Canada Legalizes Marijuana

Not open for further replies.
Not according to what I read on the Canadian website about cannabis and the topic is Canada legalizing cannabis.

Cannabis has many heath risks.

I think I understand what your problem is.
You believe everything you read written by the government.

From your very own words...... sometimes they lie. ;)
 

Once again Camper , that’s your perception. Most people find me light hearted and very entertaining, especially regarding my humour. I think you are just being a poor loser.






From your profile.




I’m an introverted loner. I connect with animals and nature more than with people.

Yes and your point being? :shrug:
 
My profile also states that I’m kind hearted, which I am.
Im fun loving , which I am.
It also says I have a sense of humour and am easily amused

Whats any of THAT got to do with this debate about cannabis?

Its like the pregnant question . Stuff that’s completely irreverent.

Is there something wrong with connecting with animals more than people?
There are many people that are animal lovers. I happen to be one of them.

Whats that got to do with this conversation ?

QUOTE=Keesha;908186]The government were the people who created reefer madness. It was purposely made to create panic in the general population. The government didn’t want people using plants from the earth to heal themselves. It would interfere with all the artificially made pharmaceutical drugs they wanted to sell us.


Of course it’s not going to say that on their website. It’s also not going to say that they failed at their attempt to be the main supplier for everyone wanting to do cannabis but you wouldn’t know about that.

You are contradicting yourself. The government is promoting it. They are the ones making it legal.

There is such a thing a propaganda.

And there is such a thing as truth being called propaganda.
I’m not being vindictive. I’m being assertive in being right and if you don’t like that. Too bad.

Nonsense. You are making personal attacks and using every weapon in your arsenal.




Yes, so I say and so do my doctors at the current moment. Those people who actually have credentials to state such things.

So now you believe the doctors and their credentials?



Yes I am legal because I applied for it and I got licensed because I’ve never been in trouble with the law before and met all government expectations. Meaning much of that had to do with ME. They don’t just hand out the licences to anybody who applies for one but you wouldn’t know that .

I wasn't interested enough to find out. The topic here is legalizing cannabis in Canada.

You are in favor, and I am against. But instead of discussing it in a polite manner you go after me with personal remarks.


What have you missed?
The fact that I stated I was 100% legal right from the start and everything else in between; like others besides me have pointed out .

That's just your own personal opinion which you are entitled to. No you did not state you were 100% legal right from the start.
Yes my doctors records of my personal health DOES prove it. Even my doctors are impressed and they ARE qualified to comment on it whereas you aren’t.

You are quoting doctors records and I can quote similar from mine.




I’m posting in the exact same style you are and the same way other people post when they are in a debate. That’s why it’s called a debate. One person stated their opinion and the other person counters their opinion with comments of their own .
You have gotten as many jabs in as I have.

I think you are kidding yourself. Your personal comments bely your claim. Any jabs I made are to defend myself from your ridiculous opinions about me.


You asked if I would take it while pregnant? I’m not pregnant and never have been? It’s impossible for me to be pregnant so of course it’s a ridiculous question.

No it's not a ridiculous question. The question is that it's harmful when pregnant. You avoid answering by claiming it does not apply to you personally. But it's a general question.


It’s a crazy as me asking you if you would use if you were pregnant.

I hope you are not that crazy. Even though my claim is that it is harmful to take it while pregnant. You just sidestep that claim.
If you ‘think’ you are great at reading into words then once again you are wrong
.

I don't have to be great. I just copy them over and reply to them.

I’m not angry. I’m not hurt. Perhaps you are adding a mood to my words because that is how YOU feel so you presume I feel the same. I don’t.

You have made many personal comments about me that are not accurate and I have to keep defending myself from your accusations.
It’s not Camper . It’s Camper6.?
Oh you poor thing. I forgot the 6 after your name. Who cares!!!!!! :shrug: So what!
I guess you’re not wearing your big boy pants today.

See this is your style of posting. You are deliberately insulting me.

I’m not trying to change your mind. I’m merely proving you wrong.
You haven’t changed my mind either but I have to admit I find you amusing.

