Marijuana, has anyone got a clue?

[chuckChuck]

Caught part of documentary about Colorado and what's happenned there with the illegal drug cartels moving in.
Our laws are. So slack it will be worse here.

Colorado is different because there are nearby states where it is illegal and there is a large black market. In canada it will be legal in every province. The US market will be an option for some "high risk exporters" but not other provinces.

I would think there should be less drug impaired people on the road.Cause police will now be properly trained and penalties are more.Renember lots of prescription drugs and driving can get you the same result when caught as smoking pot and driving.

Alcohol creates more employment than mj

1 Farmers, hops, barley, rye, wheat, sugar cane . . .
2 Brewery, distiller employees
3 Bars, liquor stores and to a certain extent some restaurant employees.
4 Taxi's
5 Police and first responders
6 Medical doctors, nurses, orderlies, physiotherapists, plastic surgeons . . . .
7 Medical supplies, stainless steel parts, sutures, wheel chair manufactures, prosthesis . . . .
8 Auto body shops
9 Ambulance companies
10 Coroner, funeral home . . . .early arrivals
11 Judges, crown prosecutor, criminal lawyer, divorce lawyers and the guy who cuts the lawn grass at the courthouse.

12 Wardens, all those employed at jails and penitentiaries.


Mary Jane also creates employment . . . .

! You, bending over to pull it out of the ground
2 Employees at Bick Lighter
3 Employees at Old Dutch

Yep agree

There is a difference between someone benefitting from it medically and an all out free for all.

It is a fact it does fry young brains and no doubt the more it's available the more young people will use it. That's the biggest concern.

As far. As accidents I have more than one rcmp friend that will tell you otherwise. Rarely gets checked in many accidents if you don't have reason to suspect.

If I know someone is a drug user they don't work for me. If I find out later they get let go. I can't fool around waiting for that atoned day to happen where my combine gets rolled or driven into someone or something

Prohibition never works yes because ther are never serious enough consequences
Local drug dealers didn't mind going to court only to get a 200 dollar fine and then make a 5,000 dollar deal outside the courthouse with the other stoners there. And sometimes the dealer knows the judge also as a customer so no wonder.
Same with alcohol youbget caught driving stoned you don't just lose your license you lose your vehicle and 10,000 first time 100,000 next time. But I guess then you'd have to watch for all the walking stonies. Hahaha

You are grossly misinformed. Your assertion cannabis fry’s brains is wrong. The studies that show iq impairment don’t account for what other drugs or alcohol the patient used. The studies are flawed. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/01/twins-study-finds-no-evidence-marijuana-lowers-iq-teens http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/01/twins-study-finds-no-evidence-marijuana-lowers-iq-teens Your RCMP friend is not a source for the impairment of cannabis. You should quit spewing misinformation it makes you look really dumb. Harder penalties for drugs don’t work. Or maybe you want to kill drug dealers. You should move to a county that is not Canada if you believe that. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/18/health/marijuana-cognitive-effects-study/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/18/health/marijuana-cognitive-effects-study/index.html (Marijuana's effects on young brains diminish 72 hours after use, research says)

I know enough chronic stoners to ask. If its not the pot what is it?

If the oils are beneficial to us that needs to be studied. In the US studies were NEVER allowed on illegal substances. Smoking is certainly NOT an option. Laws need to adjust, and any users MUST be aware of driving laws AND workplace regulations or lives WILL be destroyed. Complicated!

Lives have been destroyed for years now by drug impaired drivers.

I read a statement today that doesn’t want to leave my mind.
Marijuanna is safer than the Catholic Church.

Agree, but even if nobody dies, losing driving privileges and your job/career is destroying your life.

Are you meanning drunk drivers or booze impaired operators? Driving under any influence is nuts, but to compare marijuana with liquor really?

I am saying drivers that smoke up and drive will not change with it being legal other than they may get caught now that the cops get trained.
