Ya, it's about bloody time. This should have happened in the early aughts at the latest.
Unfortunately where I'm at "someone" decided at the last minute to toss a wrench into the (all ready to go) works and now it is only available by ordering online until at least the spring. No retail at all.
I mean I KIND of prefer what the supposed end result will be (private retail lincenses as opposed to a gov monopoly on the biz like it is with booze) but it just seems like a skeevy delay tactic and perhaps a big ole info grab on potheads via the online store.
I am unamused with my province at the moe.

But drugs provided so much great music and art to my life...can't be all bad, right?
Where I live they managed to get medical use passed, and surprisingly enough the local government has complied pretty well despite being vehemently against it. Now we have recreational coming up on the ballot in a few weeks and I can't wait to vote YES YES YES, baby!!

Here too many making money under the table so it will never be legal in Louisiana. It’s a class 1 felony here I think. I know a few people can go oil for certain conditions

Well if they're high... that's a good thing IMO. @Voda... Good luck. It's an even dumber/more futile prohibition than booze was.

I've been in Vietnam for almost 6 years. 2 weeks ago I was at a venue, a stack of police turned up. Closed the bar, killed the music, and none of us could leave until we all pissed in a pot. Strangely they were testing or cannabis and opium. 11 guys were detained, passpors confiscated, they collected the next day with cancelled visa (that they just ha to do a Visa run t replace) and a fine.
6 years, I've never heard of this happening here. It was just an open mic night, hardly a rave, just a guy sat on a stool playing Latin music on his guitar. The president had died, so the country was in two days of mourning, not you could tell from the streets and locals,

I don't smoke - although I've indulged when I was a teenager. But it has a very nasty and unpleasant effect on me. That being said, I've always hated the smell and, the only thing worst than the smell: the cult of weed. Usually comes with a Che Guevara poster and a Bob Marley mix tape.
That being said, I am very happy for all my friends who shed to indulge legally and just proud that Canada took that step.
Incidentally... I seem to observe that people who like pot are often already on the mellower side of the spectrum - not to say that they don't suffer from anxiety and such, but they're often the ones who like to relax, play games, watch movies - whereas people who are naturally more of the high energy type will crave things that will exaggerate that trait, legal or not, whether it's coffee, energy drink or other substances... Weird.

I just can't get over the shift in perception toward marijuana. Back in my heyday, you could get into some serious trouble with a minuscule amount of low grade marijuana in your possession. And now there are cannabis stores all over town where I live.
And yet, weirdly enough, THC is considered a Schedule One controlled substance by the federal government, right up there with heroin.

Everything should be legalized, but with punishment for causing harm (or potential harm) while partaking.
Disclaimer: I do not partake in alcohol or drugs, but recognize a person's right to do so.
If they harm themselves, it's their circus their monkeys. But don't harm someone else.

I, er, I mean, a friend once smuggled pot into British Columbia enroute to a gig.
It was just because I, that is, "he" didn't know anyone at the destination to procure some from. At the border, the agent asked if we had marijuana, to which we gave the proper reply. Then he added "we don't go for that stuff here", which made me smile. I wanted so badly to tell him that no one brings pot into BC. After all, everybody knows the good stuff comes from BC.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

I don't associate it with anything that means anything. People will be people. I have no "angst". I am always sad to see any substance overtake a person to the point that they aren't themselves any more. Substances have a way of doing that.
Never floated my boat. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe I missed a lot of fun. I'll never know now. Heck, I barely reason well now. I can't imagine adding that into the mix for me

car accidents are up 6% in states that have legalized pot. We'll see what happens in Canada. I'm dubious.

I wonder how much the accident rate went up when alcohol became legal in the U.S. after prohibition.

I live near a park . I sit outside with my dog and watch groups of people smoke weed in public all the time ...
When it is time for them to go home all they get into their cars and drive off just like nothing happened ...
That part of things I'm not cool with ...it seems pretty selfish that they are so willing to put other peoples lives at risk.
I have to sit on my hands all day long because I may need to drive or I may need a clear head to be out and about ...
I won't even touch the green until I know I'm only walking or just staying inside my home for the remainder of my day
