As this progresses, I think the more disigner strain will fade away, for the better producting strains ...
Thanks. I believe you are correct

I am done debating this with you as you are clearly stuck in a tunnel vision of hypocrisy and can't see the forest from the trees.

Again for people who need marihuana medically I fully support it. However I am not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend all recreational users are moderately consuming it.

I have a different opinion that does not make me ignorant it makes me opinionated. Arguing that most people are super responsible users is not the case as anyone with a nose can smell people smoking it and driving daily. But hey what does my family's safety matter as long as they aren't "baked out of their mind".
And the same can be said for alcohol, prescription meds, and over the counter meds.

I would not say you are ignorant, I would just hope you hold the same opinion with regards to similar products like the ones mentioned above, otherwise I would probably call it out as hypocritical.

I do know people who ask about weed with low thc levels as they don't want to be high. What their reason is I ha e never asked as it is none of my business but they do exist so let's not pretend they dont.

So then is it safe for me to assume you would like prohibition of alcohol put back in place? Cause you know education isn't working.

[QUOTE=millartech;3505197]Do you have the same concerns with alcohol, prescription meds, over the counter meds, or guns?

That stuff is legal so it must be ok to drive while on it, operate equipment while on it.

Stupid people make stupid decisions, that is life. It doesn't matter whether it is weed, alcohol, guns, prescription and non prescription meds. Your issue is with the person not the product.

Do you think guns should be banned cause they kill people? For guns I am not worried about my kids have a good head on their shoulder and won't touch one but I can't say the same thing for other kids or their parents. How do I know they teach responsible gun ownership, proper use and transportation. To much risk in guns, can't trust the general population, we should ban them all.

Most coherent and truthful post so far

With few exceptions , everyone I know that smokes this stuff is a professional.
Meaning you would think they did it for a living because it is pretty much all they do . They don't work and if they do they don't do it often.They never have money , except for dope and junk food. They usually smell like they sleep in an outhouse and they can tell you all about how there "recreational" drug of choice is good because it's natural and they aren't hurting anyone .blah blah blah.But yes they smoke it like it's a lifeline they are not addicted to. .

Nothing good will come of this legislation ,but That won't stop the Trudope from pushing it on through.. GD the pusherman

I have never been one to bend to peer pressure, sure as hell am not going to start now because you like it want it or need it.

Again, not everyone wants that garbage in society, I do not understand why users can not understand that?
Don't recall reading anything in this thread regarding that statement, but certainly doesn't take away from whether or not it should be illegal or not.

You and I had a back and forth a while back, and you mentioned something along the lines of 'enjoying your LEGAL glass of wine with a steak' or something to that effect.

I could take your stance but replace marijuana with alcohol. So my question to you again, once marijuana is legal, and I want to enjoy a LEGAL smoke with my steak, will you be accepting of it then, as you are now of your LEGAL wine that used to be illegal?

Cheers

I would question the company you keep. I don't know anyone who smokes weed and is anything that you describe above.

I never said it would be harder to get than today. I don't think it will be. I was referring to kids in school under 18. Which is the vast majority. Before you are 18 it is much easier to get pot than alcohol.

Low thc weed does exist isn't common or widely sought after. Does it exist? Yes. Let's also not pretend or suggest most people smoking it are not doing so to get high and therefore want a normal to high level of thc. Medical users may be the ones wanting a lowet thc but again I am okay with that as they are treating a condition not smoking to get high and that is already legal.

I am far from a hypocrite, I don't drink to get high, get a px when i require medication and speak to a pharmacist if I need something over the counter. if someone needs weed to treat an ailment there is already that option. Not sure how I am a hypocrite at all.

I never said you were a hypocrite I said I would expect you to carry a similar view point to weed as you do alcohol and such, which you appear to, so no not hypocritical.

Do you see a difference between me sitting on my deck and enjoying a couple beer in the evening or enjoying a hoot?

I am against prescription meds in many ways. There's a drug for everything - including repackaging for different purposes. Like renamed Paxil for shaking leg syndrome. People are too willing to take.

I'm an addict - cigarettes and coffee. I'd like to see weed more readily accessible.

When a 12 year old child is faced with trying drugs - and they will do it anyway, I'd prefer they be educated enough smoke a joint instead of meth, or heroin, or ecstasy or fentanyl or any of the unknowns that are killing people in droves.

At least legal weed that comes direct from a dispensary is guaranteed clean, not laced with anything stronger.

Keep it coming.
That I can agree on.

As I said before, everyone has their poison and everyone's poison is better than the others.

We would not have this fentanyl fiasco if it was regulated and clean. People who want to do drugs, drink alcohol, smoke will do it regards of the laws or what others think. Each to their own.

As long as it does not affect my safety or harm me in anyway I could careless what others do. Stop worrying about your neighbour, worry about yourself.

I am honestly asking a question.
There are so many varietys of wine,Scotch, Beer ect. that one can drink to enjoy the flavor without getting drunk or with caution impaired.

Do you do the same with Pot, can you distinguish types and enjoy them without the high.
It seems to me, my opinion that the point of weed is to get High.

I appreciate having a level headed discussion with you MAC. It is the true way to discuss something.

Yes I can distinguish between types and flavours. You can also have just a small hoot from a bowl and not have the entire "high" sensation that one could get from smoking an entire joint. There is always a small feeling, but that can also be said of alcohol. That small feeling also depends on tolerance similar to alcohol.

For me, I don't see it any difference between me having a hoot on my deck or a beer on my deck.

Growing up in sask, legal age was 19. There weren't many 19 year olds left in high school; just the stoners. I'm kidding, people just relax. Seriously though there weren't many 19 year olds left in high school. I don't remember one time that some ones older brother or sister wasn't around. Even knew a few parents that bought the booze. (crazy) Coworkers of age that would buy. Friends a few years older than you. A cousin; the list goes on and on.

Maybe times have changed, or maybe a smaller town you associated with more people than your classmates. In high school I associated with people probably 4 years my junior and senior.

People at the liquor store knew what was happening when a 19 year old went and bought $500 of booze and needed 2 shopping carts and shopped with a list.

I'm different, no tolerance at all for THC. Last time I tried, 2 small puffs, quick in and out. Puked my guts up, spent 4 hours locked up in a body stone, wasn't even sure if I was breathing. Always loved the smell of it.

Each person is definty affected differently. I have a buddy who can have a sip of booze and be puking and peeing out his butt for that night and maybe the next day. Probably an allergy.

Id like to make a deal with Trudeau

Let me use a handgun to hunt, and you can smoke all the dope you want

I think its a good compromise

People can smoke up, I can light up a deer

Neither one of us is dangerous or hurting anyone

Maybe Trudeau will see it my way

If not, well, once I turn 65, Im gonna buy a really big handgun and shoot a moose. By then, Canada will be too stoned to care. 😬

They'll be like "duuuuude....that was AWESOME!!!"

And I'll be like "you hungry?"

Isn't that the truth... I have friends that can't touch rye at all, complete Jeckyl and Hyde.

2 beer flattens me, but yet, hard liquor takes a while to kick in.

Now if you could only find a way to include a quadder, granola cruncher and burka wearing lady (or man...who really knows what's behind there?) in that scenario we might have world peace!
