  • Context first:

    Canadian and I’m high more often than not, so this will be biased. I didn’t really vote to legalize exactly, it was just part of a campaign that promised voting reform. Only one of the two happened :( I didn’t use weed previous to Justin’s legalization campaign.

    That said, I’m pro decriminalization of everything for the end user, and almost all manufacturing for most drugs except the notorious ones wreaking havoc in society. Opioids and meth mainly.

    I do think we need to consider unwillful sobriety centers for these specific types of extremely damaging addicts, but that’s a tough conversation society needs to have that it won’t. Ideals over reals. They suffer in the street causing havoc and ruining public transportation all the same meantime. Then you have the Cons basically wishing them to die ignored in an alley without any aid at all and getting in the way of any action. Getting off topic here.

    Question for those of you living in a country where marijuana is legal. What are the positive sides, what are the negatives?

    Positives:

    Not sending functional or good enough people to prison for dumb cruel reasons.

    The big fear was the youth smoking more over time didn’t materialize.

    Freedumb!1! I like vaping THC quite a lot, selfish positive :)

    Cons:

    Mainly it’s a few glaring flaws in the Liberal Party rollout. There’s still government enabled social stigma.

    Given not a word was said about it in our recent election that I heard about, I’m pretty sure weed being legal is a complete non-issue for pretty much everyone voting except the nutters like MADD. Yet politicians are still afraid to finish the job properly.

    Apt name calling themselves MADD, but I don’t mean what it stands for. Treating weed like alcohol for a DUI isn’t scientifically backed and it’s puritan/prohibition minded moral panic theatrics. Then there’s the fact you can still get fired for smoking on a weekend off work if your boss drug tests you week(s) later. That’s fucking bullshit.

    Basically I just follow the data. Minimum age is too low. Getting high is bad for developing brains, I think it shouldn’t be legal to consume until the brain is done development. Age 25. That’s unpopular, I don’t care. I say the same for alcohol. That’d also kill most of the alcoholic binge drinking party culture, because 25+ hangovers and being out of grade school/college.

    If you could go back in time, would you vote for legalising again? Does it affect the country’s illegal drug business , more/less?

    Sure I would. It’s been fine.

    Big dent, not totally dead. I mean we can grow our own too. Black market is still cheaper, but they’re not selling me 510 carts. I don’t smoke weed anymore it’s disgusting. Smell, smoke, tar, cleaning, bleh. Vape. Dry toaster vape instead if scared of glycol. That works well and I used to, but it’s pretty wasteful/inefficient for a chronic user I find compared to 510 carts. Plus I can control dosage way easier. I hate being too stoned by accident. I couldn’t do this when it was illegal, so my bad habit is made a little less harmful made legal. I got options now.




  • Humans don’t plan ahead for preventables and get angry if you diminish current QoL for long term safety. We know this. Earth getting a direct hit solar flare ends civilization. There’s no divine safety guard rails, we’d just be fucked. Probably not extinction though. Just a lot of violence, extremism, and starvation getting to that point of very diminished stability again.

    I like your use of “when” because it is fairly likely to happen one day. It already has, and Morse code had just been invented IIRC. Not that long ago, just wasn’t a big deal then.

    Did you hear the news about definitive proof of rogue black holes? Billions of them exist in the milky way it is thought now zipping around fucking shit up.











  • I smoked for 11 years on and off, stopped for 1 again (I’ve stopped before) so far, and still get an urge now and then. Maybe it’s lifelong or takes decades to never feel it again, never looked into it.

    Easy to start smoking. Just live a life where you want to die every day for awhile and have somebody offer you a smoke during a break at work. Oooh, overly specific! I’m in a better place these days. Pretty easy to stop honestly the withdrawal isn’t particularly powerful. Buuut it’s persistently there waiting for a day of weakness. Much much harder to stay quit.
