So hey! Can any of my neighbors to the north give a quick rundown on how legal cannabis is working out? Numbers, issued licenses, etc... Or post links to some data or articles? I'm down here in Oregon and between us, Washington, California, Alaska, and Hawaii we have the west coast pretty much covered. We have somewhat of a mess down here with some states being legal and others not. Just recently we had a guy trucking a bunch of hemp from Oregon to Colorado get stopped in Idaho which is not a legal state and get tossed in jail and charged. Another guy from Oregon got eight years in prison after getting caught with three pound s of what he claimed was medical marijuana for his own use. Crazy stuff but you guys are legal everywhere so you won't have those issues.
Just curious how it's rolling out up there.
It's a real gong show up here with Prohibition 2.0.
Legal to grow 4 plants but you have to use gov't approved seeds or clones and none are available or are crap you don't want. So basically still illegal to grow your 4 plants and that's 4 per house, not per adult.
Cops can now demand a breathalyzer for no reason and if in a province that uses this useless pot tester from a mouth swab can demand that too. Refuse and get the same penalties as if you were impaired.
Pot in the car is like an open beer. Keep it in the trunk and you better be able to prove it was bought legally or you're busted. 30g per person for possession in public.
14 years max for supplying pot to a minor. Small fine if it's booze.
14 again for making oils with flammable solvents. Time to get that critical CO2 unit.
Whole bunch of other new repressive laws added as well. Legalization it ain't.
There is a critical shortage of 'legal' pot with huge facilities coming on line over the next year so eventually there will be a glut and then hopefully prices will drop but I doubt they will. Mostly crap available and medical patients have found all there favorites have got sold off in the stoner market so nothing for them as well.
Alberta here has the most stores but they can't get product so are suffering.
That's gonna get rid of the black market for sure.
TheLeafNews.com is a good spot to see what's going on up here. Single mom with MS busted for testing over 5ng with the swab thing. Had to have her young child picked up as her car was being towed. Hundreds of dollars later to get it back a week later. Ontario I think.
As a med patient I'll for sure fail a blood test but would probably be OK with the swab as I never smoke pot during the day and it has to be withing a few hours of toking for it to work. I don't even take pot with me when we are out for the day.
I have a doctor's recommendation for 12g/day so if I filed to grow I'd be legal for 59 plants indoors but don't want to be on the gov't hit list so will just keep doing what I've been doing here for almost 20 years and watch the show from the sidelines. Almost as funny as a Trump rally if they weren't both so tragic. lol