Well you haven't proven me wrong. I don't find you amusing. Far from it.
My man has temporary melt downs now and then also when he doesn’t get his way. The characteristics are similar.
It’s quite entertaining at times I must admit.

I have no idea about that. I have never met your man or know what his characteristics are. Here again you are being deliberately nebulous trying to make a point that has nothing to do with me.

I’m retired too.


Have a lovely evening now.

You have already spoiled it deliberately so why are you pretending otherwise.
 
You aren’t a very good debater Camper.
You keep going way off topic with things that aren’t relative to the debate like:
If I was pregnant would I take it?
What my personal profile says about me.
I am not adding the number SIX to your name.
I’m upsetting you and ruining your evening
I’m attacking you and using everything in my arsenal?

Oh goodness! You really ARE acting like you are being attacked.

Seriously??

So you ARE getting upset.

If you can’t handle a debate then perhaps you shouldn’t get involved in one.
I wasn’t pretending. I don’t need to pretend.

You just don’t get it and that’s ok.
I am OK with you not understanding and I’ll leave it at that.

Have a lovely evening and I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Some warm cocoa might help you some.
Life is far too wonderful to get upset over internet stuff.

I figured you were getting frustrated but honestly had no idea you were actually getting really mad but I’m certainly not taking responsibility for how you feel. That’s your responsibility , not mine.

I’ll still never understand what my profile has got to do with this entire conversation and if that isn’t getting personal I’m not sure what is.

Please just remember; you were the one that stated that Canada was getting dumbed down, not me.

I happen to think very highly of our country and the people in it. In my opinion I think we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and with some of the nicest people ever who I don’t think are dumb.

If in this debate, I have hurt your feelings and upset you , I apologize.
It was a debate. You got in plenty of personal jabs yourself.
I could go back and pick them all out but I was too focussed on the issue at hand, not in discrediting you as a person.

You stated that the only qualifications you needed was to be able to read and I countered that with information proving that this isn’t the case and gave examples.

You didn’t like that ........ but that’s what debating us all about.

What’s that saying?
If you can’t handle the heat then get out if the kitchen?
 
I'm Canadian. I'm dead against it.

if you knew how much trouble and lives being destroyed by alcohol and drugs you don't need one more problem in the mix.

There is no test for driving impaired with cannabis.

Also so it's like gambling. I never gambled until it was legal. Now I'm hooked.

in spite of all the laws young people under age will use it.

Enforcement will be a nightmare and suck more of our police resources.

The police chiefs were against it.

Im not happy with dumbing down Canada. We used to be a proud nation looked up to. Unlike the states this is Federal and all the provinces are affected and have to go along with it.

We have a reserve problem in Canada with poverty and poor living conditions. This won't help.


My point goes over everyone's head. You can make all the laws you want but it doesn't mean someone is not going to pay attention and do whatever they feel like.

My old man logic tells me there are laws against speeding and yet we arrest hundreds every day.

My old man logic tells me there are laws against driving impaired and yet hundreds are arrested every day.

My old man logic tells me there will be a law for smoking marijuana in vehicle including passengers. How that's ever going to be enforced is beyond me when there's no law against smoking cigarettes.

I saw a sign on the back of a vehicle. If it's too loud you're too old.
Yep. It's still too bloody loud.


Militant anti smoker huh? Government's promoting all kinds of programs to quit smoking and then allowing cannabis to be smoked anywhere smoking is allowed. Warnings on cigarette packages.. It's a farce.
Do you believe the government or not believe them???

I doubt many will go the cookie route. Sucking it into the lungs is the most popular method.
Not for everyone

For what. Cannabis plants? I'll be waiting and I'm far from wrong. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

No. Not for Cannabis plants. I’m licensed to grow my own :smug1:
In the states only certain states that legalized it made it legal. If you didn't like it you could move to a state that didn't legalize it.

In Canada it's Federal. Nowhere to move to. I can't stand smoking and I cant stand cannabis. It stinks. And the word itself sounds like a can of urine.

Camper, your point isn't going over anyone's head here. It is faulty logic.


No that is faulty logic. In fact extreme faulty logic. It's being used now illegally . Making it legal will make it worse not better.

We all know how well that works.


