Exactly, why would the price drop. Surely it was the lucrative tax incentive that convinced the governments to legalise it in the first place?
Now the real criminals are taking their cut!

Haha, you're the first country that takes this step, I forgot :D It is not like weed has been semi-legal in the Netherlands for years. How dumb of me. Yes, Canadians are special, there is no way of telling what they will do. Probably will all become hardcore-addicts and criminals :rolleyes: :laugh:

Woah, yeah, I'm addicted to coffee; so what? It is not like we go out robbing to see that our need is filled. Addictions come in various degrees, and while you may not like coffee, I do not see it as a reaon to send someone to rehab. Still, point was that weed doesn't do that. There's no withdrawel symptoms at all.

Very different from apples, and it strikes me as a bit funny that I need to point it out. For one, even if it is allowed in your country, you should never drive when under influence. You can have as much apples on your scooter as you like, but going stoned into traffic might cause some problems.

I see you cherry picked your examples. It's certainly no different from alcohol or cigarettes. Both are commodities that are strictly controlled, require licenses etc to manufacture or sell. Legalised cannabis is no different.

You may be selling tobacco, even if you have been to jail. Licensing is somewhat stricter. Depending on local policies, one might also need to register as a user, before being able to buy. Identification for tabac is not required if you're 50, but it is if you want to buy weed.

I'm thinking that your drivel here is irrelevant; we were talking about how it differs as a commodity from tobacco. There's even different rules for transportation - no one ever complained that I bring tobacco aboard an airplane. Don't think they'd be very happy if you try to get that high :)

Yes, bring in synthetic meat into a meat-discussion. Those designer-drugs are not available at a normal coffeeshop, and are not the topic. It also is not "the same drug".

So? We were discussing who is more likely to start selling cannabis and I said it is more likely to be the people who already peddle similar commodities as they have the infrastructure, and it's no different from the manufacture and sale of other restricted commodities. Your arguments against that are all irrelevant facts about if you can drive under the influence, if you need ID to buy and so on. None of that affects the drug as a commodity.

So? Of what relevance is that to the fact that I never said "plant"; that was your word, not mine.

Even though you've fallen short of flat out admitting you were wrong, I'll still take it.

You will need a somewhat different network than when selling booze or smokes. Most suppliers will not offer "weed" as part of their stock to order for supermarkets (who sell smokes and booze).

Interesting question. I heard (i did not go buy any myself) that the pot sold at SQDC is half of what is asked on black market. In the news, this morning, they talked about lines being so long (up to 4 hours wait) that some buyers turned to the black market.

Florida made the liquid forms legal just over a year ago. My retired brother-in-law decided that it might be just the thing to help with relief from arthritis. I didn't care. It wouldn't affect me, right? Wrong! Here are my observations over the last year. After getting his state pot license and paying a 'doctor' $120 for a 15 minute diagnosis, it's off to the dispensary where he spends around $60 a week for a couple of vape tanks and drops. Even before he was getting high every day he would call frequently...usually a couple of times a week. Nowadays it's an expected everyday event...much rambling and self-aggrandizing on his part, and lately always complaining about money. Last week, unbeknownst to me, he asked my wife to borrow money and she obliged. When she told me about it later, I suggested that he should get off the pot and get a job instead of borrowing. She had already raised the issue with his wife who's response was 'Oh no, he really needs it...he's impossible to live with when he doesn't have it'. :wtf: So, he's now chemically dependent? :confused: Also, I'm sure most employers still mandate drug tests he couldn't get a job anyway. Also, I've recently learned that he has been seeing a shrink, apparently having PTSD over the death of his 87 y/o mother....while the rest of us have moved on, he's still stuck on it...probably because he is retired, bored, and stoned. I wonder how long it will be before he needs more money. :mad:
