Now that weed is legal in Canada will we see increased smuggling into the US?

Will Canadia be over-run with US pot heads seeking asylum?

"Take Off, To The Great White North, Take Off, It's A Beauty Way to Go." Eh ?

BOCO will be hitting the Bong as well as the bottle From Now on !!!!

w

doubtful. Why smuggle it when anyone can grow it and the market is awash in the US?

Yes, to both.

Fairly soon though, marijuana will be legal throughout the US too and Canadian marijuana will be a non-issue in the US. Most US users will be stuck in low paying, non-important jobs and they will mostly vote democrat. Dope is for dopes.

TRUTH Be Told, Keith C.

Most pot smokers I know have good jobs....they just make it a point to either work for a place with lax policies or they cheat the test.

That's a stereotypical, ignorant statement to make. Some of the most successful people I know use the devils cabbage, and not middle class successful, like 1% successful....

Alcohol is a far more destructive and abused substance than MJ. I've seen plenty of lives ruined, families broken and lost from alcohol abuse than MJ.

I did not say all marijuana users would be unsucessful. I know there are people that can use drugs and still be in control of their own lives. Most drug users, including marijuana users, are controlled by the drug and become less productive and motivated. If you don't believe me, look at the thousands of studies on the subject. Even without the studies, my life experience tells me this is so.

Keith

ny has gotten it in the express lane and the rest of the country will follow.

The liberals realize that their only hope now is to get everyone stoned.

Maybe I'll grow some on the trapline.Extra income.

Anyone who condones drug use is oblivious to the havoc that it generally creates. There are exceptions to everything but there is also 'what normally happens'..

I prefer reality and people who live within reality.

I got a kick out of Trudeau complaining about all the billions of dollars organized crime is making by selling it. I guess he wants to be the don. I'm not talking about Trump ether.

The profit that governments hope to make off of marijuana is the main reason it is becoming legal.

Keith

or maybe because MJ isnt such a big deal and shouldnt be classified the same as cocaine or heroin.

Maybe people consuming MJ should be considered a personal freedom, and not a reason for "freedom lovers" to support the same bloated overreaching Gov't they curse in every other breath, while at the same time being ok with tobacco and alcohol being legal.

People are only free to do what others beleive they should be free to do..... which isn't what freedom should look like..

Keith C. said it all, "Dope is for Dopes".

I always say some people in life play checkers some play chess thinking 3 move ahead and now some will struggle with tic-tac-tow even! LOL


CO has made a lot of money on pot they also have had a lot of the issues that go with it!

I think that they may as well make marijuana legal. I think that like cigarettes and excessive alcohol use, marijuana is generally bad for people, but I think that they should still have the choice to use it. I think that unless their decision, has a very good chance of adversely effecting other people, people should be allowed to make bad decisions.

I don't think most marijuana users are a threat to other people. I do think most marijuana users are crippling their own potential, but that should be their choice. People should have the right to fail. They should not have the right to make others support their failures.

Keith

They need the $ to be able to buy more votes to keep the liberal ideal alive.

Seattle just approved spending 13 million to turn the city hall lobby into an overnight walk in shelter that will hold 60 people. $1600 a month to house one person for a few hours (if that 13 million is per annum, it may be just for a few months)....not permanent housing but an 'overnight' housing solution.

That's the best they got for ideas....13 million to continue a problem. No solution. The 'feel good' solution that accomplishes nothing in the end. That's all the liberals have...pay attention and look at history...you will see the truth to that. Legalized drugs, illegalize firearms and free stuff for a few hours....along with cursing out the Potus and First Family while they applaud one another for doing it.

Tweed there might be an increase on smuggling from Canada to US especially with the higher grade marijuana.
I know there used to be a lot of smuggling from the US into Canada.

Why all the smuggling when you could just do a deal in CO/CA and have less of a hassle?

They should legalize crack too.

baldy said he wont take you trapping if you dont do partake.

Are you smoking dope? That's a terrible idea.

Robs Fords was a HUGE fan

His brother Doug is our new Conservative leader of Ontario.
Don and Doug should have a summit-Don can supply the hookers and Doug can supply the Dope.

Well that should give you a little hope for the great white north
What do you think Boco
Anyone is better than Truedope

I am glad Doug won a majority here.
I think Trudope is on his way out in the next fed election.

Maybe you could make him a new set of eye brows from some of that nice fur you catch.lol
Or you could invite him up to trap
You could always use another jackpot or two

The government has spent millions to vilify tobacco use, they force tobacco companies to no longer advertise on TV or in magazines, force them to print health warnings on their products and limit the places people can smoke in public. In some states you can be arrested for smoking tobacco inside a car with your children present.

But marijuana, which has many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco, is okay?

It's all about the money, bunch of hypocritical (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

If Trump decriminalizes it,
will liberals stop smoking it in protest? lol

Yes they will cry.
They want to make it legal.
But they will still smoke it.

Treat marijuana like booze,
levy a federal tax on any recreational use,
and put that money on border security,
you could afford a couple walls with the revenue.
And in a way, Mexico would be paying for it.

Spoken like a true republican...What a shame that more do not realize that when government does not have an opinion it does not mean that the activity is condoned. Alas, Republicans love big government- and look toward it for as a measurement of what is right and moral-as much as demofarts, and round and round we go.

Why don't you stop telling everyone what a good man is and be one?