So if enough people break the law, then make it legal and they will stop breaking the law? Why not do it with murder. Legalize it. Suddenly it's fine.

Isn't it better to have the pot smoking legal and out in the open, where at least the quality is under government control, than to have a black market, with criminals running the empire?

Not it's not better to have the government approve it and run it under government control. The government has been known to be dishonest in it's undertakings.

If it's illegal enforce the laws don't legalize it. That's stupid logic. The black market will still be there and undercutting government prices because they don't have to charge taxes on the underground prices. Just watch and remember. I told you about it here. And now you will have to have more police survelliance and enforcement to make sure the government doesn't get screwed out of their share.

The amount of revenue coming from marijuana sales that the government gets will not offset the budget for enforcement.
Speaking of contradicting yourself. Your quote: The government has been known to be dishonest in its undertakings. End quote. YES they have been known to be dishonest which is why I do my own research and not trust theirs.
Canadians are the same as people all over the globe.

You can step on my tail by accident but if you do it on purpose better watch out.
Im stepping on your tail as much as you are stepping on mine.

They will continue to do what they are doing now. Anything to make money instead of hard work. They will be undercutting the legal merchants prices who have to collect taxes on the sales.

If 18 is the legal age they will sell to the underage who can't get it legally. Once you are hooked you are an easy target.


I have already told you from my first post that I am against it. I have been polite and did not make any personal comments and stuck to the topic.
No you didn’t stick to the topic. You brought up stuff that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
There ARE laws against smoking cigarettes in cars. You are not allowed to smoke anything in a car with children in it and the fines are HUGE.
I doubt that is accurate. The long term effects on the lungs is the same as smoking.
They will do both. They are doing both now. I doubt there wiill be less violence and deaths. States that have legalized marijuana haven't seen a decrease in crime.
In spite of the laws, young people under age will use it?
Yes we know that. But making it legal makes it easier to get.
Legallizing marijuana is not going to stop that for underage children.
The dealers will be selling stuff with higher THC levels. More bang for the buck.
I'm not interested. Sucking stuff into your lungs and impairing your brain is harmful regardless of your high standards. The only thing that works is not smoking it in the first place.
Wait. I thought someone here posted that there is not one recorded death due to marijuana.
Enforcement will be a nightmare and suck more of our police resources?
Not according to the police. That's your opinion. They will still have to enforce the law.
That's not a logical reply. They are against it for a reason.
We are dumbing down Canada?
There are studies that support my contention.
In today's mail from the government announcing the Cannabis Act. Here's what you need to know.
Know the health effects. Like alcohol and tobacco, cannabis has risks, especially for youth and young adults.

www.Canada.ca/Cannabis
And your point is exactly what?
It hasn't been put into effect yet so how do you know that? If you think cannabis is going to save Canada from debt you are whistling in the dark.
I'm starting to wonder now on this thread who are the users now.
The ladies doth protest too much.
Marijuana should never be used by young people but neither should alcohol or anything else that affects the brain. Their brains haven’t fully developed yet. I’m not disagreeing in the least.
No I'm not a doctor. Do I have to be a chef to recognize a good meal? I can only go by what I read in scientific journals and even the Canada website provided with my mail in. If it has health risks then it's not healthy.
Doctors are prescribing it as a medical drug to alleviate pain\ mainly because the patient requests it. They don't prescribe it for everyone. It doesn't work in every patient.
That doesn't make it healthy because of side effects.
And sucking smoke into your lungs is not healthy ever and I don't care what kind of smoke it is.
Call it what it is. A recreational drug. People smoke it because they get a high from it.
www.Canada.ca/Cannabis
The province of Quebec will raise the age that it can be bought and consumed to 21 from 18.
Sucking anything into your lungs is unhealthy. I also haven’t disputed that.
No you aren’t a doctor but stating that you don’t have to be a chef to recognize a good meal doesn’t quite cut it.
Merely having the ability to read doesn’t qualify you for anything except that you can read.
The only qualifications I have is the ability to read. If the ones that are in charge of making the rules state that there are health risks then I believe it.
That's the nature of addiction. Yes I know. And most people have far more control of their temper than what I read here.
Your personal experience means nothing. How do you know you wouldn't be even healthier if you have never used anything.
Well you are taking illegal drugs if you use marijuana.
So what? What does that prove? If you didn't indulge maybe you could cut and chop 6 cords.
You only have one problem. You are a bit on the crabby side.
That also means zilch. I'm telling you it has health risks. Would you take it if you were pregnant?
Well I have never smoked cigarettes or marijuana and I'm 85 years of age and healthy. I was an accountant and I have a good memory. Apparently it affects the brain so perhaps if I had indulged I wouldn't have a good memory. I am educated enough to make substantial claims against it. I read the warnings and the risks posted at www.Canada.ca/Cannabis. You should try it.

