‘Marijuana is infinitely worse’ than tobacco

[BioSector]

So says the current and possibly future Prime Minister of Canada. Please, any fellow Canadians, please remember to vote OCTOBER 19th for ABC (anyone but conservative). The Liberals and Green party both have legalization on their platform, NDP are up for decriminalization at least.

So out of touch with reality...

It is!

* for Big Pharma
* for those funded by Big Pharma
* people who love propoganda
* those who love prescription meds
* those who would serve you a steamy plate of fresh BS...

For me, it's the only thing that took care of my ailments!

Good luck Canada!

Thanks for posting that! I can tell you, there is only really one person I would LOVE to get in a fight with - and that is our piece of work PM Harpercrite! I like the ABC philosophy....i'm voting for Trudeau personally, not that I care for the Liberal party (they are all corrupt), but just because I know it's the best way to vote to STOP HARPER!

If Trudeau does get elected, how long do you think it would take to legalize or adopt/change laws?

I really can't believe the ridiculousness of Harper though, he obviously hasn't even heard of vaporizers or edibles, and doesn't mention any long term downsides of alcohol and tobacco? She would start prohibition again? Holy fuck this shit makes me angry, and is just another reminder that I don't need about how fucking stupid many people are. If it wasn't for the vapours of cannabis buds, I would have gone ballistic and started a killing spree by now starting with anyone with a blue fucking lawn sign!

STOP. HARPER. On Oct. 19.

here's a thought ,

The legalization of MJ has been going on for the past
8 - 10 years . 12 LPs has been approved for biz. to patients .
All of this has happened ' Under ' Harper's administration .
Even tho he may Not have put his final approval/stamp on it .
Someone in his Cabinet did ! and He knew about it ( unlike Mike Duffy )
The Tide is Not reversing at this point . imo

Harpercrite is def. speaking out both sides of his mouth .

Sure Trudeau will have a more lax stand to cannabis .
But He is NOT necessary for this .
I cannot reward Kathleen Wynn for her Dirty Deeds to my province !!!

Mulcair looks like he's too old to get behind the wheel
and drive anything competently !

So it looks like the lesser of 3 Evils for me ...

Justin said very recently at a rally that they would legalize and quickly. I hope this means done right as well though, and not just quickly. He understands the war on drugs is a failure and needs that tax revenue to pay for his plans.

That's a double edge sword .
Using my hard earned money to pay for his plans ...

I just want it legalize , even for growing .
Keep it away from Gov. handling , they don't know what they're doing !

I hate having to pay taxes for MJ , or I'm just not accustomed to it .
From black market street vendors to Med/MJ suppliers from BC .
The price is the price , no additional math to do . Or the tax is written in the
price .

I'm with an LP that charges $ 9.60/g , all the way up .
No discounts when buying larger qty , even the beer store
gives you a discounted price when you purchase more .

I realize it can be a " catch-22 " ,
I have to pay if I want to play ...

Just don't think the culture of Cannabis is going to change
in Canada with ' whomever ' gets elected , that's all . jmo

Thanks man!

I've always called them as I see them... hasn't made me the most popular, but everyone knows where I stand on an issue or where they stand with me.

In the background for now, I'll always be out here fighting for this, because it's just right. Politics? Maybe one day...

As I see it, there are 51 battles in total to be won... the last will be the greatest... First 50 states have to legalize it. Then the grand finale... The Feds... First gain the "allowances", then remove the "control".

I'd like to be part of that last battle!

Our Federal Government (Canada) PAYS for veterans to receive medical marijuana, yet it's worse than tobacco? This is guy really drives me nuts. Can't stand even watching him speak. He spouts information with ZERO facts.

Originally I thought he just followed whatever the USA leaders said but even Obama is admitting the war on drugs is a waste of time, money, encourages crime, and destroys families.

Soon as cannabis becomes legal the politicians see dollar signs. Some areas like where I live they think it's the new cash cow with whatever monetary problem is dogging the state. I live in WA state they are taxing the citizens 37% and another 10% for sales tax.

The new medical laws are absurd and aren't persuading most to get a certification at this point. You only save on the 10% sales tax and maybe a few plants to grow. Some conditions won't be covered. Plus you get your name on a registry, not sure how I feel about that? The state is still working on all the particulars yet.

We really don't know much about the registry and how or whether our family doctors will be willing to deal with giving authorizations for a medical card. Next July 2016 is when the new medical authorizations will be required.

Tobacco is worse, it causes cancer for Christ sakes. My dad died of COPD from smoking. He quit 10 years before it killed him. He coughed so hard it tore the lining from his rib cage. It hurt too bad to cough so that's why he finally was able to quit. Tobacco is a terrible addiction to overcome for most people.

@capcoho VAC doesn't buy our meds. The cost of medications related to injuries received either during training or operations is covered by Blue Cross on behalf of Veterans Affairs Canada. It's also covered by a couple of other plans. Once mmj had a DIN, or drug id number, it will covered by more plans.

And, historical the HarpoCons tried to block access to MMJ for all. Thanks to the Supreme.Court of Canada for not being filled with harpo-appointed yes men, and still capable of doing the right thing...
