No, I was meaning the larger selling, cultivating, large grow ops, mass distribution, etc. Canada's always been "fairly lax" if it's just a single person smoking or whatever. Was never my bag to come down hard on any of that.
Hammer Smokin' Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 gotcha. either way, I understand a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, but always hated to hear about those who got put away from small possession. have no sympathy for those who went commercial / large scale / mass distribution. but again, cops have to do their job, no matter what that entails. I respect them regardless. 1
Hammer Smokin' Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 well, as expected, we moved in the wrong direction. It was advised the lounges that are being considered will not contain any smoking or vaping of any products. Just consumable via drinking or eating. Further, my city of Hamilton outlawed indoor hookah smoking (sisha), which up to this point was allowed in sisha hookah smoking lounges.
Fuzz Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 As I said earlier, a great revenue raiser. Every cop will have their cruiser parked a block from the lounge, waiting with a boot load of drug testing kits. I'm off to buy shares in a drug testing kit manufacturer!

Whilst I have no doubt this would be the case, there is about the same level of hypocrisy in this sort of action as the disparity between cigar vs pot consumption. Whilst driving under the influence is certainly culpable, this sort of behaviour by law enforcers reeks of a legalised form of entrapment.
JohnSlater Posted June 2, 2021 Posted June 2, 2021 I don't think I agree with that. Alcohol and smoking are worse than marijuana. In addition, everyone chooses what to harm their body with. For someone, it's smoking and alcohol. For someone, it's weed. Besides, not everyone smokes marijuana for nothing. Many people need its beneficial properties. There are many diseases whose symptoms are relieved by marijuana. Even doctors prescribe smoking marijuana for medical purposes. Thus, this is a very controversial and challenging issue. Personally, I love the THC Vape pen very much. It's much more convenient, and it's a great stress reliever for me.

Certainly one needs those cigs if they are out or they'll start acting antsy.

Don't want to go too deep into it but it helps manage the symptoms of several serious mental health conditions and sufferers are much more likely to smoke and I think that's in that direction. That is getting afflicted makes you more likely to smoke not the other way around. Marijuana is exactly the other way around, marijuana makes you more likely to get a serious mental health condition and smoking marijuana makes the condition worse. In any case the practical reality is you can overdo alcohol and marijuana and get in a very bad mental state. You could smoke 10 cigars and pilot a fighter jet.

Major revenue raiser!! Verily. The town where I work in deep west texas, the cops already do that outside the bars. And it works. At least to generate income, not to keep folks from drinking.
CommanderJWBond Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Do they have accurate ways to test for weed for a dui?I mean, effectively these are all just like pubs. Just with people getting inebriated in a different way.
