It's the same with alcohol. Each province sets their own drinking age. Manitoba has 18 as their drinking age but I seen their cannabis age is 19. Federally pot is legal now but the moat rules are all set T the provincial level so it will be a bit different throughout the country. I think Quebec is trying to ban home growing, although under federal law it is legal.kinard wrote:Seems odd the legal age to buy pot in Alberta and Quebec is 18 years but 19 years for the rest of the country.

One of the major challenges is how to fulfill the pledge that legalizing pot will make it harder for youths to obtain it. I guess part of the reasoning is that if they can eventually get rid of the black market, then all purchases will need to be made over the counter where they can verify ID. Obviously, without major penalties for supplying to minors, they'll still be easy access for high schoolers.kansaicanuck wrote:It's the same with alcohol. Each province sets their own drinking age.

And yes, it appears like the drinking age, where it is 19 in Newfoundland for example, but 18 in Quebec. In either place, it really doesn't matter...
Suddenly I feel the same about Canada as I first felt about Cambodia...

How's that even an issue, given that teens can already access alcohol (or weed) if they want to? The same is true in Europe or the US.Miguelito wrote:One of the major challenges is how to fulfill the pledge that legalizing pot will make it harder for youths to obtain it.

The main point is for the government to make cash in a sector previously dominated by criminals. In doing so, quality will inevitably go up as small and large businesses expand, quality control is refined and so on. If parents want to let their 16 year old son try a joint (as people typically do by giving a child their first beer under adult supervision), then it's up to them. If an older sibling, cousin or friend buys them weed, there's little you can do about that, but it's going to be a relatively small number.
If kids can get weed from siblings, cousins or friends then we should just ban weed! And then we should ban cars because sometimes minors drive them. They can like totally hurt themselves.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. As I mentioned, the "age limit" doesn't really matter as teens never have a problem getting their hands on stuff regardless of the age limits set in place. It's just one of the two major items that people are concerned with (along with how to test drivers for being high), or so I read.LexusSchmexus wrote:How's that even an issue, given that teens can already access alcohol (or weed) if they want to?

I would legalize it all, but I do support nicer bars/clubs having an age limit to enter, as I don't really want to be drinking with a bunch of 17 year olds.

Ha, a bit rich of Japan considering the meth use epidemic in that country, in fact they invented meth. Pot seen as too laid back while meth gives a sense of urgency and alertness ergo 'efficiency'Sonic1 wrote:china joins S.Korea and japan warning it's citizens against legal consumption of cannabis in Canada. https://calgarysun.com/news/national/ch ... e9a2a7efb4

S.Korea worded the strongest and most draconian of the three. Break the law where it is the legal law of the land and face 5 years and 44k fine. If we find out. when you come home.

States already have to reduce or eliminate their taxes on legal pot because they are getting so far undercut by Mexican cartels in price and legalized sales are plummeting. Who could have seen THAT price problem coming? (Anyone with a brain.) So much for the cannabis tax boom reducing government budget problems. And so the "war on drugs" goes on.
The taxes must be pretty high if drug users are buying weed of unknown quality and origin on the black market rather than a more regulated product through legal channels. How much does a gram cost at a dispensary in San Francisco?
Anyways marijuana and opiates are endemic in the US so there is no point in outlawing them. The government should tolerate and regulate and tax the sale of marijuana and opium and at least walk away with some tax revenue instead of allowing all of the money to go to the cartels.
