Trudeau will cost thousands of jobs right of the bat

Seabast I am more in favor of decriminalizing. There are good arguments for and good arguments "against". my question if you will is.

Are we ready for it and by that I mean todays youth? I can only answer no, not remotely.


More reasons to weight this carefully?
Cannabis is probably the very worst thing for people struggling with anxiety and depression.
Huge and growing issue these days, especially for college aged youth.

So by all means, lets jump in with both feet.

Are we ready for it and by that I mean todays youth?
Been young is about been irresponsible and so on... And it doesn't matter what we do, some of them will never be ready for anything. We will never change that fact....
I have a 19 year old in University and a 17 years old at home and they speak freely to us. The boy is a cool geek and the daughter hang out with the cool kids. From what I get from them I'm more worry about the consumption of largely "available" hard liquor and hard drugs than dope. It sure sounds like they have to get wasted, I mean there is no point to go to a party without hard booze (forget the beer even wine is better), and this is from the age of 14/15 and up.... From what I get from them, dope is not something that you have to do to be "IN", been call a "Doper" isn't that great.
So I think that whatever the government do it won't change anything for the young, it's there already! The question is "Do we want to make $ from it?" Personally, I couldn't care less because it won't change what I do or don't...

More reasons to weight this carefully?
Yes, and I agree with that "Cannabis is probably the very worst thing for people struggling with anxiety and depression."
Again, I don't think it's a big think this day and it's already there anyway. If you want to smoke one today, you can easily do it.
Maybe having dope shops will give us a better chance to find the one in need for help, Idk.....

I have the feeling that some of us do not understand (or do not want to understand) how easy it is to buy/use some today.

Agree Seabast.
For me it's the fine line between decriminalization and legalization.

Not unlike Alcohol and prohibition.

With respect to how easy it is to obtain and how prevalent it is.
Your talking to the father of two teens, one who is very head strong and heavily inked. Lol. I love her to death, she is her own person, if only more youth today were more like her. Don't use myself but my kids do.

Regardless, it's not something (imo) we should open the floodgates on and that includes rushing into either one (Decrim or legal)
