Canada Legalise Weed, Renounce Religion&Reduce Guns-Hells Angels oppose Legalise Weed

[NavyDiver]

No first prize for guessing Canada Set To Legalise Weed, Renounce Religion And Reduce Guns would be a little controversial!

The Canadian Hells Angels opposition to Legalise Weed took me by surprise

Canada Set To Legalise Weed, Renounce Religion And Reduce Guns (http://www.unilad.co.uk/news/canada-set-to-legalise-weed-renounce-religion-and-reduce-guns/):D:D:D

[Mick_Marsh]

Well, there are legitimate concerns.

The move to legalise weed comes despite protests from Hells Angels members outside parliament who, according to Jean-Roch Fournier from the Canadian chapter of the Hells Angels, oppose the position as it may cost organised crime hundreds of thousands of jobs.

[NavyDiver]

Well, there are legitimate concerns.


Governments interfering in business operations again. What is the world coming too? Bankrupt bikies how rudely inconsiderate are the Canadians whom I think are some of the nicest people in the world :D

Being a Non smoking type myself I wouldn't care. Ok I like a smoked oyster, smoked venison and camp fires (less smokey the better)

[DAMINK]

Legalize weed here! That would get my vote.

No more petty court time wasting over herb.
No more cops wasting precious time and resources over herb.
Governments could tax the crap out of it to get there revenue.
More tax paying growers instead of non tax paying growers.
Quality control so we dont get seeds or damn stem in our purchases.

Yep gets my vote. However i may be a touch bias here. :cool:

Careful Damink. Bikies here might be just as protective of their business interests in all recreational drugs. :angel:

You for got to add no more Billions wasted in a lost war on drugs, No more corruption due to 'illegal' recreational drugs Note I have a beer beside me at present which taxes pay for something I guess :cool:

My Doctors get to see many of the local drug users. Ice and **** like that can be BAD, Like heroin in the 80s? The war on drugs shows the Very Bad and is somewhat over dramatised to possibly support the WAR ON DRUGs which is such a loved industry. I can say with not doubt steroid use by body builders gives them little balls and other issues. No risk of common sense occurring with our political parties any time soon IMO

[vnx205]

I think part of the story is legitimate, but the part about the bikie protest is from a spoof news site.

Side effects from weed are a lot less than side effects from most prescribed drugs you can get now. Its also less addictive.

As someone who has been put on a gazillion different prescribed drugs i can testify to that.

Short term memory loss is the most common side effect from smoking herb.

No. Loss of sense of smell (Anosmia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosmia)) is quite common. I'm surprised how many people I know with this condition.

[Gerokent]

The war on drugs is a big money spinner, so they won't be rushing to stop it by making some drugs legal. I bet the tobacco companies are looking into "joint" production technology about now :D

You can't mistake it Ron. Many years ago I busted my step son down in the garage with his mates on the yippee weed. Smells like nothing else.

You all forget that I worked in drug and alcohol health services from 1985 to 1992 and ran medical support rooms for rave parties with up to 15,000 participants till 2001. My professional qualifications are in trauma and emergency having been the managing nurse in emergency departments mostly on weekend nights.

I have significant professional experience in the effects of dope smokers, of alcohol, speed, heroin, cocaine, MDMA, MDA, LSD and GHB.

All of them have health and mental health problems, but tobacco probably has the history of the greatest health problems and in a user pays society all the above substances should be taxed at a level commensurate with the damage they cause to society.

I always thought it was made illegal because of the competition with nylon manufacture.
Didn't Henry Ford make a car in part out of hemp prior to all the silly laws surrounding it?
Its not only a great product because it gets you wasted, also a great building material and great for clothing to boot.
Gods little gift to us and we go and ban it!
Sooner its made legal the better. Not that it would change my life.
I smoke it regardless of law or social acceptance.

