PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Are you saying smoking a full joint is equal to drinking a full beer? Also, your little graphic is very deceiving. T No I said smoking a joint is "like" having a few beer. No one should be driving under either circumstances, but of course they both do entirely different things to you so it's really impossible to compare them im terms of how they effect your state of mind. Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find your way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”― Bruce Lee

guyser Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I don't believe, unlike many fools, that marijuana is harmless. Water is wet. Good for you. And water isnt harmless, neither is chocolate and all sorts of things. I've seen it destroy lives.No you havent. What you may have seen (and this is highly doubtful you have) is a person who is not right using pot to escape a reality and then they spiral . Pot most certainly did not just pop up and ruin a persons life. And teachers......oh man talk about smoking pot? Lots nad lots of them do it daily. I've seen alcohol destroy lies. It's all trash. People who need it to alter their state of mind need help.But youre cool with alcohol and all the other drugs you use. Wow what a hypocrite Quote

Ash74 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Why are we pouring millions on enforcement. I am the right wing conservative here and I say legalize it,tax it and move on to the bigger battles. Yes I am the one Pink Floyd fan that does not smoke pot. (never a fan) but I just see the waste when we have booze and tobacco selling legally. It will not be something that can be done in bars but in backyards and private homes.(Hopefully without kids).

It is far easier to buy pot in Detroit...and in many other U.S. cities...no need to cross the border. Liberals banned pot in Canada, and they are still at it in Ontariowe: Ontario’s newly elected Liberal government has introduced legislation Making Healthy Choices Act 2014, which is aimed at curbing e-cigs and nicotine, but is written to include any substance that is vaporized. Fascinatingly Ontario Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne promised during the campaign she had no intention of enacting legislation on e-cigs, but first piece of healthcare legislation is a ban on e-cigs.

If you want company disliking the Ontario Liberals I am already a long standing member. Check out my other posts. Ontario is very very much a nanny state and I loathe them for it. Ironically they have added so many taxes that some of us have found a wonderful blackmarket cash only kinda thing going. But back to the topic. Pot is very easy to buy anywhere. I am jut saying instead of having that underground market just legalize it and turn a drain on the system into resource. Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.

socialist Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Everything can be harmful if not kept in check. Food can be dangerous for some as some foods do alter the state of mind. Almost anything you do can alter your state of mind. Meditation for one can alter ones state of mind. And even if you have one beer to take the edge off, you are being hypocritical. Weed is not good for developing brains, same goes for alcohol. But as adults, go for it. I've seen lives get destroyed via drugs and alcohol. But weed was never a factor. Usually it was cocaine or harder things like that. And a commercially made cigarette is way more dangerous than weed. It's not the tobacco itself but the process and chemicals used to make cigarettes. How can you consider yourself an educator? I am an educator. You've proven in education threads that you know nothing about education. When it comes to education you are a relic. Your views on weed are heavily influenced by the fact that you need it every day. I don't. I don't need to alter my mind like you do. I face the real world; not through a purple haze. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

Are you OK with your neighbours smoke it on their personal patio while your kids smell the fumes while playing in your yard? What do you say when your kids ask what the smell is?

I face the real world; not through a purple haze. Your not a teacher. What is the difference between having a few beers after work and smoking a joint? Weed if not tampered with is a lot safer than alcohol. Or is this your way of wanting to ban both?

PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Right...and the Americans are already doing this...Reagan's America. What is taking Canada so long ? You should have visited Vancouver in the last 20 years. It might as well have been legal because you can smoke it right on the street, in front of cops. I've seen it more times than I can count. In fact I did it more times than I can count. The cops gave up on it a long time ago. They mostly go after larger suppliers rather than the average joe consumer. Waste of time to fill out the paper work. Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find your way around or through it.

You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”― Bruce Lee

PrimeNumber Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 ..and you should have visited Humboldt County, California in the last 50 years Vancouver's relaxed weed culture may have been longer than 20 years that's just as far back as I know. I can't vouch for any longer than that. http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2014/04/30000-attend-420-smoke-downtown-vancouver-videos-photos/ http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/will-a-lawsuit-revive-humboldt-countys-legendary-420-bash-1017 I'd say both Humboldt county and Vancouver are about on par, surprisingly they are both in States/Provinces where the product is still illegal though mostly decriminalized.
