Yeah, a true liberal success story.. make a destructive drug easier to access..

At least PMJT is legalizing the right thing.

CBC Marketplace did a great piece on weed "What's in your weed" and the fact todays weed is terrible for you, as THC and CBD used to be balanced, and now CBD isn't present at all.

When producers visited seven Toronto dispensaries and collected 12 of the most popular marijuana strains, laboratory test results showed average THC levels of around 20 per cent. THC is the active ingredient that provides pot's high.

Some strains reached as high as 30 per cent THC, much higher than pot in the 1970s, when levels in Canada hovered between two to eight per cent, according to Jonathan Page, an adjunct professor of botany at the University of British Columbia.

Marketplace lab tests didn't find cannabidiol (CBD) in the strains.

Study after study points to the attributes of combining THC and CBD. The science isn't settled, but research suggests CBD can mitigate some of the negative effects that can happen with high-THC weed, including anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis.

You'd think that with legalizing it, producers would correct this issue....but it seems like they're following the tobacco industry's lead....feeding you a product with terrible side effects, and addictive.

Except Wynne has done more to "liberalize" alcohol sales than Harris/Eves ever did.

So not sure why you are conveniently omitting the PCs from your hit list.

Because I'm referring specifically to the decision Ms. Wynne's administration has made for me as to what times I'm allowed to buy unopened bottles of wine - not the "liberalization of alcohol sales."

The Harris and Eves regimes were not known for taking such care to make sure I don't accidentally kill myself.

I liked you more with your old avatar.

This one annoys me.

So obviously you'll keep it.

Of course it annoys you - it's a reminder that in just a very short timespan, Montreal will be the inferior team, and will remain so for years

I think that if we don't trade Nylander then the liberal intelligentsia not only will win, but Shillary will be placed into power!

Not sure what the terrible side effects are.. but there's side effects to anything you put in your body. Weed is addictive, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. I'm not the guy out there saying it's a miracle drug that cures cancer etc, my main arguing point is that is far safer to enjoy marijuana in public than alcohol. CBD isn't what you want anyways, unless you're using it for medicine and there's strains with zero THC in it for that. If you're worried about the harmful effect of smoking then eat or vape.. Weed just makes you relaxed and happy.. alcohol makes you an opinionated jackass and sick..

To each their own, but theres no way weed is even remotely a public health risk.

The people who will smoke weed the most will still get it from their traditional sources.

In my case, that's good Canadian outdoor. Nice mellow, chill high

Jose has options for a second and/or third season.
He left money and years on the table to sign with the Jays.

The compensation pick really screwed him over.

Oh there's side effects all right. Two of the craziest and most insanely powerful side effects in existence. So strong, in fact, that we as humans do them with or without weed, and actually need them to survive.

Of course, I mean eating and sleeping

I agree...

I find it's a completely different high, but it doesn't crush you like kush, and it makes you kinda dreamy.. OD for Life!!

Plus under the new laws you're allowed to grow your own