I'm not wrong about one thing. The ones that claim that cannabis settles you down and makes you peaceful are wrong and that's obvious after reading the comments here.
The ones in charge of making the rules are the government. The same government that you previously stated have a tendency to lie in their favour so can’t be trusted. Now suddenly you trust them again for this purpose.
You stated I’m taking illegal drugs when I stated many times that I’m legal. You also kept stating that it’s bad for my lungs and just as bad as smoking cigarettes. This is incorrect. Tobacco smoking is far worse than smoking marijuana but smoking isn’t good for the lungs period. Unfortunately we can’t force people to do it the way you would like or how the government would like. That’s humanity for you.

And the ones that smoke marijuana do exactly the same thing but there is something wrong with their brains.
ok.


We have alcohol out in the open and the quality is under government control.

What has it done for us?
ahhh here you go again. So do you trust the government or don’t you because you keep flip flopping back and forth here.
You trust that the government knows what they are talking about and that we should all listen to what they have to say and then out of the other side of your mouth you criticize them. You are contradicting yourself.

You break the law? You pay the price. It's simple. Federally it's not legal in the U.S.
Ive never been in trouble with the law in my life.

That's nonsense. It doesn't say that on the website.

Then act like it instead of being vindictive.

So you say. The miracle drug. Cannabis.

If you are legal it's because you were given permission by a medical professional.

What have I missed so far? I copy over your rants and reply to them.

It doesn't prove that at all because you have no comparison for yourself to go by.

You are posting to me.. And my perception is that you are not light hearted and certainly not entertaining or funny.

It seems to me you are being mean and vindictive simply because I don't agree with you.

I'm not grasping at anything. I merely copy over your posts and reply to them. That's why. I have to defend myself against your inane allegations.

The truth. Which I posted.

You don't answer the question. The risks for taking it while pregnant are stated. Are you saying they are not accurate?

It's an honorable profession. Your qualifications don't give you the ability to judge others.

Of course. Words speak volumes.

It's Camper6. You can't even get that right.

Your rambling rants haven't changed my mind.

I'm retired.
What insane allegations have I made?
My qualifications don’t give me a right to judge others?
No! They don’t and neither does your lack of qualifications give you a right to judge others and yet that’s all you have done is judge others. I’ve read all your posts over again to see if perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying and I don’t think so.


I doubt it. The big cartels sell billions in prescription drugs.
What prescription drugs are the big cartels selling?
How are they getting them and who are they selling them to?
Do you think people are doing illegal drugs?
Do you think children are using them?

Legalizing cannabis will not change that.
How do you know what legalizing cannabis will do? It hasn’t even been done yet?

With every prescription there is a risk.. There are side effects. It's explained on every prescription drug you take.
The doctors don't prescribe it for everyone. They determine that the benefits are worth the risk.
Yes! Every drug has side effects but it doesn’t stop doctors from prescribing them. Some of the side effects can be far worse than the ailment for using them but they still get prescribed everyday.
You stated that doctors only prescribe marijuana because patients ask for it.
Thats right. Marijuana is a natural drug made by Gods natural pharmacy.
Natural herbs cannot be patented which is why it is not being offered as a prescription. Doctors make no money off of it or any other natural substance. Marinol is made from marijuana and it is readily prescribed along with the other dozens of pharmaceutical drugs being made from cannabis and the ONLY reason why it is getting suggested and prescribed is because there is money to be made by ALL the medical field. Marijuana in its natural form is not lucrative enough for conventional medicine to consider because they are conventional. Conventional medicine is generally the quick fix solution.
Most people are looking for a quick fix so this works fine for those people. Others prefer a more preventive natural approach which is where I sit.

