For those that follow such things, as of today recreational pot is
completely legal in Canada. As an aside, I myself am not a "user" (3-4x
in my whole life), but am fully on board and believe it's long overdue.

I won't judge anyone who uses it (especially for medicinal purposes), but I was reading something the other day, which I'll share here:

I have never smoked pot before, but would consider
trying it the next time I am in Canada.

Legal pot is more expensive than illegal pot. I wonder
how many users will actually switch to buying it in
stores.

Just remember that US policy is still messed up and you can get banned at the border if you admit marijuana use:

The Mail article doesn't really seem to understand the issue. I see arguments on both sides, but if the Mail's big concern is young kids using it, then one of the arguments in favour of legalisation is the ability to regulate usage heavily. If the supply all comes via stores that require ID verification, then this should help prevent under-age users.

You mean that you didn't succumb to the Reefer Madness and become a killer?

I tried it with ayahuasca once. Didn't notice any effect except from an extreme nausea caused by the ayahuasca.
Also tried it in a brownie when I was suffering from insomnia, and it was an excellent substitution for sleeping pills.

Just looked at your link, Robbie. I remember Speedy basically saying that when I was a kid!
