agreed. smoking is bad all around.
This is why I never tried Pot when I was young, lots of friends did but I wouldn't because I wouldn't smoke. It was only about 3 years ago I actually tried it for the first time in a couple of cookies. MEH is my thoughts. I'll be in no rush to try it again legal or otherwise.
it won’t make much of a difference in people’s day to day lives. But I actually don’t smoke at all and when I do use it’s a vape pen for the CBD.
I’ve been medically prescribed it by my doctor for the last 7 years so for me legalization is more of a pain in the ass.
Looked at the OCS website today....it’s not stopping the black market shit is waaaay overpriced. All it is a huge tax grab

So I just spent a few mins on one of the government approved websites.
I added 1 gram of 4 different types of pot available. I picked what seemed to be the low/middle priced stuff. After I took it through the check out and picked my shipping methods etc the grand total came to $74...
I know there is no rec drug talk allowed, but hopefully this won't cross the line... $74 for 4 grams of pot vs 60$ for 7 grams of pot on the street.
Anyone whose smoked pot before it was legalized is probably not willing to pay double.. So this will not change those ppl in my eyes. They will continue to by from there usual person and use it as much as they always have.
Anyone who never used or bought pot but wants to try it now will probably use the gov site.
Anyone who smokes pot but doesn't do it often might us the gov site.
The argument of legalizing it to push drug dealers out of business isn't going to happen if its 2x the cost to buy it legally. Also all the teens who aren't of legal age will support their local drug dealers.
I do like the idea of gov controlled stuff.. You buy knowing its not laced or coated with various crap.

I should add, on that $74 order for 4 grams... 10$ was shipping, $3.71 is GST, the rest is the cost of the product.
At $3.11 tax for 4 grams, I'm impressed the government didn't tax the shit out of pot. I was anticipating the same tax % as alcohol, cigarettes, lotteries etc..

If they do actually bump enforcement on black market weed you will probably see a rise in their prices too which could level the playing field a little. Only time will tell I suppose.
CBD oil sold out already. I already have my diver under control so no need for it now. It was great for the pain. They will have it in stock the next time my gut flares.
If you don't mind me asking, what pain did the CBD take away? Aside from your gut pain I mean. Joint pain? Back pain?
I don’t have any other pain than my stupid gut.
But my buddy how gave me a vial of his CBD only oil uses it for his shoulder joint pain. He doesn’t want to use pain killers all the time and it takes the edge off so he can deal with it.
It’s like 26 mg/ml I believe amd he uses 1 ml. I used 1/2 ml.
He also uses a 1/2 thc 1/2 CBD oil before bed to get sleep.
I found the effects wore off after about 2 hours, but I bet if you used it all the time it would build up and last longer.
It not perfect, not like the Cannabis promoters would have you believe, but I would say 3/4 ml is like taking 400 mg if Advil. But it has to be easier on your body than Advil.

I'm not 100% convinced CBD is the safest route to deal with pain and inflammation. I only say that because I have not read enough about it to decide for myself. Either way, correct me if I'm wrong but I think advil is much cheaper than CBD. (unless you have insurance to cover the CBD). I'd consider CBD if I needed to use something long term for pain. Fortunately I've only had to take pain killers for more than a day or two a couple times in my life. If I had chronic pain, I'd be reading CBD long term sides and irregardless of the price, if its safer and I need something long term I would be using it.
I take 25 mg going to bed for s few days in a row. If really dinged up I take 25 mg 3x per day and after a few days you can really feel it build up

I personally wouldn't take advil a few times a day for decades. CBD oil I wouldn't be as worried about, only because how many centuries has weed been smoked and the cbd ingested and other than the negative thc and smoking effects, you don't hear too much about cbd killing the lining in your colon or destroying your kidneys.
Mind you now that it is being used a lot more, things could surface that wasn't noticed before.
You don’t want to use any nsaids long term.
This is what interests me about the cbd oil.
Also, from my reading I don’t think it quite fair to expect the same type of pain relief as one would with Advil. Pain relievers such as Advil work differently than cbd. For cbd, it would appear to me that this drug could be used to lower inflammation in the body long term. So longer term and commitment to dosing before all benefits would be noticed. Just something to contemplate when making a decision about it. I think too many people expect that they will take their first dose and experience immediate relief. Unfortunately some people are touting this so expectations can be somewhat misguided.

My experience would support this. CBD benefits are achieved gradually and definitely not a quick fix for injuries.
I’ll add that if you do try it for a while you may even think it doesn’t do much but then upon cessation the benefits can become clearer. CBD works very much like supplements.
In addition to consuming oils, softgels, capsules or edibles which then have to be metabolized through your body, CBD can also be vaporized to $ave money and get it into your system quicker.
