๐Ÿ This billion dollar industry is going to be fantastic for everyone even if you don't smoke. Its medical uses are far ranging and I for one will benefit from its use for my arthritis pain! Children having seizures, people going through chemo therapy just to name a few that can use oil etc. without the THC so you dont actually have to get high but it reduces pain and increases appetite, so much more beneficial and healthier then pharmaceuticals.
๐ŸOf course you can smoke it and get a BUZZ If you like!๐Ÿšฌ

๐Ÿ๐Ÿšฌ Every province in Canada will have their own provincial government rules along with the Federal Governments legislation. where everyone will be allowed to carry up 30 grams. of Marijuana on them as well as be able to grow up to 4 plants for personal use legally! This is so awesome! As well as changes to the impaired driving law. Check out the link above for much more information.


โœ‹HIGH FIVE To you all! โœ‹Thanks everyone for stopping by and all your support, its much appreciated!

Agreed!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

yep, hope the weekend goes well for ya!!

I'm in the middle of a smoke out right now. We smoke til we pass out lol Night

hope you got some good munchies in too

Hahaha! sounds like I something I did back in the day! Lol ENJOY!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

Finally, now I can visit! Congrats! Resteemed with love.

Hahaha thanks @cannabiscup ! Looking forward to , Welcome to Canada! and thanks for the resteem!following you now!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

HIGH FIVE CANADA! ITS ABOUT TIME WOOT! โœ‹๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

That is great news and it is about time that the United States and Mexico does the same thing. This war on pot is ridiculous. There are people in prison for life for pot here in the United States.

The next thing that needs to be done is to release all "criminals" who are in the prison and jail systems for pot related stuff.

I totally agree ! Its insane what they do down there, the prisons are over capacity and just keep building new ones , all at the tax payers expense ! such BS! Check out the link I added under the flag, thers quite a few states that have now legalized it in different ways mind you, with more being added all the time, ! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

Yeah there are even some police forces where they guarantee to arrest a certain amount of people each year. They just go around looking for trouble a lot of times and then a lot of prisons are privately owned so there is a lot of money in getting the prisons filled up. It is nuts.

No kidding eh! what BS!๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

I got this from the link above:
"In the neighboring US, nine states and the District of Columbia now allow for recreational marijuana use, and 30 allow for medical use."

Yeah and it is so dumb that it is broken up like that to be honest. There used to be a time when the drinking laws were all over the place like that where the drinking age was 19 in some states and 21 in others states so you had people traveling to the next states over and all that. It was just silly. Even my home state of Indiana they can't sell alcohol on Sundays. It is like imposing some weird religious thing on everyone I guess. It doesn't make any sense.

Sound rediculous ! something like that should be the same across the country . Like here the new marijuana law by the Government that passed it is the same for everyone, but each province can also add or restrict their own laws on top of that ! so say what I can do here in BC I cant do one province over in Alberta. So stupid!๐Ÿ˜ฌ

And let's not forget to wipe that record clean so that they can get a job upon release.

Agreed, especially since some of the older life sentences were for mere possession.

I had a friend in California whose older brother was murdered in prison, having been sent there for a single joint, after a cop found it on a rourine traffic stop. The really sad part was that it wasn't even his joint; a friend had left it in his car, and he didn't even know it was there.

If weren't for our profit-driven "drug war," he would most likely still be alive today, having lived a good, full life.

It is really sad and there needs to be a continued public outcry of this kind of bullshit. All for profit they keep shoving these non violent "criminals" in with legit crazy killers and rapist. I mean WTF

No argument. It's been going on for way too long.
Prison for profit was a bad idea from the get go.

Congrats from Las Vegas !!!!

Thank you! ๐Ÿ’•โœŒ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

When marijuana is legalized and the people all agree; "We smoke in peace."

Congrats to Canada eh!

Hahaha yes for sure my friend Thanks! I fully agree!โœ‹โœŒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

ahaaa Its a great news for Canadian people . I really wish it cud be legalized in India too .

Thank you , yes for sure it should be world wide! more and more states in the USA are legalizing it and im sure in the future once they see how benificial it works out for Canada in many different ways, more places will follow suit!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โœ‹๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

Alaska was the only state in the US that allowed its people to grow and smoke at their house. It was still federally illegal but "legal" in Alaska. When they legalized it officially for some reason we are now allowed to have less. So annoying.
I am happy for Canada. At least they legalized the whole country! Way to go Canada!

That is craziness @lanadancer ! thanks for your awesome reply ! Yes its going to be so awesome for Canada in many ways!โœŒ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

Way to go Canada! It only makes sense to legalize cannabis. However, the drug companies are too powerful in the United States for it to happen anytime soon!

Haha Thanks ! this is true @lcerm , Big Pharma is Huge! but more and more states are legalizing all the time !๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšฌ

Maybe you'll do it the same in the USA as we did it here in Canada!
We gave the big pharma companies the licenses to grow and sell cannabis! Now all the government, ex-cops, and judges who put people in prison for the past 80 years can make a profit off it instead.... AND keep putting us all in jail because we don't have licenses!
Brilliant, right?

Brilliant. But the USA is so messed up!
