Now that there's a "legal" market for designer dope sold as "¢annabi$", euh... M'well, « marihuana » if you prefer, euh... I'd make this simple predi¢tion that we ain't seen the end of such frenzie over cannabis just yet. Besides long-term issues as synergy-based "cocktail effetcs" one should wonder where the "research" on aspects of cannabis that will benefit the end-user 1st, and at the moment i'm most puzzled with « remediation » versus trichome morphologies and their associated features, hoping for beneficial ones to the consumer, like vaporists...
It turns out in me "legal" $a¢rifi¢ed cannuck province our « SQdC » is actually the State's
MONOPOLY (a "filiale" of its main direct provincial competitor the « SAQ », serving an alcohol-based indu$try). Definition of that specific french expression follows next, but i can't risk to forget reminding the reader about yet another important legal cause we all lost in Supreme Court: « Free-the-Beer »! The subtilities matter a bunch in the
Légaleezation of Justin Trudeau, hence lets see what's that « filiale » thing is about exactly:
« ...une société détenue et contrôlée par une autre à plus de 50 %... »
Oh my! How can such a paradox even prove viable in any co-called democratic capitalism as ours??
Pay attention here: our SQdC must be under the grip and control of alcohol merchants already facing issues with "intran$" as « PFAS » (*
ETERNAL* molecule$) in the environment that eventually accumulate in humans for a lack of sufficient elimination, if any... A direct though delayed implication of PFAS presence in any production ¢hain$ is this: the younger you are the longer you get exposed the closer to a critical level you get, so in definitive it implies youth will be most specially affected but we'll only know how bad that is in a few generations, when all those who made profit on it are gone in peace and even opulence for the "lucky" 1 %.
PFAS is only one illustration but what's that all about "$yntheti¢$" one might ask?
Well, in a province as my own where successive governments banned home-grown "bio", e.g. that comes with natural confidence, trust and pride (...), euh... I'm afraid the alternative to expect from a filiale owned over 50 % by its "legal" competitor will indeed start to feed synthetic once we manage having numbers on the side effects of such peculiar market setup.
Ever heard of « Bertrand's box paradox »?
If dreaming of such Frankenstein di$a$ter$ is so important then i must suggest making a link between that box and the SQdC simply to envision what's next. Maybe some day synthetics will be for kids and elders, designer dope is the future! M'well, the "legal" type, that is...
Problem, where's the research aiming to? Being 50+ % directed by the alcohol indu$try already dealing with "tra¢e$" in their fine wine how can we hope for any less socio-toxic destiny then that for starters?!
Tired of Halloween lasting all year long? Remove the mercantile motivation that makes for the main part of « HARM » in cannabis, legal or otherwise. Selling water 5000+ $/liter and over-taxing it in the process won't "save" nobody or anything. And of course tolerance of poly-intoxication in a truly emancipated market is no option if it's going to be "recreative" anyway. The $i¢k 'n $ad consumers taken hostage over their suffering by self-serving predators is a totally different issue as all these decent people ask is relief, in flower form or a pill doesn't really matter at all, except they too learn to appreciate cannabis relaxing and inspiring properties.
Seek respectful alternatives as bio + health-wise consumption methods, never forgetting that
TRUST is one critical ingredient not to ever get under-estimated!