Not sure of the logic or evidence to that Eevo. It is a real problem here now "Drug driving is a serious road safety issue. In the last five years approximately 37% of all drivers and motorcyclists killed had drugs in their system, with cannabis and stimulants the most common substances detected. About 21% of drivers and motorcyclists killed in 2012 tested positive to THC, the active component of cannabis, or stimulant/amphetamine type drugs such as ecstasy, speed and ice." https://www.tac.vic.gov.au/road-safety/tac-campaigns/drug-driving

National Drug Policy:? The Netherlands (http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/sen/committee/371/ille/library/dolin1-e.htm) has B. Law and Enforcement Statistics

NETHERLANDS population is a little small than us but the issues with law enforcement suggest possibly that there system does not increase drug driving. Fully support the enforcement of both drink and drug driving here. Every now and again we all get to see some idiot drink and drug driving.

Did not see the police stats in other states but assume they might be similar.

If public safety was an issue alcoholic drinks would be illegal too.
Except that excise is easily applied.

Wow man some of you guys live a sheltered life.
I first smelt marijuana back when i was 12 or there abouts.
And a gazillion times in between.
Not just because im a smoker either.
I have been to countless concerts where people are smoking.
I have been on public transport when people are smoking it. Hell i caught a bus with a guy one day who brought on 2 plants full size in a garbage bag lol. Heads hanging out the top.
I have been to pubs where people are smoking it.
I have been camping and people were smoking it.

I don't smoke.
I don't take drugs. Prescription only when I am ill.
I am an extremely light alcohol consumer. I have had little more than a stubbie and a mixed drink in the past month.
A significant number of the people I associate with are similar.
There is little chance I would be exposed to marijuana. If I had been, I had no idea what it was.
i just don't go there. My passions are elsewhere.

What about the alcohol you use?
Most illnesses I get are treated with penicillin. They're usually infections.
When I have a head ache, injury or other pain, I take ibuprofen which is not a barbiturate.
The worst which required strong pain killers, I was prescribed oxycodone. Again, not a barbiturate, it's an opiate. They told me they were very addictive. I didn't find them so.
You are right about the abuse of prescribed drugs. I've read about it. Never experienced it.
With alcohol, I had a stubby on the weekend. I have about six a year in a heavy year. Just to be sociable. Generally I dislike the taste of beer. About the same for glasses of wine or maybe a little more. About the same for port. Mixed drinks, I've had one so far this decade. I may have another before the decade is out.
I only offer my experience as an example as there are people out there who do not have the addiction gene. Quite a lot of people judging from the people I generally associate with.

amusing take

there are "clicks" as you call it in every facet of human endeavor, why would you expect a forum to be any different?

The vast majority here appear to be more on the conservative side so you would expect there to be a little push back from some when asserting points not generally taken as being conservative.

i have observed over the years that people who put themselves out there usually have their followers and detractors and there usually ends up being some friction.

i would hate to see this thread descend into personally attacks as others have done in the past.

to all participants

if you can't add something to the thread without playing the man i suggest you don't say anything at all..

Well, as a member of the spelling and homophone clique, I need medication when people choose the wrong spelling for words that sound the same but have different meanings and/or spelling. I'll leave it to the punctuation clique to deal with their area of expertise but I'm sure they've been self medicating too.
My preferred medication is chocolate. I believe that a balanced diet is a chocolate in each hand. My chocolate habit got out of hand when I was younger but is more or less under control now. I live in fear it will be banned because it is toxic to cats. Damn cat lovers....:mad:

As a member of the TYPO clique I apologize for the frequent offense I caused the homophone clique :angel: My preferred medication is running. Saddly like chocolate, it too, is in danger as it sometimes spills on to roads and comes in to contact with dreaded cyclists and car, trucks and into conflict with VIPS :D

From Weed to emergency departments finding legal stuff worse the the Worst stuff:wasntme:

Now you're bashing people who suffer with dixlexyia:mad:

I was going to say that, "That is quite OK as long as he doesn't have a go at the people who suffer from dyslexia".

Then I realised that you probably knew exactly what you were typing. :D

So I'll just say, "Dyslexia Lures KO?"
