Calling it legal is a bit of a sham.

there are crazy regulations around it. Each house can only grow four plants. You can still only carry a certain amount on you (which is bullshit, because I can load a semi truck full of cigarettes and booze and no one from the law would look twice). Then municipalities each get to make their own rules as to where you can smoke. They are treating it like cigarettes, but 10 times worse. Some places don’t let you smoke outside your house. Like wtf.

Driving impairment charges are crazy. Instant 90 day licence suspension in Alberta if they believe you are under the influence (no solid testing methods currently exist). They fail to realize how many people drive stoned every day. It’s nothing like alcohol. I don’t doubt it may slow your reaction time, but you’re probably also driving 10km/h under the limit. Pot makes you feel anxiety... you don’t want to drive like an asshole. Alcohol makes you feel like superman and end up driving beyond your means and crash and die.

Of all all the people I know, I’d say the majority smoke. And drive. None of them drink and drive. I can’t think of anyone who’s been in a collision while smoking. And I don’t mean once in awhile. I mean day in, day out, sometimes multiple times a day. Zero accidents. Go figure.

The belief is the rules are super stringent now, but will be relaxed over time. Makes sense, as the people who make the laws likely have never smoked once in their life. They treat it like they’re legalizing heroine.

my friend, you have much to learn in your sheltered bubble

Don’t worry, little cha will be smoking soon enough. Regardless what you say.

I prefer thyme

You're a good man.

Also Yumcha, there might already be smokers in your group that no one even knows about. Lots of closet smokers that don’t want to deal with the stigmas, or whatever else. I personally was made aware of about 5 people at my last place of work that were regular smokers. I had no clue. Seemed like a typical family mom, always taking care of business. I would have never suspected.

that would be my mom

Starting this weekend. The jet lag really kicked my ass when I came back. Had to get my life back on routine also, so that took a bit, plus I had a bunch of stuff to cleanup and take care of, like finding a phone for myself and tidying up the garage so my roommate can park in there... and pay me more monies, organize the house, get the outside ready for fall/winter, blah blah.

Finally got the plan put together last night. Going to look everything over tonight, again. Start Saturday. Maybe Sunday. Ill let him decide. My old man seems to be onboard thus far. He’s been big his entire adult life, but he’s always wanted to get back down... he just wasn’t willing to spend the money on stuff like a nutritionist. Nor did he have the knowledge on how to do it without suffering.

Mama Bear is the type to trust everything she comes across the Internet. Bless her heart. She’s trying. She finds these random ass fad diets, or detoxes, or lavender oil, that never work. She wasn’t the best guide for him. But she tries.

Tea tree oil!!

The meth diet is only good for the first few months. After that, it gets real expensive with dental work, when your teeth start going missing...

OMG... I just googled “meth faces” and was horrified with what I saw

Not. Reposting.
