As people lined up to buy cannabis at one of six Edmonton cannabis stores that opened Wednesday, a small entrepreneur stood ready to capitalize on what could be expected to be customers' future need for a sweet snack. Nine-year-old Elina Childs had a wagon full of Girl Guide cookies for sale. "We've sold cookies in the neighbourhood before with her and it's door to door. People aren't home. There's dogs and everything else," said her father, Seann Childs. "We thought, 'Where can we go to sell them?' "It just so happens that legalization was coming up in a couple of days." He and his wife talked to Elina and she thought it was a good idea. When she got home from school, she grabbed some change from her piggybank. She and her dad loaded up a wagon with three cases of Girl Guide cookies and they walked to the nearby cannabis store. She started walking up and down the lineup. "It was well received," said Childs. "People thought it was awesome. There were people telling her she was doing a great thing, that it was very innovative. There were cars stopping on the street to buy cookies from her. It was really something else. I'd never seen anything quite like that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DADDYROCK Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) It seems the government is saying that weed is legalized well then why are most regular dispensaries closed pending licensing., This is the thing, it was supposed to be ready to be legalized on Oct.17,so my question is this. Are we the people going to have to put up with this inept treatment all the time. They say smoking it is bad, so they get rid of edibles some health department of said government doing a half assed job once again.Typical bureaucracy not knowing what the hell they are doing. If it is legal, treat it as such.If some of these people couldn't get their bottle of wine they would go ballistic,it's the same type of thing. So once again the use of common sense is a thing lost to government officials.It seems like the government clowns are at it again.our tax dollars hard at work.

I think a lot of municipalities in BC are waiting until civic elections are over to begin issuing licenses... thats politics for ya the lack of edibles is pretty ridiculous but they are planning to have it done in 2019 I think, its complicated apparantely with the food safe regulations etc.. overall I agree the rollout here has been lacklustre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is impeding your right not to use when you have the option of keeping distance and staying out of smoking areas. Not sure there are many common smoking areas in public. http://simplevancouver.com/smoking-in-vancouver/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just walked my dog and the smell from 2 guys smoking must have wafted for 100 feet after I passed them. You don't smell a cigarette from that distance. It would be nice if there could be less stinky strains of the stuff, its pretty repulsive to those that don't partake. That is a rarity on these boards imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old comment was the the guy starting to rant about how bad smoke is for the body and then did a complete 180 and started whining about millenials and the their work eithic and entitlement and not wanting to work for under $30/h.... how he got on that topic is beyond me.

My wife works at a local university, she's got got non-teaching colleagues who are in their 70s..... sorry but we need to make room for younger workers.

Tsk,tsk, such blatant discrimination based on age. iirc there is something about that in the Charter of Rights, which should have actually included a few more things and been called the Charter of Rights and Responsibilities :).

I'm not saying pass a law for the private sector or exclude over 65 outright, but they should have to step aside and at least compete for the job with a younger person for public sector jobs, everyone over 18 pays into the system so younger workers have right too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coming years are going to be very different. The whole "work for a living" system is changing as automation takes over, and there will be less actual jobs for everyone. I am worried that governments seem oblivious to this change, or if they do know it's coming are keeping the solutions to themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
