Garnet Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 All the laws for home grown weed will be changed, making the cost in prison sentence to high. The same as running a still in the 30's. The big issue is who will make the money. That's all settled liberal, conservative, NDP have old politician's that own part of these medical weed company's. Currently 13 are listed on the stock exchange. These legal grow company's have all the quality seed supply's locked up and they will get the contracts to supply LCBO. If you take the 1st year of Colorado tax increase and gross it up to Canadian population is $450 million. Do you think billy bob , red neck are getting a changes at that money.
tb4me Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 lol If the Libs let the union sell it the dealers will be laughing all the way to the bank..or the sock drawer...Kinda defeats the purpose of legalizing if you ask me.. I hope they allow home grows, veggie gardens will never be the same

tomkat Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I hear not to hard to qualify for medical marijuana . Maybe some of them just want a more convenient way to obtain it but don't need it more than any other pothead. Still can't for the life of me understand why it is illegal. Buy it in the store in Colorado but get arrested in the next state over? The lunatics are running the asylum. As far as opening Pandora's box just look at the states that have legalized it. I don't see any horror stories on the news? It's not like everyone is going to start smoking it because it is legal.I don't care if it's free all it does is give me anxiety so I won't be running to the store to buy it but I really don't care if anybody else does. A nice step towards ending the idiotic war on drugs.

KLINKER Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 So if the feds legalize the province wants to make illegal and regulate. Storage charge ,delivery charge, dept charge.....
manitoubass2 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 I hear not to hard to qualify for medical marijuana . Sure isnt hard here. I know plenty of people with prescription marijuana. A dr in town believes in obtaining health through nature is a better option in many cases than big pharma drugs. Its surprisingly cheap as well.
tomkat Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 As a firefighter I have been running alcohol related medical emergencies for over 25 years. Health problems, accidents and overdoses. I can't recall 1 instance related to marijuana. Yet some people believe legalizing it will be some huge problem. I just don't see it.
GbayGiant Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 prohibition brain washed everyone!
scuro2 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Decriminalize it but tax the hell out of it like alcohol and let those who want to get wasted offset the taxes of everyone else. Also by putting it under government control we squeeze out the criminal element that currently is involved in distrubution and create jobs. Win-win-win.

Dutch01 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) control will never let the criminal element that is driving the system go away but most will never understand that. Control (ie prohibition) creates the conditions for criminal enterprise to thrive. Ever seen tomatoes for $2000 a pound? Edited December 17, 2015 by Dutch01

If we did that, then the guy down the street would be cheaper. Why would I go to the lcbo and pay more?
Dara Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 You mean like ciggarettes..nobody peddles bootleg smokes to save the taxes...thats against the law
manitoubass2 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 You mean like ciggarettes..nobody peddles bootleg smokes to save the taxes...thats against the law Ummmmm, yeah they do lol. Its a huge business
John Bacon Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Decriminalize it but tax the hell out of it like alcohol and let those who want to get wasted offset the taxes of everyone else. Also by putting it under government control we squeeze out the criminal element that currently is involved in distrubution and create jobs. Win-win-win. I think you would need to legalize, rather than just decriminalize it, it in order to tax it. I don't think that they will be able to "tax the hell out of it". If there is too much then people will just grow their own or buy from an illegal source. They should be able to take in a modest tax and still sell some.
manitoubass2 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Yip john bacon has it right. Although, im curious why more pot users arent just going to the dr for a script? They are now precribing it for almost disease/illness/ailment. And its cheap and you get really really good marijuana of your choice, plus you can grow a certain amount of plants yourself.
highdrifter Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Exactly. I'm told you you can get a prescription for medical bud, regardless of the condition!! Ooohhh doctor Green Thumbs... paging doctor green thumbs!!..
Dara Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 Sorry...I forgot the sarcasm emote Ummmmm, yeah they do lol. Its a huge business
Dara Posted December 17, 2015 Report Posted December 17, 2015 I would get one of them scripts if OHIP would pay for it Exactly. I'm told you you can get a prescription for medical bud, regardless of the condition!! Ooohhh doctor Green Thumbs... paging doctor green thumbs!!..

Just like making your own beer or wine or tobacco
