Salutations,
...20 years as an alcoholic. I don't hide baggies around...
Sounds familiar enough, it's called self-inflicted slavery and our governments never stop taxing it heavily while also failing to prevent abuse, still today...
Now thanks to the "science" of Trudeau's dynasty we're about to experience the same type of distortions using cannabis, without the stigma removed!
I'm not sure i should continue to ignore her books, anyone got a few clues what i might happen to be missing??

...in truth everyone reacts differently.
Good point, that's where i'd be ready to draw the line, democratically. E. G. in true collegiality, with *NO* aspects rejected "à priori", which should feel quite fun 'cause we've already heard/seen/read from bigot anti-cannabic prohibitioni$ts before, ad nauseam... Hence any redundancy in allowing those parasites to repeat themselves again would be little more than the usual wasteful spending of Canuck public resources, In The Name Of Children, with zero benefit except for some self-centered hate-loving/love-hating "elites" and their followers/voters, on the land of cap'tain Itnoc - for many generations yet to be born!
At such point i'd argue we've gone much too far beyond simple accomodation considering the numbers, which i still don't have so i'll improvise instead. Lets see, 39.2 million people against 475 "behavioral addicts", euh... Oh my!! Ain't this thing gone wild and crazy?! Maybe we should put those guys in prison and leave the others outside instead, i'm sure the net gain in imprisonment expenses alone would largely justify the swap - but it wouldn't be very ethical, would it? So why should a majority endure permanent prejudice on behalf of the few "victims" who should just stay away from cannabis or reconsider their abusive habits.
What's our self-serving "elite" doing about it except make it worse - e.g. quite a lot worse actually!!
...do we call this ADDICTION?
Or do we even have to listen, patiently? After decades of carricatural propaganda and the passage of multiple generations?...
The negative stigmas built around marijuana are responsible for all the anxiety and paranoia it has ever caused in anyone. Marijuana is a psychedelic and users are susceptible to suggestion that create negative results. I haven't seen any real negatives just imaginary ones.
Good point. Not to mention this may be the one reason why i'm not going to find a credible source for those ellusive real number(s) i'm after: it's not real to begin with, hence there's no way something imaginary can lead to real numbers. M'well, until bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionism pours in!...
...the prohibition of marijuana put me in contact with people who sold meth...
The ever-lasting socio-toxic illegallity exposed me to the contact of saddening morrons on speed who shouldn't be allowed to grow even a geranium - and never have anything to do with cannabis, of course! All because of this "self-vilification" effect i associate to the bigotry of Canuck anti-cannabic propaganda, passively promoting "harm" which consumers can be conveniently blamed for later... Should you ever see Jean-Pierre Bony/Bony Jean-Pierre cease the opportunity to ask him about it: m'well, Montréal's SPVM-GTi police was quick to blame him for his own death as i recall. Etc., etc.
The poison which still has its own place on top of a schedule defined by international treaties happens to be PROHIBITIONISM as the only reply to a HEALTH ISSUE, not a substance wich i'd consider even safer if consumers could avoid the side-effects of THC-centric genetic selection, for example. Etc. As for putting cannabis there it was a cheat right from the very begining: alcohol, tobacco, coffee, sugar... None of it is on a schedule, end of debate. Please no more accomodations funded by public spending for love-hating! Please!!
...naturally my curiosity got the best of me.
M'yeah, there was a time when i wouldn't have feared trying a few things myself. Not anymore, the perspective is too ugly and i've found my answers anyway. Too bad i can't pretend to save the statistically-ellusive children of planet Itnoc using my weapon of mass seduction!!
%)
Not really that bad in comparison to other drugs I've abused.
Even LSD used to be a low risk in my own time and i think i got some clue why: it made me feel paradoxically replenished after the experience was finally over... Like i was beaten and happy with it, 'cause i needed my "counter" to be "reset to zero", as i used to comment back then. While i still was a self-poisoning hashish + tobacco SMOKER. But i recall LSD only left me satisfied with little residual need to return to it for some long while. There was no drama having to quit compared to maricaca, yet i'll stay with cannabis, the "bio" artisanal type if ever given a real chance...
