PrimeNumber Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Marijuana smoke is much more pervasive. And second hand tobacco smoke is much more deadly, 53,800 people die every single year from second hand smoke from cigarettes and 0, that's right 0, people die annually from second hand smoke from marijuana. Explain to your kids that it's like cigarettes, adults if they so choose to can smoke it and that children shouldn't as it is not good for their development. It's no different than explaining to your kids why adults drink alcohol. Some people love to over complicate things. I seriously doubt your kids are going to run out and buy some anymore than they will cigarettes. It's incredibly odd that you would be so worried about marijuana and so passive about cigarettes when one is clearly exponentially way worse for you than the other. Edited March 25, 2015 by PrimeNumber 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
On Guard for Thee Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Canada banned cannabis before the Americans.....and a few U.S. states have already "legalized" pot. Yes except its still quite illegal federally. We dont want a patchwork quilt of laws like that. Its quite easy to get a note from your Dr. to buy it for medical reasons (wink, wink) and once we get rid of the con. gov. here it will be legalized. But in reality you could probably smoke a joint in front of the cop shop and not worry about getting busted. Quote

I don't smoke anything, I would ban cigarettes if I could. Do you think there is any harm in people breathing second hand marijuana smoke? Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
eyeball Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't smoke anything, I would ban cigarettes if I could. How would you punish people? What sort of powers would you give the state? How would you deal with the utter failure and unwillingness of the public to comply with the dictates of the state? How far would you go?

Ash74 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't smoke anything, I would ban cigarettes if I could. Do you think there is any harm in people breathing second hand marijuana smoke? The debate rages over the effects of second hand marijuana smoke. Yes I will add cigarettes to the things you would ban. At least this one you have a really good argument for it. It is still safer than tobacco in its natural form hence my call for regulations. It would be safer than what is going on now. The police rarely look to bust for personal use unless they are looking for a reason. Why not just admit it and save the time and energy of fighting it Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.

GostHacked Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Marijuana smoke is much more pervasive. It also smells better than tobacco. I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't smoke anything, I would ban cigarettes if I could. Do you think there is any harm in people breathing second hand marijuana smoke?

It also smells better than tobacco. Take a stroll down a sidewalk in a busy city and inhale some of those exhaust fumes. Now we're talking about exhaust fumes? I don't agree that it smells better than tobacco. Just because you can't go a day without getting high doesn't men everyone has to be in favor of it. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
Ash74 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Now we're talking about exhaust fumes? I don't agree that it smells better than tobacco. Just because you can't go a day without getting high doesn't men everyone has to be in favor of it. Always with the shots. Everything has become about regulations and banning for all political parties. Why this need to control every details of our lives. I am all for law and order, ensuring we are not eating contaminated foods and drinks but this nanny state we are now living in is just a yoke around are necks. Police talking to reporters bragging about breaking up university house parties while talking about the beer tents going well. All so they can control and regulate. I am on a bit of a rant here but I am just sick of being told what is the minimum I can pay for beer or what time I should do laundry. If people want to smoke pot than let them and move on. Waste of money fighting this when the pot has already won Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.

webc5 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Parliament needs to get their act together and tackle this issue. I wonder if they want to eradicate marijuana like they do with prostitution. Quote
ron Young Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Of course it should be legal for recreational, medical and industrial uses. Now that its legality is fully politicized we are going to continue shelling out an unbelievable amount of tax money to determine the answer to something that should have never been a question in the first place. Oh the complete and utter stupidity of these elected and wanna be elected miscreants in Ottawa astounds me and outta astound you as well. Quote

webc5 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 The Conservatives will never legalize it. Vote Liberals or New Democrats if you want change. Quote
Ash74 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 The Conservatives will never legalize it. Vote Liberals or New Democrats if you want change. LOL We have had all the "Change" we can take in Ontario As a conservative I do believe it should be legal. It is a personal choice and this aspect of right wingers to police personal choices is what gives us a bad name. Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.

eyeball Posted March 29, 2015 Report Posted March 29, 2015 Do you hold your nose and make the personal choice to vote Conservative anyway? The willingness to enable tyranny is probably the most disturbing aspect of a right-winger. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

eyeball Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Don't vote and let whoever you would have voted for know why not. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
Ash74 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Don't vote and let whoever you would have voted for know why not. I voted in the last Ontario provincial election with the hope for a Liberal Minority with the NDP keeping them in check so that the P.C's could dump Hudak and hopefully find a decent party leader. Sure he had the nerve to tell the truth about cutting spending and yes his million job plan is right beside the jobs created by the HST and Green energy act.He always comes off as such a unlikeable person he didn't stand a chance.

cybercoma Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Stephen Harpers' wife, Laureen, certainly thinks so. "You don't put people in jail [for smoking pot]," she says in the video. Quote
The_Squid Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 That's very progressive of the wife of the PM... too bad she has no influence on a darn thing. Quote
Black Dog Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 That's very progressive of the wife of the PM... too bad she has no influence on a darn thing. If the rumors are true, she's more progressive than PMSH on a number of issues. Quote
cybercoma Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 I bet she doesn't even vote for him. Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Marijuana and its prohibition drove much of the early 'blues scene'. The early Feds paid a silly amount of time tracking various artists like Ella Fitzgerald. Great song. Never heard it before. Reminds me of 'Puttin' on the Ritz'. Quote

overthere Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 somebody got put in jail in Canada for smoking pot? When was that? Really, who gives a shit in 2015? We just wasted 45 pages and some brain cells on a non-topic. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
