Canadians lose money investing in Cannabis

Agree completely. Hope they're educating well in schools.

Alcohol and tobacco are still much larger problems relative to cannabis and cause a greater amount of harm because the number of addicted abusers is far greater.

Oh they’re educating all right (i.e. chucky 101)

It's plain to see that Chuck lives a sheltered life.
Tobacco kills the user only, albeit slowly.
Alcohol harms families generationally.
Harms the user slowly. Only a few can function (hold a job) while drinking a 60 a day. Many function on a mickey a night.
Pot is now normalized. Affects on the brain before 25 while still developing evident. Attitude of chronic users while young is different.
A few hits after work is one thing.
But the reasoning abilities of a chronic user I find different between pot and booze. Neither better just different.
I believe adolescent usage more harmful with pot.
It seems the "screw it" attitude more prevalent.
Your liver doesn't blow in your 40s with pot.
It's here to stay. And that's okay.
But deflecting to other abuses doesn't make pot the lesser. Nice try Chuck.
Not sure which the lesser if my kid was using. I guess you can check out easier with less side effects with pot.
Naloxone unnecessary if just booze around.
Work beside a few, there's differences.
Again, you still have to go black market if you're a heavier user. Same place for shrooms.
The users I know all draw a line on the coke, crack, meth, etc. They know you do bad things and die fast. Because pot was illegal, they saw it.

I've been told that you still go to your regular grower for the good stuff.
Store bud like 3.2 beer.

That is what I have been told as well. As usual, government intervention can screw anything up. The free market had the appropriate quality of the products all figured out. Government got involved, and they can't even piggyback on all of the decades of experience and instead, reinvent the wheel and provide a product the customer doesn't want.

Yet there are those among Us who still think the government should be intervening in power generation, vehicle production, consumer choices, fertilizer use, land use, health mandates etc.
In fact, our own useful idiot chuck, even uses this as his go-to argument, the government is mandating it or building it, therefore it must work.

Well, here is a prime example of of that fallacy.

Of course, it's probably just the fault of climate change or Stephen Harper or anti-vaxxers as usual.

It is scary that the government can’t make money in an industry that has been profitable in the black market for years but they think they can remake our vehicle and energy systems by dictate!?!?

Drug bust today in Battleford.
8 kgs cocaine and 5000 pre-rolled cannabis.281 grams Xanax?? Tablets.
A phone in delivery service.

Police from Alberta and Sask RCMP and Emonton area drug and gang.

Only drug charges were for the cocaine.

Both persons charged had 3 to 4 counts of failure to comply with release order conditions.

The vape cannabis is probably the most insidious…

Lung damage is serious… more addictive than many will admit….

Bad move for health of Canadians….Probably Most profitable for legal cannabis industry…
