Even here in BC, even if we keep it hidden from the public, most municipalities are banning home growing. So they're legalizing it, but keeping it almost 100% prohibited. : (
We do supposedly have the right to free speech here in Canada, as per the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms (our Constitution).
Legalization is about monopolizing the industry and jailing the competition (ie: the free market mom and pop small growers). And it's about smashing the canna culture (dividing people). Divide and profit!
And they will export this model to Australia and many other countries very soon, claiming it was such a success here. Bulllllshit.
Thanks for the vid!!
Thanks, man! I actually just got back from Canada, but I was in Ottawa/Quebec.
As far as the "Free Speech" thing, I didn't want to digress too much from the subject of the video, but I was generally referring to Bill C 16, as well as a comedian being fined $42k for making a crass joke, etc. In America, we protect free speech in almost all its forms, even highly controversial forms. A famous example of this is the Nazis vs. Skokie Illinois, in which they fought (and won) for the right to host a Nazi march in a primarily Jewish community, due to it being an exercise of free speech.
In my mind, though, preventing you from wearing a T shirt of any particular kind is a blow to free speech in all its forms.
Hehe, true. Just to clarify, I believe they're not prohibiting weed apparel, they're prohibiting private retailers selling weed apparel. So if you make it yourself, or buy it elsewhere, or get it from the official government shops, nothing is stopping you. Basically, they're cornering the market, on everything even the glassware.
It's quite silly and/or dangerous and/or corrupt! Lots of patients are losing access because of this recreational legalization. They're supposed to buy from the rec market now, which is artificially expensive, low quality, and limited strain selection. Also, rec is limited to dry flower (no extracts or edibles). I could go on and on, hahah. Much of the new laws are unconstitutional and will be "Charter challenged" as soon as they're used to charge someone. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. The black market doesn't intend to give up, and they know that. They're banking on it! Enforcement makes them a lot of money (and power).
