I see Graham Meckling (he bought Stage from George Szasz, also had the Livet, I think he did some pickle bring thing too) is starting a cannabis consumption tour company.

Not a bad idea, get blazed and go eat snacks and wander around.

So it sounds like a regular tourist tour but they stop at a dispensary. It’s not like a pub crawl you gotta consume somewhere else outside in this town. Unless they’re stopping at somkeeasies

Obviously I would never smoke marihuana but if I did I’d prefer just to consume independently then go on a big open air preferably double-decker bus

Canada's competition watchdog says the federal government should consider loosening the restrictive rules on how cannabis has to be packaged and raise the amount of psychoactive ingredients that are allowed in edible products to help the industry thrive and stamp out the black market while maintaining public safety.

Those were some of the main recommendations from the Competition Bureau to Health Canada in a report published Friday.

The health agency is in the midst of updating the Cannabis Act, the federal law that made cannabis products legal in Canada since 2018.

Probably not much healthy about using pot.

^ The reason why there are potency limits is to try and limit the long term impacts of smoking high THC pot (ie mental health issues).

 

If the rationale for increasing those limits is to encourage people to avoid the black market then they will have to look deeper than that. I am told that the cost of producing pot outdoors on a FN reserve on the mainland is about 1/5th of the regulated indoors cultivation cost.

The smoking is bad for you. I think they want us all smoking again. It is better if we die out in our 60's after our productivity has gone and we become a drain on the system....

Inhaling/smoking it I certainly tend to agree although I know people who rely on cannabis to control nausea as nothing else works. A buddy is about to undergo his second kidney transplant in August and pot is the only thing that keeps the nausea at bay especially as he is dialyzing 2x/week. That process is very hard on the body and without pot he'd literally be perpetually sick. The pot relieves the nausea and allows him to function relatively normally.

 

OTOH I am a big fan and advocate of gummy edibles especially of the 10 mg per variety, and specially indica, which helps me sleep and manage the extreme (skin) sensitivity I have with a chronic circulation issue in my lower right leg just above the ankle. Three indica gummies take the edge off the irritation of the area and allow me to drift off to la-la land relatively quickly. Without them I rarely manage more than 3.5 - 4 hours of sleep nightly and almost never more than about 90 minutes consecutively.

 

IMO, due to the potential in certain circumstances for adverse effects on the kidneys, your heart and breathing rate and blood pressure, far better to take THC-infused edibles than rely on some big pharma sleeping pill.

Eventually, ASE, you’ll need 15mg, then 20mg, then 40mg, just to get the same effect.

If you’re looking for spiritual inner enlightenment unfortunately it will only come from smoking it.


I noticed cannabis only smokers seem to be able to retain their youthful appearance into older age(possibly more so than a cannabis non-smoker), tobacco on the other hand seems to add decades*

Eating it is more of a body stone. Having had to quit smoking twice, tobacco in my 20s and weed in my 40s I can tell you it’s an illusion the smoke isn’t bad for you. Moderation is more likely in a pot smoker is why. Most don’t smoke 24 joints a day like cigarette smokers. I can’t smoke anything anymore. I tried vaporizing but that’s it really much better.

[todd]

It’s a myth that the more you cough the better the weed is. Prefer strains that smoke more like air

[dasmo]

I miss it…. But I need to live longer. I have kids.

My lungs can’t do it.

[todd]

Eating it makes me too paranoid/uncomfortable feeling. I’m a healthy realist, it would be overwhelming to add that to my realism.
