Yes, today is the day that pot is legal in Canada. Nothing is really going to change. There might be a few more that smoke up, but overall I imagine the numbers will remain pretty close to the usual. It's not like it being illegal has stopped a lot of people. Personally I would rather be around someone smoking pot than drinking. I don't like the stuff personally. But it's going to make it a lot easier for those that use it medically for pain, anxiety etc. They just won't be able to visit the US anymore that's all.

a canadian forum friend of mine just notified everyone that its now legal to be a pot head in canada as of today...oh joy... Catching up with Washington state, huh? Knowing that quite a number of the states have legal pot makes me wonder why it's such a huge issue for those coming from Canada to the States that might use pot. It's a prescription here and has been for awhile. So how can anyone tell someone they can't take their prescription on holidays? Does that make any sense? Especially with the amount of opiods that must cross the border all the time, it makes absolutely no sense at all.

I've found it somewhat interesting the number of people I know of who opt not to use the pot in social situations where it is being passed around. On the other hand, it's quite interesting to see the types who go shopping in the pot shops. Ironically, I know a couple of people who stopped using even though it became legal. Weird world.

I have never liked it so it doesn't matter if it legal or illegal for me. Probably the same for anyone that doesn't use it. However, as far as dangers in drugs go, pot is the bottom of the list. Pretty hard to OD on pot. The ingested oils etc. can be more of problem, but even them, you'd have to ingest quite a bit before you'd have problems. Working with inmates and sometimes working AA and NA I would have to say Pot is the least of our worries.

What had become a really serious problem here right about the time it was legalized in Nevada was how many people, especially kids, who bought the questionably legal marijuana substitutes and overdosed on it. That was really deadly -- we had three ambulances at my school in one day who were called for kids that had become wildly disoriented and paranoid. That appears to have diminished greatly in the last couple of years. The present opioid nightmare seems not to be affecting Nevada nearly as much as it is some of the states in the mid-west, though the government is seriously restricting the purchase of cough medicine, etc.

They are a problem no question. I do think that the people who prefer pot don't feel the need to take opiods. And for pain patients that take pot and it works, it's a better solution than opiods because there isn't the same dependence issues that there is with coming off opiods. So who knows. One thing I do know from talking to lots of users in those meetings, was those who just were infrequent users, they found that they were more prone to paranoia than those who used all the time. It also was noticeable that those who used all the time didn't get impaired like infrequent (friday night) type users. It's that way for opiods too. It becomes the body's norm and stops the overwhelming sense of impairment. It's a subject that has many factors to it.

Of course, there isn't always the same "recreational" value to medical marijuana as with the other kinds.

But if they are using the smoke using a vape, it's pretty much the same effect as someone who is using it recreationally. Smoke is smoke.

Mental Health Reference
How Does Marijuana Affect You?
www.webmd.com/mental-health/marijuana-use-and-its-effects#1Medical marijuana is now legal in a majority of states. A small but growing number of states and cities have legalized recreational pot as well. Marijuana still is the most commonly used illegal drug in the U.S.
Marijuana has some well-proven benefits, including relief for long-term pain. But smoking marijuana can have some bad effects on your health, including making breathing problems worse.
The federal ban on marijuana makes it hard to study its effects on humans. For example, very little research exists on edible marijuana.
Key Chemicals
Marijuana comes from the dried flowers of the plant Cannabis sativa. It has more than 500 chemicals. Cannabis can have a psychoactive -- or mind-altering -- effect on you.
THC: This is the main psychoactive agent in marijuana. Its full name is delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. When you smoke cannabis, THC goes from your lungs into your bloodstream and then into your brain. It stimulates the part of your brain that responds to sources of pleasure, like food and sex. That lets loose a chemical called dopamine, which causes the high.
THC’s effects can vary depending on who you are, the potency of the strain, whether you smoke it or eat it, and other things. It can: Give you a relaxed sense of well-being Heighten your senses, like make colors seem brighter Change your sense of time Make you anxious, afraid, or panicked Make you hallucinate
CBD. Also called cannabidiol, this is another well-studied compound. It doesn’t make you high. Instead, it can counteract the effects from THC and bring you down from any paranoia or anxiety.
You can get cannabis into your body in two main ways: smoking and eating.
Smoking. This, along with inhaling (vaping), is the fastest way for marijuana to work. Your bloodstream carries the THC to your brain so quickly that you may start to feel high within seconds or minutes. The amount of THC in your blood typically peaks in about 30 minutes, then tapers off in 1-4 hours.
Ways you can smoke cannabis include:
Rolled into a cigarette In a pipe or water pipe, called a bong In a cigar that has been hollowed out and refilled with marijuana, called a blunt In the form of sticky resins that have been drawn from the cannabis plant. Resins often have much higher amounts of THC than regular marijuana.

Since doctors have been trying to get me to try it for chronic pain, I have been doing some research into it first. I like to know what I'm taking... before I take it ha! Most of the medical marijuana I have been researching is the ingested type, the oils. Also, CBD without the THC which is the component that get you high. CBD has been very successful in treating children with seizures. It's also supposed to be good for inflammation. There are so many different strains out there now it's hard to research the best ones for pain and inflammation. Overall it seems that a combination of the two in oils are the best for chronic pain. One deals with the inflammation and the other with the pain. Some people say it's changed their lives for the better. I am not sure.

My two daughters use medical marijuana for pain -- both have had multiple spinal surgeries, and it has made both their lives much more enjoyable. Neither ever gets high, and they both have learned how to use it in cooking. Their brownies are delicious, but I certainly didn't get a high from it. Ten Tylenol a year solves my pain problems.

I can see why the gun shop would move away from the pot shop.
The gun shop figured the pot shop would cut down on their sales.
Those who would buy cannabis would be more apt to mellow out and figure that they didn't need a gun after all!

That's what I've found in my reading anyway. But it doesn't work for everyone. She could take the CBD oil and that is supposed to help with inflammation, which is so often the cause of pain for people with arthritis. And, it doesn't get you high because it's THC free

My AM morning show moderates interviewed some pot expert, I forget his background. The question was, will pot replace Californias wine country in the Napa valley? Why wouldn't it, pot is eight times more profitable per acre than grapes? The pot expert said Napa valley isn't at risk, but the Central coast is approving growth permits at a record pace. This included the Pismo Beach area, where the flower industry was recently decimated from cheaper flower imports from Columbia. Ironically, the decimation of the flower industry resulted from America promoting flower production in Columbia in an attempt to curb their cocain production.
Recreational drug use is a sin. It's induces an artificial reality, that placates and stimulates us into the sin of avoiding more challenging, but more productive lifestyles.
Lots of young kids where I work drink and drug to excess. I asked recently, aren't they interested in women (guys out number women employees here two to one approximately)? Nope...they'd rather drug.

Oh, geeze, Lee!
I kinda' feel sorry for you!
You must not have much joy in your life. No wine, even?
I am started some raspberry wine today. I hear it bubbling away right now.
I am going to try to start some persimmon wine tomorrow.
I haven't tried that before.
