Canada legalises Marijuana

123kingarthur

Canada has legalised marijuana for recreational use. This could be a good thing as it will stop the illegal sale of it

also it may help other illness as well

what do you think

Too late for me to emigrate.

Ah, at last, some good news on the forum @123kingarthur

Ironic though that it comes at a time when most countries are trying to get people to stop smoking. 😀

I think it is a good thing @123kingarthur

123kingarthur

@nefarius I think it is a good idea and it appears to have some help giving substancers for other illnesses

123kingarthur

@frenchielove I agree with you and I hear it may be helpful for pain relief of migraine and if it is so I wonder what else it would help

123kingarthur

@baconbutty You may not need to as I expect other Countries will follow Canada and if it works we could find it in the supermarket pill counter

I don't think legalising it, for recreational use, is aimed at curing a headache @123kingarthur 😀

I’m still stuck on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing . Yes if it helps on a medical reason then why not , recreational I’m not so sure . Recreational drink doesn’t stop or help alcoholics . Those Vap machines hasn’t really stop those smokers who want to give up so why will legalising this drug help those drug users when its known for its paranoia properties. Surely all those mental health issues must come from these drug usage .

@nefarius I agree with you but if it works I will try it to see if it does after all these years of intense pain I could give it a try

Pardon? @gillone

E-cigarettes
An estimated 2.9 million adults in Great Britain currently use e-cigarettes and of these, 1.5 million people have completely stopped smoking cigarettes. They carry a fraction of the risk of cigarettes and can be particularly effective when combined with extra quitting support.

That's a superb idea @123kingarthur

123kingarthur

@gillone Yes that is a good point and Canada is probably hoping to cash in on it as they are growing it on a big scale - I think

@123kingarthur

@I think its a positive move. Canada has come into the 21st Century. :

I'm not condoing drug use, before anyone gets on my case. 🙂 🙂

I know its a highly emotive subject and I have seen the devastation drug use has.

123kingarthur

@claire1uk I suppose it will be interesting what happens in Canada first before we go into doing the same

claire1uk

@123kingarthur.

I can't see this country doing the same.

In the UK, no chance! Why change a system that's not working?

gillone

@nefarius , sorry I hadn’t realised you were deaf .

Call me old fashioned but replacing one vice with another isn’t giving up .

Back in my day when folk stopped smoking they STOPPED SMOKING !!!

We need more old fashioned values or we’r all gonna drown in self pity with no self worth .

Only my views

Enjoy ya day

Vaping isn't smoking @gillone

How can it be? There is no smoke. And the NHS give it the thumbs up. Simple. Why are you using being deaf as an insult? Poor show. My eyes spotted the unsubstantiated factoids!
