boyst Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 That ***** has a lot more to worry about than weed and only sees the tax revenue from it. He needs to be more like his father - out of politics... Like old cold. He's a douchehat Using weed legalization to generate income for his coffees and corrupt fecal stain of state government is abhorrent. NY deserves better but won't get it so they deserve this. Toke up NY. Enjoy the laughing stock that is all that east of Cuse.

Bad Things Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 The NZ government just announced this morning that we (NZ) will be having a public referendum on legalization at the 2020 elections. I'm really interested to see how this is going to fly. I'm sure it will pass, but to what extent? There has been a lot of discussion on how to handle it, without letting Big Tobacco or Big Alcohol take over the market, as they have in other places. 2 hours ago, 4merper4mer said: I don't claim perfection I just get annoyed with pot worship.

row_33 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) In Ontario, since the October changes, the smoking or growing or selling of anything that goes up in smoke is forbidden in or near most owned/leased property, upon penalty of immediate eviction my living and work managers have made this proclamation it appears to be working, I haven’t noticed a trace of any smoke, tobacco or cannabis, since it started they’ve traded tolerance for legality that has zero tolerance gov’t distributors are supposed to start in April but supply apparently is nowhere near ready —— opting in is up to each municipality with some large areas like Mississauga and Markham opting out of licensing Edited December 18, 2018 by row_33

Legal weed when you are surrounded by states with legal weed? Let's not act rashly. Meet the world's dumbest Republican. http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/20181020/sununu-opposes-marijuana-legalization “You have the issue that black market marijuana is at an all time high in Colorado right now,” Sununu told the Seacoast Media Group’s editorial board on Friday. “Because they’ll (drug dealers) always try to undercut whatever the government market is. “When that happens you’ve created this culture that it’s OK but nobody knows what they’re buying.” Isn't that the entrepreneurial way.

3rdnlng Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 The smoking of pot is bad for the environment. Even sending the remnants of this thread to PPP pollutes our pristine sub forum. Is there no safe haven for those of us who couldn't find our bong or roach clip with a days notice? 2

Maybe it's not so much "pot worship" as people wanting the freedom to do what they like as long as it doesn't hurt anyone? Or maybe it's a desire to stop letting billions go into an unregulated and untaxed black market? It's funny how we tolerate negatives from some things but not others. Not trying to make a slippery slope here, but based on this, why not legalize/regulate/tax cocaine? Edited December 18, 2018 by snafu

On a side note, all drugs are "legal" to possess in Portugal. But distribution is illegal. The concept was to make drugs a health issue instead of a criminal one. It's actually been very successful. As to your comment, some drugs are more dangerous than others. But it's also true some drugs on Schedule 1 can have medicinal value but can't be fully studied because they are on Schedule 1. (I refer to psychedelics which are showing promise in the treatment of PTSD and other mental health issues.) It might be worth reclassifying some drugs to allow study, not neccessarily legalizing them. As for pot, it's been in wide use for almost 100 years. It's relatively benign, although like any substance, it can be abused. But we tolerate the abuse of many things that have negative consequences far worse than pot because those things are "legal." The illegality of marijuana is mainly due to racial and political factors, not from any supposed harm it causes. Edited December 18, 2018 by PromoTheRobot 1
RochesterRob Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 1 hour ago, Tiberius said: Freedom You have freedom now. If legalized in New York it will still have state and local restrictions just like alcohol and tobacco. If you can't stroll through a local park with a lit Marlboro or open Coors you can bet you can't walk through with a lit fattie, either. Some municipalities require that beer be consumed away from the street side of a home so imagine pot will fall under the same type of restriction. So you have the basic freedoms that you enjoy now in that the cops can't randomly go to the back side of your property or inside your home for illegal drugs. For most people legalization is not going to change much as the hippy couple just outside of town is going to undercut Walgreen's, etc. to keep their business. Probably the hippy wife is more interesting than the fat woman behind the counter at Walgreen's. 2 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: On a side note, all drugs are "legal" to possess in Portugal.
