As most of you have heard, Cannabis (AKA: Weed, Pot, The Herb, Marijuana...oh you get my drift) is legal in Canada now. I live in Hacketts Cove, Nova Scotia.
Some folks are happy and some are very unhappy, like my friend @sunnydays-r-over who has coined it: "The re-criminalization of Cannabis".
My story today will focus on my first experience buying and consuming legal weed, and not my opinion on its legalization.
Below is me with my coffee. It has 5mg of THC in it.
The THC oil was bought at my local liquor store.
The little brown baggie it came in.
In The Bag...
Consumer Information Sheet
Another Pamphlet
The Box...
The Bottle
The Price
Apologies for the blurry photo, it was 34.80 for the oil + 5.22 tax, so roughly $40.00 Canadian Dollars (or $30.00 USD), for 25 ml of THC oil. There is 10.3 mg of THC per ml of this oil.
I hope you found that enlightening and informative #Steemfam :) I took a nice video a few minutes ago...I'll share it later tonight...it will show you the lovely effect of this oil hehehe...
Haha! You mean this stuff eh?? This bag is 'from a friend' mind you. It does not come with a shitload of paperwork --as you can see!
(Stupid sideways pics ---sorry but i think the pic is still quite clear)
Re-criminalized is right. Stupid laws for a plant. Smh. @sunnydays-r-over is onto something.
Looking forward to that video Lynds! Haha, me i a going for a walk after my blast. Perhaps #cana-curate and #walkwithme post will follow! No promises 😊
The day after legalization, numerous people asked me if I had made my order last night. "Of course not." was my answer. "I already had lots!" I just enjoy the reduced stigma and the people coming out of the woodwork as secret users.
One neat experience I had was at the concert last week. We were speculating about the security at the place (which has been draconian in the past) and their likelihood of pulling the "private property" card and being aggressive and belligerent.
Turns out, they were totally cool with it and let it in as long as you smoked it (and regular cigarettes) outside. That alone is worth legalization.
Had a good laugh when my friend was getting searched at the door going in, and said "Please don't crumple my joints." That would have resulted in some unwanted attention just a couple weeks ago.

I will definitely be adding my own number LOL!! Nice observation :)
I would go black market, local known grower, any and every time. This was a necessity situation. And a fun experiment. Yes, their stuff worked, still don't trust it though.
I am thinking the same thing. Black market seems safer. The invested interest takes on a different tone doesnt it? Do I even know what I am talking about. lol
what they should do is be like in Amsterdam and have Hashish bars. then you sit and enjoy with like . since like attracts like. imagine going to a spliff testing. lol I still think the very best place to smoke one is on my deck and next summer I am going to have a wrap around deck. Nothing better than to have several areas. lol
NO SHIT. Super excited. You will have to show me the ropes. What I am hoping for is THC cappuccino. Or better still THC hot chocolate with whipped cream. However, we will have to come up with a fancier name. Dont you think? xx
Wow, it's 19+ there? It's 21+ here. And the legalization of it (or decriminalization? I am not sure, I think it's legalization here because they have not freed people from jail or expunged records for anyone who was arrested for it in the past) has led to less teenagers using it. A statistic I like to point out to everyone in other states who is all, "but what about THE CHILDREN??!"
Happy to see the weed freed in Canada. Not even legal for medical use here in the UK as the government says it has no medicinal value yet the UK is the largest exporter of medical cannabis. Bonkers!
I fear that they are legalising it in the knowledge that they will encircle its production with so much red tape that big pharma will be the only ones that can afford to produce it .. but we shall see :) On another note, how did the tea go down? Are they keeping the quality high (another pun intended lol) or watered down?
It was pretty watered down. But no worse than the dispensaries was.
The legalization thing is defo shady as fuck. They've found a way to control it and profit huge from it and possibly change the plant so that it can harm people, okay, that's my conspiracy hypotheses there :)
Hi Lyndsay, Firstly I wanna say congratulation for cannabis legalization. Some captures blurry. But you better explain under the photo. I haven't big idea coz I never used cannabis.
I have to wait until the populist and populace can get it done here. The thing is if thdy dont write it in law correctly the first time it will always be flawed.
Congrates on being able to make a choice legally.
Love

Effects can last how many hours after use? Seems you can add your own number there :)
Did it give the desired effect? that's the important one or is the black market stuff still better.
I'm wondering if the old ways of obtaining it are still there. 'Our stuff is better' cry the dealers?

You confirmed at 3:25, in the video, what seemed obvious to me anyway... that you were as high as fook. 😎
Legalization is not decriminalization but it's better than being caged for holding a bag.
