These mass growers are going to fuck it up.

They know it will just create a market for "organic" and the prices should go back up.

It should be organic.

Today's organic or 75 years ago organic. They are different...LOL

Food items that are classified as "organic", to me, should be classified as "Chemical Free". Pot could be the same way. Marketing baby, Marketing.....LOL

I don't care how it's marketed, it shouldn't have chemicals on it - period.

I used to toke years ago. I think I'm currently on the fence about whether it should be widely available.



I'm not anyone's Father, but I wouldn't suggest anyone under 18 use it, although I did. It can change the way you think permanently, and this can be a double edged sword for people who are still developing.



On the other hand, if there were more truthful education spread through mass media about it, fewer people would smoke tobacco and drink alcohol. I think marijuana is ultimately a safer option than these and other drugs.

I hope they both disappear too.

The government of Ontario had tobacco revenue alone in 2012-2013 of $1.15 billion. I cannot find figures for alcohol sin taxes.  I would like to see marijuana legalized and taxed too. I am a smoker and a drinker, but sin taxes make much more sense than taxing income. The problem with sin taxes is that if governments get too greedy it creates a contraband market as we have in Ontario with cigarettes.

Alcohol and tobacco do pay a lot of bills provincially and federally, no question about it.

I don't care iron horse jockey, they are both destroy people.

Some people are helped by marijuana.  You can't say the same of tobacco use or alcohol as we use it.

My husband and I used to fall for that deliberately misleading label on food and pay more.

I was NEVER much of a pot smoker and I grew up in awesome, cheap weed country.  I use it to manage pain - the same pain Montel Williams has.  To think someone would deny me access to a drug that works pisses me off.  People shouldn't have to suffer due to other people's ignorance.

I really dislike the idea of legalizing mood altering substances..



But, I too know that marijuana and opiates have medicinal purposes..



I don't know.

Do you know how many mood altering substances there are?  Caffeine is a mood altering substance in additional MANY MANY legal drugs.  To say one is okay and another one isn't for no real reason doesn't make sense.

I want you to know that I respect your views, Fash. It seems like you've known someone whose life spun out of control due to substance abuse, and I can relate to that.



While it does have medicinal properties, I think more people use it to self medicate in a way that leads them beyond healing and hovers on emotional and physical dependence. However, it's not for me to say how other people choose to live, though, as long as they don't negatively affect others in proximity to themselves.

I think people in your situation would benefit from using it medicinally, but as I type this I'm kind of wondering where do we draw the line on who can use it and who can't? Freedom is one thing, but there are some benevolent reasons we have laws and restrictions in effect.



I think it does have side effects that can outweigh the benefits. As a person who might or might not use it regularly, how much would you say is too much to use over any allotted period of time?

RW

I can say for a few drugs I take and have taken that the side effects outweigh the benefit but I wouldn't include marijuana on that list.



I think with any drug, you start with the lowest amount possible and work up from there.  I honestly don't know what my upper limit would be as I've never reached it.



After hours of rolling around in bed and having a hot bath I've decided to use some marijuana to get rid of the severe pain I have in my legs.  Maybe then I can sleep.

Does a person really need to be drunk or high all the time?



That's pathetic.

If a person is in a lot of pain, being "high all the time" might be a better option.



What I find "pathetic" is denying people drugs that help them.

I do not think she will ever see mary jane as having purpose besides recreational high.

RW

That's just ignorant.



I had the choice between morphine, oxycodone and marijuana to treat my pain.  Two are highly addictive opiates that leave me unable to function and the other is marijuana.  It's a no brainer for me.   The only thing I can't do while using marijuana is operate a motor vehicle, which I can't do on the other two either.



I assume you've toked a few spliffs in your day Hermie?
