[quote]The Liberal government will announce legislation next month that will legalize marijuana in Canada by July 1, 2018. CBC News has learned that the legislation will be announced during the week of April 10 and will broadly follow the recommendation of a federally appointed task force that was chaired by former liberal Justice Minister Anne McLellan.[/quote] [url]http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-legal-marijuana-pot-1.4041902[/url]
Meanwhile, they refuse to decriminalize and so people will still be arrested & charged for this bullshit until then.
Andrea Horwath is Ontario's only hope to not fuck up our weed.
aw yeah B)
i thought this was australia title, fuCK

toke one canada :pride: ...in 2018 i mean not right now don't go to jail
It's gonna be a pretty weird feeling knowing this is actually legal after all the DARE program stuff, and years of anti-weed ads and what not. It's about time really, no one should end up with a record due to it.
[QUOTE=AtomicWaffle;52017694]Meanwhile, they refuse to decriminalize and so people will still be arrested & charged for this bullshit until then.[/QUOTE] You have to really fuck up or be stupid to get arrested and charged for smoking weed / having a bit on you. At most the cops here will make you dump it out.
This is america stupid, get your boxing gloves you snowflake. How dare you propose medicinal marijuana my grandfather died traditionally and I wouldn't have it any other way. Vote Republican make Medicaid go away
I am actually surprised, I expected them to back out of this with some weak-ass excuse about UN treaties or some bullshit.
Fun fact, if Wikipedia is to be believed we'll be the largest country in both geographic size and population to legalize weed(so far).

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;52017871] Considering that this was one of their main promises, that would have been very dumb.[/QUOTE] So was electoral reform, and how did that one go? They weaseled their way out of it with some weak bullshit excuses.

Canada legalising it will be pretty much the nail in the coffin for keeping it illegal keeping the anti-weed ship afloat is hard when it's getting a new unfixable leak every few months
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;52018301]Canada legalising it will be pretty much the nail in the coffin for keeping it illegal keeping the anti-weed ship afloat is hard when it's getting a new unfixable leak every few months[/QUOTE] This is one of the reasons why I wish France would just legalize it already I don't smoke and have never been interested in starting, but it hurts me to see so many people just casually drive up to the Netherlands for weed and hookers when we could have both of these businesses domestically and print money all day every day.
I think we have already legalised medical weed? Hopefully this will give a push to legalising recreational weed. Not interested in touching it what so ever - I just want to reduce the power of criminal gangs and keep people safe.

It's about time really, no one should end up with a record due to it.[/QUOTE] Honestly, at this point, I think the US government is maintaining the federal ban on marijuana purely so they don't look stupid after telling us for years that it's the most evil thing ever, only for it to become another common-place thing like cigarettes and alcohol.
one of the nice things is that it's incredibly likely that marijuana will become legalized (de facto or otherwise) in the USA sometime in the next 5-10 years trump could very well end up becoming the president who "lost the drug war" - another thing to add to his long list of failures
Maybe Trump is to the War on Drugs as Nixon was to the Vietnam War, they go into it fighting but ultimately become the one to "lose it" in a way. Either way Pandora's Box has been opened, weed legalization will only go forward.

one huge question will be how employers will be able to do drug screenings after this. employers here seem to think its impossible to control it but i dont really believe that since where I work you already can't smoke or drink on your breaks or lunch so having to worry about someone showing up blitzed is just a dumb argument, plus theres no legal limit on thc or even understanding on how much impares you.
Now tax it so you can print money, pay off the ballooning deficit you put us in, and actually improve life for average Canadians like you promised.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;52019594]Now tax it so you can print money, pay off the ballooning deficit you put us in, and actually improve life for average Canadians like you promised.[/QUOTE] Oh boy, here we go. Those dang dirty Liberals ruined the country even thought it's only been barely 2 years and things actually got bad under Conservative leadership! :rolleyes: Also, How does this NOT improve life for Canadians???? I'd say not having you life ruined over stupid shit is a pretty big +. I will never understand conservative logic.
Ahh yes, then weed will be legal. Except literally everyone already smokes it so nothing really changes
[QUOTE=Liem;52021372]Ahh yes, then weed will be legal. Except literally everyone already smokes it so nothing really changes[/QUOTE] yeah except the people who choose to smoke it won't get absolutely fucked over by the justice system for no reason
I've stopped smoking for 4 months now. But if I do start up again, at least I won't feel like a dirty criminal and be contributing to the tax-base instead of organized crime. I'll just be a citizen who opts for weed instead of alcohol as my choice of relaxation on a Friday night.

[QUOTE=The golden;52024671]Don't you mean that deficit the Harper government put us in? Oh, and also the destruction of the Albertan economy by failing to strengthen its income sources? :rolleyes: I don't love the Liberals but I'm fairly sure they had sweet-fuck-all to do with the points you just brought up. But you basically slag them off in every thread about them so at this point I'm pretty sure there is nothing they could do right - you just like to bitch about him.[/QUOTE] He's just repeating the shit dad says at the dinner table. pierre fricken trudeau ruined canada when he brought in those pakis and legalized the gay
I still have a hard time believing they're actually going to go through with it. Trudeau already pulled out of electoral reform, nothing stopping this one from going bust either. [QUOTE=The golden;52024671]Don't you mean that deficit the Harper government put us in?[/QUOTE] You realize that the deficit starts after the 2008 recession right? The one that fucked economies all over the world? While I think they could have handled the recession better, the deficit would have happened regardless. Also fun fact: the Conservatives actually posted a small surplus budget on their last year.
