avelanch Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If someone is greatly influenced under Marijuana, a police officer could find out just by observing their actions. Of course that would not be enough to charge them, but it would be enough for the police officer to dub as suspicious and take that person in for a test. This of course is only if they don't possess some portable technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I was however sad to see how easily this passed in comparison to gay and lesbian right to marry. *Unless you're gay. Then you're on your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Smoking marijuana can cause cancer. Smoking cigarettes can cause cancer. Chewing tobacco can cause cancer. Going outside can cause cancer. Smoking pole can cause cancer. Almost anything can cause cancer. As far as marijuana is concerned, less chances of cancer from consuming it using other methods besides smoking it. As far as legality is concerned, it should be legalised and un-taxed. Clueless as to this tax fetish. Laws regulating it's use in public? Yes. Tax it? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Good for them. A step in the right direction. I wish he were able to hold a referendum on the matter. It would pass with flying colours, especially if it were limited to BC. But that won't happen anytime soon I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Like the federal government in the US, Canada would first have to repudiate the international agreements that pertain including the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (which includes cannabis).

Wetcoaster Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm thinking there's a good chance Obama will instruct the DEA to give Washington and Colorado an exemption from federal marijuana laws. Now that he's re-elected he doesn't have to worry about the political implications, he is himself a former smoker, and it's within his powers as chief executive. It wouldn't be clearly outside the Single Convention to do so, because the federal laws remain on the books. Besides, the UN has no mechanism of enforcement against America even if they wanted to do something about it, besides writing a strongly worded letter or talking them down in an annual report. So what's to stop Obama and Federal law enforcement from telling Washington State, okay you guys, you set up your pilot program for comprehensive regulation of marijuana - licensing, production, distribution, sale, all of it - have an exemption, we'll see how it goes for you. Maybe Washington or Colorado's marijuana policy becomes the Romneycare to an eventual federal program - it's happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The government realizes that pot is something people can grow right? How are they gonna know if the ounce that people are carrying around was grown or bought legally from the government? Something tells me the government bud will be weak. Just a hunch.

No5Butcher Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Next up: Crystal Meth. 'No wai.' 'Yeah? Well that's what they said about pot.' When it comes to sin taxes, Where do you draw the line? Prostitution? Underground gambling including dog fights etc.? Happy pills? Crack cocaine? Whatever. Certainly gangsters don't want to lose all these markets to the government, but if pot is legalized, where are these guys going to turn for their profits? Likely harder drugs. Like crystal meth. In the end, it's a person's choice. You're probably not going to switch from weed to crystal meth. But your kids might be pushed into it a bit harder down the road. We'll see.

Primus099 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Lots of hurdles to get over to make this actually happen. State laws and fedral laws are different. The DEA can at any time come and arrest anyone they want and detain them for any amount of pot they have on them because marijuana is still considered a schedule 1 drug federally.
