What is going on with BC? We are now shifting to weed and hard substances but the government seems more concerned about cigarettes and alcohol? 🤔 doesn’t make sense
Thank you for the weed, Prime Minister Trudeau!
lmao james ‘bud’
Does not work.. big fail
Worst decision! It stinks everywhere now!
Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state across the entire U.S.A.. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can’t obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.
I left BC for waaaaayyyy south ( think Acapulco Gold ) in 96 cuz I couldnt wait. Good call Im happy , ten bucks an ounce for good bud that doesnt remove your brains like Bruce Banner and Kush. . I travelled north to Cali for my first and only dispensary experience and the eighth of White Fire OG I bought I couldnt finish in five days , waaaayyy too frikkin strong , zombie land holy handgrenades batman. I’ll stick to low thc for the duration. I buried the OG and sent my friend on a treasure hunt a year later. He never found it. ahahahahahaha
Terrible decision. Air pollution everywhere
Do what you want but keep in mind the consequences such as the cannabis-induced psychosis risks (hallucinations, delusions, and impaired thought processes) and increased risk of schizophrenia which persists after controlling for confounding variables.
Yeah how does it look now 5 years of cannabis legalization? Now all drugs are decriminalized. 1st world country packed with tent cities and crimes. Bunch of potheads turns crack addict and fentanyl junkies, needles all over towns. If you don’t stop this madness in the next 5 years all drugs will be legalization.
LEGALIZE everything. Cut off the gangsters and cartels funding and bloodshed. Pennies on the dollar to give safe domestically produced supply and give people an offramp when they are ready. Let the cartels find another product to make money from.
It’s great to see positive messaging about cannabis spreading far and wide! We support positive messaging about cannabis too!
