Puff, Puff, Pass

Do you pass the dutchie:

• From the left hand side?
• From the right hand side?

@The Globe & Mail

Saying that “most Canadians” believe that marijuana laws are outdated, the federal government unveiled legislation on Tuesday that will reduce penalties for possessing small amounts of the drug…

God bless Canada. Finally Ottawa does something right.

[fredericka_bimmel]

‘Reduce penalities for possession’. Does that mean decriminalise? Or something like they do in UK? Which is…? What about medical marijuana? Growing? Wonder how the US will react.

Imagine Taiwan being progressive on this matter. NOT! And this is where you’ll be residing indefinately afterall.

[OldToeSave]

I say this poll is moot. With supply side economics, the street cost of weed is gonna drop thru the bottom in Canada. Prescription Flin Flon Wheelchair weed from The Rock Garden will be available thru your provincial medical plan to cure all your ailments from chemo-queasiness and glaucoma to lower back pain and higher anxiety…making the very notion of “passing” obsolete…

Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn’t Damage Brain–Analysis of Studies Finds Little Effect From Long-Term Use

“Marijuana is a remarkably safe and non-toxic drug that can effectively treat about 30 different conditions,” he tells WebMD. “I predict it will become the aspirin of the 21st century, as more people recognize this.”

Mark my words: this legislation will be the undoing of Canada.

Can you imagine the horror of a million U.S. tourists all over the Great White North staring into their palms and saying

“Did you ever really look at a Maple leaf? I mean–really look at a maple leaf?”

[ImaniOU]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought the maple leaf looked similar to a marijuana leaf. No wonder they always pin them to their bags…it’s not a form of national solidarity…it’s a secret code for who’s dealing.

Ordinary people making dope Canada’s top crop…

Canada’s got the right idea. And I’m glad to see the growth is taking place at an ~ahem~ grassroots level.

I don’t know what drugs this guy is on, but the aspirin that I am aware of does not make you paranoid, give you bloodshot eyes, lead to giggling, enhance the ability to fixate on totally uninteresting things for long periods of time, need to be prepared in some manner before ingestion, cost so much, give you cotton-mouth, or make you hungry for Denny’s breakfasts.

[And let’s be reasonable here. Do you really want to meet some driver on the road who has just done eight giant bong hits of superior Vancouver red? Not me, dude.]

That’s the worst thing about marijuana. It makes people want to go out and operate heavy machinery, drive cars, perform brain surgery, etc.

I’d hate to meet some driver on the road who is trying to drive and juggle bowling pins at the same time. Juggling should be illegal!

Actually I’d rate dope much safer than aspirin. Kid gets a hold of your stash and the kiddie gets high. Kid gets a hold of your bottle of aspirin and kiddie bleeds to death.

I didn’t say smoking gives you the urge to operate heavy machinery, although if you have ever operated an earthmover after having had your weed medicine you would know just how enjoyable that once ho-hum job can be.
Face it; people do drive after they get small. What will be the new limits for DUI? What will be the accpetable THC levels?

Kid gets a hold of your bottle of aspirin and kiddie bleeds to death.

Let be get this straight: Kid takes bottle of aspirin, opens it, takes aspirin, somehow smashes plastic bottle, slashes wrists in a fit of clearheadedness…
Or is it kid takes bottle of aspirin AFTER smoking Dad’s sensimillian and then gets ahold of the keys to the backhoe and drives on the freeway, where he gets abducted by aliens who drain all the blood out of him because they were a few pints low and needed a fill up?

[Huang_Guang_Chen]

All of the above will suffice.

Aspirin is a potential killer. OD and you bleed from every orrifice till there aint no more to leak. Not quite as bad a way to go as an OD of Panadol, which turns your liver to sluice, but still highly lethal.

I can hear the sweet refrain of one of Australia’s top orthopaedic surgeons ringing in my ears now. Soon after his gruff “giz the knife nurse” came “ah shit, John, did you ask the bastard if he was taking aspirin?” Elderly folk twigged to the benefits of thinning the blood to prevent heart attacks through a regular dose of aspirin but often forgot to mention it to docotrs before surgery. Needless to say it’s a standard question these days.

What will be the new limits for DUI? What will be the accpetable THC levels?

I just heard that the Victorian (Australian State) police will be using a sputum test to nab Doped Under the Influence drivers from next year.

[quote]Drivers will be examined at the roadside using a device which, when chewed for up to three minutes, produces enough saliva to reveal whether people have drugs in their systems.

If a test is positive, the driver will be escorted to a nearby drug-bus where a more detailed sample will be taken.[/quote]

Everybody sing “Pass the dutchie from the left-hand side…”

What I think they meant about pot and aspirin both have active ingredients that have been used for hundreds of years and are beginning to show that they have other uses outside of their original ones.

Not me, I am a very happy gal and I behave very well while puffing. I just do my own thing and watch TV… so don’t bug me!