Im not against doctors in the least. Our society would be lost without them. People need doctors. People need modern medicine. It definitely has a place in our society. That’s not my issue.

My issue is that every person should have a choice in how they decide to care for themselves. Whether that’s the conventional method or a holistic approach, the choice should always be available. That choice was taken away from us by our government years ago for reasons that are controversial. Not everyone is going to agree but that’s the way life is. We don’t all agree.
I’m not trying to change anybody’s mind about their own personal decision to live life how they want. I’ve always been into holistic health and always will be but that’s not unusual. There are many people who prefer to live a holistic lifestyle.

My main objective is that most people’s information about cannabis is outdated because the governments information is outdated. The reason being is that they have their own agenda . It was much more beneficial to the government to criminalize it than make it legal which is why “reefer madness “ propaganda was made by the government. They had no way of patenting it back then, which is where the money is. Now that patenting technology has advanced, miraculously marijuana has suddenly become recognized. Coincidence? I think not.

I’m not personally against you Camper. My posts may have come across as overinvested in the subject matter but I’ve fought hard for my right to treat myself holistically for years and am extremely proud of my efforts. Yes I got overly zealous in some of my replies directed towards you for which I truly apologize.

You have every right to object to not wanting marijuana to be legalized. You did post some valid statements about it which need to be considered. We both went off topic. We both got in personal jabs. We both strongly disagreed with each other BUT that IS what debating is all about. Now I also understand why politics was taken off the board. This IS politics and discussing politics causes debates. Debates cause friction. I’m sorry to have caused friction.

I will leave this thread by shaking your hand and saying that we will agree to disagree . I honestly don’t dislike you.
 
...but not as much help as some of those warm chocolate homegrown homemade "Canna Cookies" would...especially the butterfly shaped ones. :laugh: What's that song? "I'll Fly away oh glory, I'll fly away. Hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away" :eek:nthego:

I feel a sudden need to bake cookies coming on.

Oh thank goodness ! Humour! A day without humour is like a day without sunshine’.
Thanks ladies. :thankyou1: Gotta love the ladies in this place. They are the BESTEST!!!!
 
You aren’t a very good debater Camper.

On the contrary. I get many complimentary notifications.

You keep going way off topic with things that aren’t relative to the debate like:
If I was pregnant would I take it?
A perfectly legitimate question.

What my personal profile says about me. Which belies what you claim.

I am not adding the number SIX to your name.

Correct. You are supposed to use the forum name. It's in the rules.
I’m upsett
ing you and ruining your evening
This is supposed to be a friendly forum. You are anything but.

I’m attacking you and using everything in my arsenal?
My mistake. You have lots left over.

Oh goodness! You really ARE acting like you are being attacked.
Your comments are not complimentary.

Seriously??
Yes


So you ARE getting upset.
How did you know?

If you can’t handle a debate then perhaps you shouldn’t get involved in one.
I am handling it.
I wasn’t pretending. I don’t need to pretend.
You do.
You just don’t get it and that’s ok
.
I get it and you don't.
I am OK with you not understanding and I’ll leave it at that.
I do understand. You don't.

Have a lovely evening and I hope you feel better tomorrow.
You are pretending again. You don't really care.
Some warm cocoa might help you some.
I don't like cocoa. And I don't need help.

Life is far too wonderful to get upset over internet stuff.
Then why do you continue to do it.

I figured you were getting frustrated but honestly had no idea you were actually getting really mad but I’m certainly not taking responsibility for how you feel. That’s your responsibility , not mine.
You say nasty things that are not accurate. They are personal attacks. I defend myself against your baseless accusations.
I’ll still never understand what my profile has got to do with this entire conversation and if that isn’t getting personal I’m not sure what is.
You made a claim which was completely contradictory to your profile claim.

Please just remember; you were the one that stated that Canada was getting dumbed down, not me.
Of course. That was part of my claim for opposing legislation.