It isn't about a man, marty. It is about personal liberty and making government smaller.

For someone who believes in personal liberty you sure spend a lot of time telling others what they should be doing.

I absolutely despise people who talk about freedom, yet advocate throwing men in a cage for what they put into their own body. I believe free men own their bodies in entirety aND can freely choose what to put in it. I will continue to shed light on anyone who wants to continue the drug war as being as anti freedom as any big government liberal. Get used to it.

When I care about what you despise I will let you know.

K, Lil buddy.

Your continued postings show you do care. Is it uncomfortable to consider yourself to be conservative, yet support big government policies that result in having the largest prison population in the world and a black market that has affectsome in this country, Mexico and south america?

It's not what you morons put in your body's, it's when you get in a car, or take up a firearm and put ALL of us at risk with your stupidity.

Those activities are illegal in and of themselves bigbob.

Those activities are illegal in and of themselves bigbob.

They must really be illegal.

Super illegal

Twice as illegal as an ordinary crime.

This song seems appropriate for this thread.

Should it be illegal to administer narcan ?

I don't understand why people want to live their life in an impaired fog be it from any substance.

X2

Might as well make it legal because being illegal sure doesn't stop the ones that want to use anyway

X 3

You are basically right here - I don't care if you kill yourself with drugs. Unfortunately, these idiots are very good at getting other people killed or hurt with their behavior, and then billing the rest of us for it.

Freedom has its rough points, too. Those activities where harm is done to others should be punished, and in most cases already is. The poor choice of using drugs harms one's own body. As far as billing 'us' for the harm done, well, that's probably a discussion for a socialized medicine thread.

Understanding has little to do with it. I don't understand how two men can love each other in a sexual way, among other oddities of humanity. The bottom line is accepting that one owns one body and shouldn't be thrown in a cage simply for using, posessing or selling something.
The wide swath of destruction that drug use has caused our society may be narrowed by legalization (notice I didn't say normalization, understanding or acceptance of drug use).
It truly is embarrassing that Canada leads the USA in this area of personal liberty.

Why is that surprising for you,Canada is the freest place on earth.No where can you enjoy the freedom we have here.

Yes I can carry a handgun.Some places you cannot.Besides we don't need "props" here to make us think we are free.
I could walk from my home,and in an hour I would be in a place I would not encounter another human being for as long as I chose.
I could go live at any of my cabins and do whatever I wanted to without any interference from anyone.
You cant be any more free than that.

Until you didn't pay for your cabin rent, mounties would come a-knockin.

You could build umpteen cabins that no one would ever find.

The last time a Mountie came a knocking at a cabin uninvited was in the 1930 did not work out well for him. Great man hunt story, the Mad Trapper of Rat River. Charles Bronson does a great portrayal in the movie Death Hunt.

Canadians seem to be more like chattel property than free people to me.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada

If you wanted to overthrow the queen, I would vote for America to help Canadadians to become a free people.

Why don't you get rid of the royalty? The pledges and oaths, posturing and groveling they make your leaders do is embarrasing. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't like to see it and think the time is well past for it to end.

Do you Canadians really think the royalty is better than you?

Keith

Not everyone will though.

was the mad trapper a fur thief i don't remember .but the rcmp got there man

i looked it up he was spring traps

Maybe!

I see more Americans sucking up to the British royalty in the media than any Canadians.
That last royal wedding was just polluted with Americans,even the bride,lol.

I find that disturbing too. I think that most people don't want to be free.

Keith

It is rather sickening ........

keep your friends close and your enemies closer Boco.

Face It, BOCO, You Are A Subject, Not A Citizen !!! LOL.

w

I was an immigrant until 1974,Walleyed,that is when I got my Canadian CITIZENship.

i think your cap button is sticking.

Awfully loose use of the word "more".

Hundreds of millions of humans subject themselves to the German Queen. Its nice od her to give you the illusion of self determination.

What was it.....a few thousand at most Americans sucking up?

Seen it all over the media-all Americans sucking up,mostly the Hollywood crowd but your politicians too.Didnt see any Canucks there,I don't even think Trudope was there,but I seen a couple of your presidents there sucking up,lol.Canada basically ignores the royals,they have no say in how Canada is run anymore than any other country.
I'd say Trumpy thinks he is a Royal,lol.

The queen certainly has a say in how Canada is run. There is still a Governor general of canada who is appointed by the queen, and all laws of Canada need royal assent by the Governor General. She hasnt as of yet decided to void any of Canada's law, but that is her prerogative.

Everything I have read says that the Canadian government is completely ruled by the queen, if she wants to exert that rule. That's definitely what all the oaths mean, that Canada's leaders make while groveling and debasing themselves to her or her image.

Well then i wish she'd void all the native treaties.make us all truly equal.

Wouldn't that be interesting.

Osky

Or all the non natives could go back home....

Are you going to rebuild the land bridge from Asia so all
the "indigenous" people can go back to where they came from? lol

Nobody ever answers that .

AHA !!!

I Knew It !!!

Got alot of Irish in mme too, that's why i stutter and drink, lol.

that first statement is priceless hippie.

But yet you live amongst the intense fog of certification.

He doesn't even know what a potato looks like !!!

where is he,this isn't as much fun without him.course strict catholic sermons probably get lengthy. and my cheeks hurt from grinning.

Done with work and back home.
