"As a Canadian person, I can confidently assure outsiders who look upon Canada as this always-smiling apologetic utopia that its not. Its cold for about 11 months of the year. Near every pond lurks a pack of Canada Geese that will either try to bite you or will laugh as you slip on their poo. But at least we can now legally smoke all our problems away, because today marks the first day that cannabis is 100% legal in Canada. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office in 2015, one of the things he promised was that Canada would one day decriminalize pot (medical marijuana has been a-ok since 2001). There were a couple times parliament tried to pass decriminalization bills, but they didnt take until 2017, when the Cannabis Act was passed. The bill officially went into effect today, thus making Canada the second country in the world, behind Uruguay, to legalize it for recreation, medical use, and cultivation. Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles are crying THC tears. CBC notes that the rules will vary from province to province.

You can also buy weed online and have it shipped to your house. Forget what I said about the geese, this country is obviously great. But you cant sell it €“ you have to buy it from the government or an approved source. Canada is also considering releasing people in jail for weed-related offenses. As for how much legal weed in Canada will cost, thats still up for debate. But CBC says that in general, it looks like it will start at about $7 to $8 a gram.

When they see the money that Canada brings in from pot, the US government will look at legalizing also just from a tax revenue standpoint and to remove the black market from the picture. It is already legal in nine states for recreational use (and three more are voting on it next month) and a number of likely 2020 Presidential candidates plan to make it legal if elected. I saw a poll on TV today which said 60 percent of the American public favors legalizing it. My guess is it will be legal across the US if not by 2021 then by 2025 at the very latest.

Despite decades of research on pot use, suggestions to decriminalize, the use of medical marijuana and recreational use, there are still a lot of issues to be worked out. Most towns and most urban neighbourhoods do not want marijuana retail outlets .... NIMBY. There are issues about production. I live in a rural area with a number of greenhouses and a lot of Dutchmen who are getting into the business. We have 7 licensed grow ops in town and the people living downwind are really upset about the smell. We have municipal elections next week and there is big pressure put the kibosh on plans for any new ones. Then there is the issue of where to smoke it. Most condos and apartment buildings want their buildings to be pot smoke free. The province and many municipal governments already have restrictions on smoking tobacco in public places. Anyone serving alcohol in Ontario has to get Smart Serve certification and the training teaches about the law and legal liability concerning serving people who are intoxicated. They are trained in how much people can be served without getting loaded, but now they will have to deal with the effects of the combination of the booze they are drinking and the pot they might be smoking if they slip outside for a toke. I am glad that people won't be going to jail for simple possession, but it's not like decriminalization is without its problems. |

Look out for THE LANDSLIDE!! :-) If pot gets legalized in the US, you won't see people out there wanting to legalize or decriminalize cocaine or meth or crack or other street drugs. For one thing, marijuana is 100 percent natural, you grow it, dry it, and smoke it. It will be handled just like alcohol; in fact, the soda manufacturers are already working to produce athetic energy drinks that just contain CBD (the part of pot that works for pain and doesn't get you high) and drinks that contain THC (the part that gets you high) so it will won't be just smoking it. Legalizing pot isn't going to open Pandora's Box for legalizing all other illegal drugs. |

States (and possible counties and cities) will still probably retain the right to make it illegal. Since those States are not illegally declaring it legal contrary to current Federal laws, it would unwise for the Feds to say "Thanks for your support but now HAVE to make it legal against your wishes." -sw |

It's the fringe aspects that scare me a bit - tasty edibles made at home can easily fall into the hands of little kids and pets with disastrous results. Also the driving while under the influence, I hear a mouth swab test is starting to look successful. Otherwise - I see little difference between booze and pot. One is either a responsible user, or not. |

Those weed smokers should find out what it does to their brains. They should think twice before
smoking that first joint....while they can still understand the science. N. |

![]() > I imagine big pharma has been researching it for decades for sure. They have, but government regulations have made it difficult for them to put any medications that came out of marijuana research onto the market. One that did hit the market recently is a drug that is helping children who experience numerous epileptic seizures every day; it cuts their seizure activity down to nearly nothing. Marijuana also helps many with chronic severe pain, and it helps in a way opioids do not, and does not have the serious side effects that opioids do, and this is something I have seen firsthand. I have seen a loved one who is in tears crippled over in back and spinal pain and can barely walk and move take a couple hits from a joint, and 15 minutes later, their pain is gone and they can walk and move and can raise their arms without pain for a few hours. In this way, pot is a miracle drug. |

One of the reasons I stopped smoking pot years ago was that it made me depressed. It seemed silly to spend money and to risk getting caught to do something that tended to depress me. |

Years of personal research. I am not saying that pot is exceptionally good for you, but there is no doubt that alcohol as a wide range of medical, physical, and psychological side effects. Alcohol has been shown to be a factor in 31% if fatal crashes. That sounds pretty bad. The stats just say that alcohol was involved and does not mean that the person who caused the accident was intoxicated or that they were even at fault. They also show that 69% of the accidents did not involve alcohol. The statistics game is not an easy one because there are so many other factors. While there appears to be fewer drinking drivers these days there have also been incredible improvements on vehicle and highway design to reduce fatalities. |

And I will continue to say until EVIDENCED otherwise that no human in the history of humanity has ever died from smoking too much cannabis. Lord knows I tried back in high school! John Kuthe... |

I consider it to be relatively harmless. Pot smokers do not get hangovers. They don't sclerosis of the liver or bowel cancer from it. Pot smokers are not known for getting into bar fights and beating their spouses. Alcohol causes more health, mental, social, family, accidents, work place injuries and criminal problems than all illegal drugs combined. |

People around here were are concerned that legalization would lead to people driving stoned. Being a bicyclist and motorcyclist I smell it coming from cars at almost every intersection. I can't imagine there could be an increase. |

I know for sure it helped David and there is a guy in my building who has PTSD (make sure never to look in his eyes, you can tell he has seen stuff in Afghanistan you wouldn't want to see) and that along with his calmer dog, definitely makes life liveable for him. I am sure some coast along on medical 'need' as well, as you say. |
