I know where I am moving next year! Who's all coming with me?!
I'll meet you down at the big yellow joint.

Yeah true, but if you ever admit at the US border to having smoked any weed, ever, they can deny you entry. Drug tests next?
Man...I should move to Canadia. But its too damn cold up there. Can't deal.
That would be unavoidable, because provinces have regulatory power over all industries operating within them.there is some bad news though.... fuckin' Provinces will have a say on how it can be dsitrubuted
I don't think it would work in the US. The States are too much of your identity. Since most of the provinces are relatively new it would have a much better chance of success up here. Tho Quebec would have to be treated much differently (what else is new).
Im in southern ontario and we havent had real winters in years. Climate change
those sweet tax dollars,
those sweet tourism dollars,
those sweet drug enforcement cost savings,

Which is great, and hope it stays that way.
I'd campaign on it being a cash crop for those rural states. Grow hemp, grow weed save the family farm! Put Jim Bob McDonald back to work!Marajuana legalized in the southern belt within the next 6-7 years? how is that going to happen with Republicans having an iron fist control of the state governments?
In all fairness, it snowed in May last year. In southern Ontario.
It's amazing how Canadian conservatives are the opposite of American conservatives on social issues. Once something here becomes law, they typically begrudgingly let it go and move on. In the States? They'll bitch and whine about it for decades.
Another part of it is we have no bible belt whatsoever, and there's no right wing media machine. Conservative talk radio never became a thing here, and the Sun News cable network launched and quickly flamed out. We've got trash local right-leaning tabloids like the Sun, but their political impact is, generally, local. The National Post? It leans to the right, but is fairly restrained in its opinions.
nice try NDP, but Mucklair only campaigned on decirminiazlition not legalztion
Define "real winter".
I wonder what will happen in that period between the legislation being voted into law an July 1st 2018. Whether it weeks or months, that's gotta be strange legal grey area because I can't imagine charges for possession sticking.
Enough to build a snowman or have a snowball fight.... atleast that's been the case in Windsor for the past couple of years. It falls, but it all melts upon touching the ground. If it does manage to stay, its gone in a day or at worst a week.Define "real winter".
It almost makes you feel bad for kids today, not able to actually enjoy the winter for what it should be. Instead it's just a more shitty autumn with colder temperatures and the occasional snowfallWhen I was younger, the streets would turn to ice and there would be snowbanks a foot and a half tall. Haven't had one of those in a while, or practically forever now.
Been saying for a while, regardless of past performance, all the Liberals need to do to win the next election is legalize weed. And I say that as someone who doesn't smoke. It's a good move, and it will win a lot of goodwill with young voters (assuming, they, you know, VOTE).
Peter Julian was talking shit today before this dropped about how the Liberals and JT weren't going to legalize it. Dude needs to eat some massive crow.
It's time subsidize TTC!!!!!
They'll just spend it gold plating the Scarborough subway extension.
Looking forward to BC taking a similarly cool and mature approach to weed as they do alcohol!
It'll be hidden under lock and key within BC liquor stores in reality
Meh. Hopefully this doesn't just get more people to start smoking. It seems people in this thread are going to start smoking just cause it's legal.
Dunno why the date is so far off, but cool. I guess if they're leaving many of the details up to the provinces, they need the time to put the systems in place.
I find the smell of pot far far less offensive than cigarette smoke. Also, people tend to not just smoke weed all day everyday compared to cigarettes where it's common place for people to smoke every hour or more.
That said, yeah, smoking anything is bad news. Time to step into the 21st century and get a vaporizer.
In 2016 they worked on drafting the plan, in spring this year the plan gets put on the budget and it taking a year from that is really impressive to me.Dunno why the date is so far off, but cool.

Less people in prison AND collecting those sweet sin taxes are a win in my book.

As with any prohibition, when it's gone there will be an initial orgy of consumption. People who never smoked will try it, and people who already smoke will go cray-cray. It will normalize soon after when the novelty wears off, but yeah, be prepared to see, hear, and smell an annoying mount of weed for the first month or two.
Enh, more power to 'em. Some people will discover that it ain't for them, some people will go overboard, and some people will improve their quality of life drastically. I kind of hope my grandmother smokes up, she could use it.
If the gangs are losing m/billions in weed revenue you can bet there ass they are making that up in other ways.
Provinces are going to control it? Oh boy.