...it does not mean opiates and cannabis aren't otherwise habit forming substances.
Oh please, avoid juxtaposing opiates and cannabis in a same statement like this if it's meant to be serious at all! As far as i'm concerned toilet paper is an utterly "habit forming" substance and i'll never provide support with my signature or vote to any self-serving bigot hooked on some similar ideology. The "slave-to-maricaca" propagandist image just fails to stick here, call me Teflon!!
Cannabis addiction is clearly a real phenomenon.
Measuring in imaginary numbers i guess...
...$700 and $900 a month...
Thank you for such clear evidence of ABUSE.
If that isn't addiction, I don't know what is.
Personally i vote for the last option. If it's self-inflicted then maybe that's just self-vilification targetting a noble plant for no good purpose, to serve an obscure "cause" which proved less than noble. In The Name Of Children... Actually we've gone a long way since the times when vulnerable children and women would become sex slaves, after being stunned/abducted using opium, etc. (see 1908 treaty; after that even the word "children" magically vanishes, in 1925, with a brave Canuck Liberal as president at the League of Nations)!... Past that event the CommonWealth children can thank bigot prohibitionism for creating a real socio-toxic problem out of a non-issue, essentially.
So my guess is the victims, REAL OR IMAGINARY, shall vanish once cannabis is taken off all "SCHEDULES" and/or TREATIES. Which are very real in the later case.
...weed is incredibly addictive...
You've seen nothing, try the love-of-hate/hate-of-love syndrome. Now THAT is hard to beat, isn't it?...
If I had to pick between weed, cocaine, heroin, speed, tobacco, I'd pick the weed easily.
Maybe if everybody votes NDP next time then who knows, you might get access to safe substitution products with the socio-toxic (prohibition) effects removed. That would be a start dealing with health issues at last. Instead Canucks shall realize, eventually, that we're about to support bigotry again, no matter if it's Maxime Bernier or Justin Trudeau.
Welcome to the "science" of void, THC-centric (and now CBD-centric) extracts for SMOKERS who enjoy maximum ABUSE, etc.
...no views are too extreme...
What's extreme these days is the accumulation of bigot anti-cannabic prohibitionist propaganda on mass media while simultaneously we yet have to see equal coverage of truly pro-cannabic topics presently suppressed before a dialog can even begin. Courtesy of the most bigot and sinister Lucie Charlebois in my province, as (cut 'n paste) author of law #44 (on tobacco smoking, e-cigarettes *AND* vaporizers!! Altogether!...) - directly imported from some bigot gathering symposium hiding in Russia...
M'Yep! My guess is we've got a fair sample what extreme can be as it is.
My two cents... ... ...want vs need...
Unfortunately this concatenated classification happens to exclude yet another scenario: which is the sense of "slavery". E.G. "dependency" as an antagonist of pure free will IMO. One can choose to suffer the consequences of braking his/her slavery state, nobody else but a substance abuser should have to pay for his own individual failure to deal with such a situation. Nobody wants or needs to be a slave to begin with, so there's got to be something else and i point my accusating finger at self-vilification from improper consumption (posology), for starters.
So if we got some consensus it's more "potent" today then what's the wait for when we could be given access to equally efficient/health-wise, public-supported (...), toking tools and rituals too. My 2 cents! To "save" the lost (statistically ellusive) children of planet Itnoc, in our "sunny" and " transparent" Canuck world now under the protective influence of cap'tain Itnoc himself...
...if your goal is to use the maximum amount of drugs you can possibly get away with, without losing your house or your job or you family, then you have a problem.
Hummm... It appears we've each met plenty of socio-toxic self-vilifying agents as it is, folks who seem unaware they may be working for cap'tain Itnoc, e.g. against themselves!...
In The Name Of Children - or a ratio i expect to range around 0.001 % of the Canuck population (475 ÷ 39M2)!...
8)
So today in Canada it's OKay to KILL a black french-speaking man standing in Montréal-"Noir"/Qc, over 8 oz not from his own pockets (...), only to prevent 0.001 % of the population from exposing itself to the risks mentioned above??
Euh... I got to wonder, did i write "Itnoc" often enough??
Good day, have fun!!
