NFT: Happy Cannabis Legalization Day, eh!

Les in TO : 10/16/2018 9:01 pm
At midnight, cannabis for recreational purposes is legal across the great white north. You can buy it in store or online or grow your own. Edibles and concentrates are still prohibited for another year.

Canada joins Uruguay as the only two nations to fully legalize.

A lot of people are expected to call in “sick” tomorrow

nope only intra-provincial online purchases are allowed, but anyone who is of legal age can purchase it in store so we’ll see if that drives cannatourism from some border states that have not yet legalized
It’s kind of a tease

because they apparently won’t be able to meet the demand for a while.
Huge spike in DUI arrests...

And ER visits/poison control call volumes. As a parent I worry about the edibles - a 4 year old was hospitalized after eating gummy bears laced with cannabis her idiot parents left behind in the backseat of their car (they were arrested and charged)

Being that Florida get enought Canadian snowbirds, for the sake of your argument, can we consider Florida a border state? Just asking for a friend...

Perhaps a Canadian goose cross border cannabis flying scheme is in order.

Yeah edibles are concerning. I only use the flower, I just don’t trust ingesting. Can’t imagine having that as your first go around as a teenager, not fun.

Edibles today are no joke, gotta take the recommended dosage.

Cartridge pens are incredible.
All of these  
Pete in MD : 10/17/2018 11:17 am : link
things effect people in different ways but I feel like edible marijuana is the most extreme example. Some people have the greatest night and others think the NSA is after them.
I don't smoke anymore

but this is a fantastic day.

You just have to understand the dose you're taking when it comes to edibles. I have 30 mg gummy worms - I barely feel anything when I eat one of them, it just helps me relax/sleep. If I really want to get loopy, I'll eat 2 but I usually don't do that.

The cartridges are fantastic. Kingpen Indica's like Skywalker are super convenient, quick and easy.

Obviously the real flower will always be king, but it's not always feasible and of course, depending on where you are, it also smells - so you might not be able to smoke that way if you're in an apartment complex or have pets around.

Should only be a matter of time before the rest of the US catches up. Hopefully sooner than later.

Meadowland winds make Swishers the only choice to enjoy bud pre-game, unless of course you wanna stink up the car.

I tried a fruity pebble cartridge last week...blew me away
All of the downsides exist to a greater extent with alcohol  
JerryNYG : 10/17/2018 4:40 pm : link
DUIs, ER visits, and general chaos are all worse with alcohol.

Marijuana certainly has it's ill effects, but on the whole is much safer than most or all other recreational substances.

The tax revenue and savings from ending prohibition/incarceration make this a no brainier.

edibles need to be banned as a safety measure but besides that its absurd weed is not legal in the USA.

I do agree with you - edibles are extremely dangerous for that one reason. Children can't tell the difference and will eat them if they're within reach.

I mean, I am saying this as someone who actually has edibles in my home right now - but I also don't have any children and they're in a drawer where my puppy has absolutely no chance at getting to them.

But it's definitely something that should be a concern and if they were no longer sold, I would understand why and be okay with it.
I just keep thinking that with the Canadian Liberation of Cannabis