I happen to think very highly of our country and the people in it. In my opinion I think we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and with some of the nicest people ever who I don’t think are dumb.
Anything that affects the brain which is claimed by the scientific and medical community is making people dumber than they are.
If in this debate, I have hurt your feelings and upset you , I apologize.
Sorry. Too late. Too many insults.

It was a debate. You got in plenty of personal jabs yourself.
I could go back and pick them all out but I was too focussed on the issue at hand, not in discrediting you as a person.
Well maybe the personal jabs were in retaliation to your unsubstantiated insults and I was defending myself.

Yo
u stated that the only qualifications you needed was to be able to read and I countered that with information proving that this isn’t the case and gave examples.
I don't agree.

You didn’t like that ........ but that’s what debating us all about.

I know what debating is all about. Making personal insults is not debating. I was taught debating in grade five.
What’s that saying?
If you can’t handle the heat then get out if the kitchen?

I love heat. I thrive on it and I don't back down from bully tactics.
 
Oh thank goodness ! Humour! A day without humour is like a day without sunshine’.
Thanks ladies. :thankyou1: Gotta love the ladies in this place. They are the BESTEST!!!!

Passive aggressive people will sometimes veil insulting, critical, derogatory or generally aggressive comments with humor. The patina of humor makes the comment seem like a joke, not to be taken seriously, all in good fun, and it safeguards the aggressive person. If someone gets offended, they are being too serious, can't take a joke, and so they cannot voice their upset without seeming to be the one escalating the situation, when in fact it was the aggressor who did that.

 
I will leave this thread by shaking your hand and saying that we will agree to disagree . I honestly don’t dislike you.

I don't believe you and I'm not interested in "friendly enemies."

I have been on this forum for quite a few years now. I have never seen anything like it coming from you and your supporters.

This is supposed to be a friendly forum. You and your supporters are anything but friendly.

I'm surprised the moderators haven't stepped in and closed the thread.

Aw, C'mon Camper. Lighten up. You're 85 years old. Doncha wanna have at least one Marijuana high before you check out? Just to see what all the hoopla is about? :bigwink:
 
Well done, Keesha! :thumbsup1:

Camper your problem imo, is you just cannot give up having the last word. You'll get the last word, no matter how irrelevant it might be- or die trying. This makes a person appear to be childish.

You know something Camper. I did nothing wrong.
Out of consideration for you, since you were being such a poor loser I apologized .
I did NOTHING wrong. You on the other hand have criticized almost everyone in this thread. I can pick them all out if you’d like.

This IS a friendly forum . It’s too bad YOU aren’t being friendly.
You are having a melt down.
I did the ‘mature’ thing and offered an olive branch. You refused to accept it.
I’m quite certain others can read also which is why you have people telling YOU to lighten up.

Theres a big difference between assertive and aggressive. I asserted myself. You didn’t like it.
Oh well. I apologized for you getting bent out of shape, which is a bit crazy on my part.

Keep blowing this thing into something it’s not.

I have only been on the forum for 6 months and have never seen ANYONE call you Camper6, nor I have I ever seen you correct any of the other members who call you Camper with no 6.

You seem to be slipping over the edge. Then to go to my profile to see if there is anything there you could pick on me for is the ultimate in lameness. At least I stuck to the context of the conversation.

I did nothing wrong. I’ll ask again what wrong accusations have I made to you?
I asked before but you decided instead to pick on me about irrelevant things.


Ill answer that for you ! None. You just want to keep on fighting. Well go ahead. Keep picking on everyone else also like you have been doing.

If you have suddenly turned me an enemy because you don’t like something I’ve said well I can’t really do much about that then can I? I’m also not really too concerned about it. Oh well. It’s incredibly lame but if that’s how you choose to be then the loss is yours.

Hate away. I choose not to hate. Hating is merely an easy path to choose for people who don’t have the integrity to handle adversity. . Some people can hate in an instant. You clearly are one of them.

I refuse to hate you Camper. I feel sorry for you but I don’t hate you.

How you’ve turned a lighthearted humourous comment into some type evil is beyond me.
Look in the mirror. YOU, are the aggressor here (like others are trying to tell you ) but you’ve got custom blinders on.

Have a lovely day Camper. I hope you find something in your day to help decompress your venomous attitude but I somehow doubt it.
