    Why isn't it? It's an item that is produced, transported and sold. No different from cigarettes, alcohol, apples or scooters.

    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.

    The place with the rampant heroin problems?

    Sorry, but no problems with heroine here. Sometimes we get the occasional Englishman trying out magic mushrooms and then jumping naked from a hotel, sometimes someone gets sick from partying too hard on XTC, but that's about it. No opioid-crisis either.

    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.

    So you're allowed to state things you think are true are fact, without evidence, and I can't call you out on it? Seems to me you're just trying to wriggle out of defending what you say.

    That makes no sense. No admission that your argument was indeed a straw-man one. Figures.

        Irrelevant, we were discussing the supply and sale of it.

        There is no argument against conjecture as it isn't a valid argument in the first place; all I was doing was pointing that out to you.

        It was. I said there were stronger versions of the drug, and by that I was referring to the synthetic versions of cannabis such as spice and so on. You claimed I said there were stronger versions of the plant. There are stronger versions of the drug. There are stronger versions of the plant. Do you see how those are not the same thing? Or are you so belligerent that you'll simply never admit you are wrong despite it being as clear as the nose on your face?

          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.

At least you now seem to admit that there are indeed different variations of the drug, some more dangerous than others. 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).

                Just out of interest: 1. Has the "street price" of pot dropped, now that it is legal? 2. What will the (illegal) pot dealers now do for a living? Inquiring minds wish to know...

                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.

                They will probably upgrade to cocaine and other still illegal drugs.

                      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:

                      Your bother-in-law is a carpetbagger. He is lazy, and pot legalization will change nothing to that. It is just an excuse. Don't generalize based on a bad example.

                        Again you're trying to drag things off-topic. We were discussing how your argument was clearly a straw-man one. If your arguments are sound why are you trying so hard to abandon them?

                          You never "dealt with government for a license"? And an previously illegal dealer would alreay have a network, no need to build it.

                          No, just pointing out that "synthetic weed" is not weed. It will also not be covered by weed-legislation.

                                      Your bother-in-law is a carpetbagger. He is lazy, and pot legalization will change nothing to that. It is just an excuse. Don't generalize based on a bad example.

What I did not disclose is that he retired at the ripe old age of 52...actually feigned an injury and accepted a settlement. :| My point was that his financial situation has gotten worse since he now spends almost $300 a month for pot because he 'needs' it.
