Canada legalises recreational marijuana
BBC News ^ | 20th June 2018 | BBC News

Canada has passed a landmark law that legalises the recreational use of marijuana nationwide. The Cannabis Act passed its final hurdle on Tuesday in a 52-29 vote in the Senate. The bill controls and regulates how the drug can be grown, distributed, and sold. Canadians will be able to buy and consume the drug legally as early as this September. The country is the first in the G7 to legalise the drug's recreational use.

Is there an adult version of Candyland called CannabisLand so people can truly recreate with their weed?

What happens when you’re stoned and drunk?


You don’t think you have found the secrets of the universe: you are SURE you have, and you are also sure you can drive across town to tell your friend about it.

They also make cbd oils for pets, if any of you have dogs and cats and small animals with pain issues.

Every animal has cannabinoid receptors, all of our systems can get benefits from the oils from hemp.

No one on weed has ever finished a game of Candyland. First, getting the box open takes 15 minutes. Then someone reads the directions. Once the game actually begins an hour later, the candy starts looking so good everyone leaves to get snacks.

I’ve seen it in pet stores. Apparently real marijuana is harmful to pets but if the CBD is from hemp (slightly different somehow) it’s ok. The CBD you see in pet stores is from hemp.

Politicians would like nothing more than a population stoned, lazy, and dependent on them.

Almost all cbd oil sold for pets and people come from hemp, because there is hardly any thc in the hemp oils. It requires less effort toget any removed, if they even have to at all. Thats why they pick hemp, so that thc levels won’t be an issue.

People could take these products if they desired to. Many arein capsule form and tell you how many pills for an animals weight.

Just like they did in China with the Opium Dens, and the Chinese haven't forgotten nor forgiven the West for it.

If we are going to have drugs, it is always best to have government the kingpin. They got gambling, look how that turned out. /sarc

All I’m saying is that people who have tried both CBD oil from hemp and that from marijuana, for pain, say that the marijuana kind is more effective.

Another marker on our road to self-destruction.

Nonsense - alcohol is more destructive than marijuana, yet both the USA and Canada have handily weathered the legality of that drug.

Congratulations, you’re going to get legal pot.

I hold no illusions it’s going to make society any better.

Gee...another person on the far left (Trudeau) who sees absolutely nothing wrong with dope. You're in good company!

That's exactly right. Makes them easier to manipulate too. Turns off all critical thinking.

Less destructive than alcohol is a far cry from "absolutely nothing wrong with". Was your post dumb - or dishonest?
