They already have fentanyl and oxycodone Waiting for approval from the drug companies? When you have something that is proving to be a better option than anything on the market for epilepsy, and PTSD yet claim it has no medical use that smacks of some more ‘ignore the science’ and be lead instead by those with vested interests.

I am not saying there isn’t shitty weed out there being sold on the black market but there are a lot of LPS getting fined for using banned substances as well in Canada.
Yeah definitely an article to scare people away from black marketo sellers. When I show people my grow and they can see its all organic they say why dont the LPs grow this way, it’s a much safer product to use.

I still say if the whole gateway thing is even real it’s alcohol. Most kids snag a beer before anything else. The whole argument that part of the gateway experience is the procurement of an illegal substance and the deception learned/employed in getting and using it is the difference is bunk too. It’s illegal to that kid and the same behavior would be at work with a beer as any other substance.

Current regulations dictate that a product may not contain more than 10 mg of THC, while some illicit products contain over 100 mg of THC.
“I think that 10 mg limit is something that is driving people to the illicit market and it’s something perhaps we should have more conversation around,”
Tell me something I don’t know CBC

Who funded the study? I doubt it was illicit suppliers? Also if the study did not support the views of those funding it, I doubt it would be released. I trust no one of presumed authority.

Study: Legal Cannabis Markets Experienced Far Fewer Cases of Vaping Illness
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eventually acknowledged that vitamin E acetate – a diluting agent sometimes present in counterfeit, unregulated vape pen products – was responsible for the outbreak.
New data published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence reported that cases of EVALI were more than 40 percent lower in legal cannabis states and that they were over 60 percent lower in jurisdictions that permitted home cultivation. Home grow laws were also associated with fewer incidences of consumers engaging in the use of marijuana vape pens.

Of the 12 supply alternatives, there are only two that I would support, and one doesn’t seem practical. That leaves “Allow Adults to Grow Their Own”.
There, problem solved.

Thats got some interesting study links in that article, I am saving that. You never know may need it in the future if I get stopped and fail a cannabis breathalyzer test. Not that the government take notice of real science, unless it benifits there agenda but I can live in hope of a precedent setting case lol.

Some experts and advocates don’t love this model. There are genuine concerns that the current commercial model of legalization will lead to “Big Marijuana”: a large industry that, similar to the tobacco, alcohol, and opioid industries, has a powerful financial incentive to market and sell its product to as many people as possible, no matter the consequences for consumers or the public more broadly.
Instead of " a large industry that, similar to tobacco, alcohol, and opiods, has powerful financial incentives" should read.
“A large industry that already exploits it’s profits from tobacco, alcohol and opiods, to bribe the government to allow more sales by changing laws in their favour” are worried about their profit margins if cannabis is legalized, without laws restricting who can grow and make all the money from it lol.
