what does legalization of pot in canada have to do with more slack going thru the border? BC BUD is world renowned; if Americans want it..they know where to get it. Vancouver is the pot-smoking capital of Canada after all. And dude, if you're having trouble with border officials : Get high BEFORE you go thru ; don't bring it.

Oh come on, just because you don't end up in jail for smoking pot doesn't mean that the system isn't broken.
The courts are absolutely bogged down with marijuana charges, and the police department is overloaded. When the average time for police response to any given scene is 13 minutes (avg time for a north american city is 6 minutes) then there is a problem. Fuck, you guys can't pull your heads out of your own ass for a second to realize there is a lot more at stake than your personal privacy when it comes to smoking pot. Would you say there is no problem if your house was broken into by a bunch of gang-bangers, and the cops can't do sweet fuck all because they are busy responding to a call about some 2-bit grow operation. Idiots.

Agreed, however that doesn't mean we won't be able to grow our own. If you were caught growing your own pot the worst thing that would happen is that you would be fined. It's not like if it were legalized that the only seeds and clones are locked behind titanium doors.

Suprisingly this thread has angered me greatly. There's a lot of dumb fuckin people in here. Don't get me wrong, I smoke a hell of a lot of dope. I have friends that grow, sell, and run the shit over borders. But that's no reason why I should argue against legalization. This world is a lot bigger than you or I, or your dope-smoking grow-buddies. Open your eyes.
Your buddies that grow pot are doing something illegal. ILLEGAL. You cannot in good conscience argue for the continued prohibition on pot just because some stupid kids are making a couple thousand bucks a month on it. That's just stupid. The majority of the $6 billion (est.) industry here in British Columbia is NOT run by your pal with a pound in his backpack. It is run by organized crime, people that kill, embezzle, and place enormous strains on our legal, police, and health systems. Legalize the shit out of it and tell your buddies to get real jobs or apply for a grow license. Last edited by Captain Hooj; Jun 16, 05 at 02:18 PM.

"i may be mistaken, but i don't think just any average joe would be allowed to grow pot. if the government is going to legalize it, they're going to want to make money off of it. you would probably have to buy an expensive license from the government in order to grow pot. they're not just going to legalize it and let everyone grow their own plant in their home...why would they do that? they want money, that's the whole reason for doing this, isn't it?[/quote]" - sidekick
listen buddy, if you read all my replies..I did post a quote - direct from Larry Campbell's mouth - about growing your own here it is again : " If you want to grow yourself a little bit of marijuana, you grow it. Who really cares, quite frankly " Last edited by ~ katem; Jun 16, 05 at 02:38 PM.

^dude. you should learn to read the posts before you angrily respond to them.
first, i don't smoke pot at all. i stopped doing that almost two years ago. so don't try to preach to me about the benefits of not smoking pot. i have tons of friends that smoke it every day or nearly every day and they are some of the smartest people i know. depends on the person...personally, i'm completely unproductive when stoned. second, i wasn't saying you were a pothead and that you wouldn't 'go far'. i was trying to say that if you want to sound smart at all in your editorial you wouldn't make stupid claims like 'oh well, isn't everyone in vancouver stoned all the time anyway?' as responses to someone's argument. it makes you look uneducated to make generalizations like that. both you and i know that it's not true (since neither of us are stoned). and, yeah, that's cool that Larry Campbell thinks that way, but he's not the dude that makes the rules up for this province. that would be good old Gordon Cambpell over in Victoria. i really doubt that Liberals (who are very business minded people) would allow just anyone to grow their own pot and smoke it. these are the same people that cut education and health care money so they could balance the budget...you really think they would pass up an opportunity to tax all of the pot they could? i doubt it. don't assume i'm a stupid raver. a lot of the people on these boards are very smart people with valid opinions. you just look like you can't defend yourself by calling us stupid ravers.

I never thought you were defending pot growers. My comments in that post were directed towards everyone in the thread, not just you. If they were to fully legalize pot I don't think you would legally be able to stop people from growing it. It's not illegal to distill your own alcohol. If you want to grow a tobacco plant, go for it. The government will likely provide the majority of pot to people, but not through regulations. The average person would likely only grow a couple plants which yield every 3 or 4 months, which isn't really a lot of pot. Nor is it going to be very good. That's why most people don't brew their own beer, they buy it at a store. But if you want to brew your own beer, it's within the legalization of alcohol that you are able to do so. Likewise with pot.

Ah, yes. Well I didn't miss the point, don't worry. I'm sure there will be a limit on the amount of pot one person can produce before they become a potential distributor, which would then require a license. At that point it would be like starting up a brewery or a vineyard. If people really want to, they can.

They would probably highly suggest it, and for major grow-ops they would be required. But any person with the right equipment can easily breed strains together, and produce whatever kind of seed they wanted. Which would technically be legal. They might place a potency restriction on it, so that if your crop was ever inspected and contained more THC than was allowed you would be charged. Just like moonshine is illegal because it contains an enormous concentration of alcohol, which the government deems dangerous for public consumption. It will be interesting to see what percentage of THC the regulatory board finds acceptable.

there's so many ways in which they could take the legalization of pot that it will be interesting to see what happens in the future. the licensing, potency, age restriction on buying, whether you can be stoned in public, where it's allowed to be sold, etc...

Yes, and if Kate was wise she would make her editorial about the potential outcomes of legalization. Wouldn't you Kate?
