boozer then munch yer fish supper. I think a lot of cunts opinions of smoke comes from shitey 90's soapbar. Can't beat a good bit green, very trippy high you can get from a lot of it.

Your 1990s steeped opinion may well be in effect to a degree son; but overall there is a far higher level of class and distinguishedidititty across the group - which by the way is a much bigger, vaster and more energetic sea of human life than it was when you've taken your snapshot of their characteristics.

Give us a chance Bluto son - we've plenty to offer.

Lol

 

Forgive me, I’ve been living in the 90s all my life

Only two stores will be opened for business selling pot tomorrow in Calgary but the city is working their way through applications for over 120 other potential stores. Pot will also be available for sale online. Gamechanger for bringing more money in from the tax charged. Hope our transportation system improves in Calgary as a result of the extra tax revenue.

An entrepreneur in embra opened a cafe called purple haze with the intention of letting his punters have a smoke after their bacon roll, it was just at the bottom of great junction street before ocean terminal.

 

The coppers stopped it soon after, spoil sports.

Increased government taxes earnings to fund food banks?

 

You’ve clearly been on the weed thinking that’s appropriate. Should be eliminating them surely.

I know that guy, Kevin Williamson(not that one GB1875) good cunt. Defo not an 'entrepreneur' though.

[tightbreeks]

The spirit was there. Forward thinking and that.

[tightbreeks]

The a and e might be a far quieter place at a weekend, far less steamers who can't handle the peeve getting into all sorts of shenanigans.

 

A few caners with maybe sore tummies from eating too much.

Longest thread name?

"smoke up eh!"

 

Would have sufficed
