I love how it takes marijuana industry for folks on the left to see the folly of too much government regulation lol.
Tell me more, oh omniscient one.I love how it takes marijuana industry for folks on the left to see the folly of too much government regulation lol.
Don't you have some more bills to pass that are 2300+ pages?Tell me more, oh omniscient one.
I love how you believe your own straw men.I love how it takes marijuana industry for folks on the left to see the folly of too much government regulation lol.
You see, RWNJs are very very concerned about govt regulation and the loss of basic rights and freedoms, which is why they actively support stupid draconian govt laws, such as outlawing a freaking plant, that lead to people being branded as felons, imprisoned, and losing their voting and gun rights for life.blackangst thinks the problem with this is legalized weed. lol.
Yes, California, in typical fashion, is the one state that has managed to fuck up legislation.was reading about Canadian legalization, the producers are having trouble finding people willing to work for them because they will only pay barely above min wage, meanwhile the black market has no problem finding enough people willing to do the job for what they pay ($25/h) all the while the black market prices are lower.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can you cite that? You're saying marijuana producers in Mexico are paying all of their cartel members $25+?was reading about Canadian legalization, the producers are having trouble finding people willing to work for them because they will only pay barely above min wage, meanwhile the black market has no problem finding enough people willing to do the job for what they pay ($25/h) all the while the black market prices are lower.

Nah in Canada, BC specifically for jobs such as trimming and harvestingCan you cite that? You're saying marijuana producers in Mexico are paying all of their cartel members $25+?
Interesting. So your illegal marijuana is all local? Not distributed North from Latin America?Nah in Canada, BC specifically for jobs such as trimming and harvesting

nope, there's always been a very healthy local black market, lots of indoor grows as well. BC used to export quite a bit to the US, now we export it all over the world, local grow operation just sold a bunch of product to AustraliaInteresting. So your illegal marijuana is all local?

Lol.. not even the high school kids in BC would be caught dead with Mexican weed.Interesting. So your illegal marijuana is all local? Not distributed North from Latin America?
I'm not anti-pot, but any substance that alters your state of thinking/being the way drugs do is complicated. For example...with alcohol, it comes in nice, packaged cans/bottles and can be consumed a glass at a time with relatively consistent results.You can always tell who is anti-pot because they rush to make threads like this.
The difference between overdosing on alcohol and overdosing on marijuana is that, if you overdose on alcohol, you die.I'm not anti-pot, but any substance that alters your state of thinking/being the way drugs do is complicated.

Pot can be like alcohol....you can take a hit and chill or smoke too much and be pretty useless. My concern is that if it becomes socially acceptable and legal, how do you make it easy for the general public know how to limit their use of it to make it safe. One challenge in CO is that a lot of the edibles take 30+ minutes for people to feel their effects. It's caused a lot of dangerous overdoses....of marijuana.

I was only using edible ODs as an example of how the use of the new products has resulted in a need for more regulation or public awareness of how to properly use the stuff.The difference overdosing on alcohol and overdosing on marijuana is that, if you overdose on alcohol, you die.
Seems like the best you can do with any substance is education, coupled with sensible regulation only when necessary. After that, trying to control everyone's behavior qualifies as government overreach IMO.I'm not anti-pot, but any substance that alters your state of thinking/being the way drugs do is complicated.

Yeah. There's a difference between trying to control behavior and trying to protect the public from potentially dangerous substances. That's the job of the regulatory bodies...make sure what people are buying is safe and knowing that it's not going to kill people. Substance education is a huge deal, but all they ever taught me in school was to just say no.Seems like the best you can do with any substance is education, coupled with sensible regulation only when necessary.

Yup, plus a pot dispensary isn't going to be lacing their weed by sprinkling in some crack, mixing it with other chemicals, etc or anything
Heck you can even grow your own. Not is Washington.Yes, California, in typical fashion, is the one state that has managed to fuck up legislation.
Come on up to Oregon, where the black market has completely disappeared, and legal weed is cheaper, even after taxes, than when I was in high school 30 years ago (no pun intended).
