Bet on Canada's Cannabis Legalization 2016

[Patatas]

Well,never knew you can create your own custom bets .I will give you head up for showing me how to do that.Too sad to see not much bets on the concept as only one has bet against it for 0.005.I'd say the legalization will not be supported in all the states of Canada,since Canada just inherits their laws from the US,we can expect what the outcome of the preposition could be.

I gotta say, this is a pretty ignorant statement.

1. Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories, not a single state.
2. Canada has it's own very separate laws and constitutions; albeit some may be influenced by the US, we do not simply 'inherit' their laws.
3. Federal regulation is country-wide, provinces have limited power when it comes to writing provincial laws:

http://www.thecanadaguide.com/legal-system

"Though Canada’s 10 provincial governments have the power to pass laws of their own, these are not allowed to regulate criminal matters and focus largely on the administration of public services such as education, health care, natural resources, transportation and energy or the general regulation of labour and industries."

So, if Canada legalizes weed, it'll be 'A Mari Usque Ad Mare'

Find it interesting that London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart have been jockeying for position for over 5 years to have it sold through their pharmacies. Think its going to be strange seeing pot heads lined up with methadone users and cold/flu sufferers.
They interviewed a guy on the news that claimed to have a disability and uses pot to relieve the pain.
All fine and good till he mentions it costing him $500 a month in hydro to grow his own and it being much cheaper.
How much pot is this guy smoking and how can he afford it on disability pension! Might be overthinking it,he could still be working but that was my first thoughts.

He probably sells some to his friends. You can't just keep spending time and money on growing indefinitely. It should be made legal even if the whole pharmacy situation will look ridiculous to some people. Freedom is what counts.

Even if i'm not from these countries but i know for sure that the laws of the U.S. and Canada have many differences.

Article in the Provincial newspaper mentioned a few points related to thus topic.

Canada is part of a International legal framework on psychotropic drugs. Meaning legalization is not allowed but they can loosen sanctions.
Provincial and Federal would also need to get on the same page, that should take time in its self.

I almost see them just lowering the drug schedule. Trudeau's quoted as saying he'll remove it from the criminal code of Canada, but I'm highly doubtful of this.

I read yesterday's paper saying the CEO of NB Liquor is spearheading research into selling dope in his stores, which would be cool in a sense; better than the shoppers drug mart IMO, but still not better than having booze and dope separated and keep selling grass in out of dispensaries. It's hard to tell where this is all going at this time, it's interesting to see it unfold, and headlines are still being pressed out so it's not just sitting on the back burner.
