Ontario gets 2 billion a year from our liquor monopoly. Wynne will definitely fight to sell weed through LCBO. Helps pump up the value for when they sell it off too.

Unironically agreeing with PT6A at least insofar as Quebec has corner stores that sell booze and smokes, and (big) grocery stores have pharmacies with over-the-counter-medication sections and also sell sugar/garbage food and drinks that people consume irrationally. Betting Loblaws would probably love to sell weed to people in the same store visit that they are picking up their munchies. Talk about synergy.

Rime posted:It's a horrible, horrible idea to mix consumption for starters. Oh, trust me, I learned that lesson by myself quite a long time ago. That doesn't mean they can't or shouldn't sell them at the same place, because just because you buy something doesn't mean you're immediately going to use it. It's the same reason I find the idea of service hours for liquor stores to be absurd. EDIT: Same thing with drive-thru liquor stores. It seems funny, but it's no more dangerous than any other form of liquor distribution. Like people can't have a roadie if they park the car and actually walk inside of the liquor store first, or something... PT6A fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Nov 22, 2015 |

I don't really like the idea of the government having a profit based incentive to harass pot growers or sellers. Decriminalization is good but imposing a restrictive government monopoly isn't. I really hope that legalization involves letting people grow their own stuff instead of cracking down harder than ever on growers to protect government or private corporate interests,

yeah, maybe pot growing can be the new "craft brewing" industry or instead of people owning and running vineyards they do that with weed farms instead. Frequent use of "job creators" and "small business" abound for the legislation, with a slightly less focus on the "middle class"

Pinterest Mom posted:Grats on your carbon tax, PT6A. I'm just glad those cunts finally found something else to tax apart from my loving liquor, to be real honest with you. I don't drive much and my electricity bills are very reasonable, so I'm not particularly fussed by this, all things considered. I wish nuclear power was a part of their plan, but I knew it wouldn't be owing to Rachel Notley being congenitally loving retarded. I also think it's loving retarded that's it's revenue-neutral. gently caress that; we need money, we're introducing a tax, why then go gently caress our own asses by giving away money elsewhere?

Slightly Toasted posted:Hasn't that always been more or less the political endgame with marijuana? Sell it so you can tax it? I certainly think so. The government shouldn't "harass" growers or sellers, just make sure that they're paying the taxes and following (hopefully minimally-restrictive) rules. It's like having a still in your house; you probably won't be bothered if it's just for personal use, but you're still breaking the law.

I can't speak for others but I mostly support changing the law to reduce the power of the police and also because its a cruel and stupid waste of resources to prosecute people for smoking pot. Taxes don't actually finance government spending so while I'm willing to tolerate user fees and sin taxes up to a point I don't actually think they make very much economic sense, except insofar as the reigning economic orthodoxy would punish us for not pretending that government spending needs to follow the same logic as household spending.

I'm not a pot user either, but I support its legalization insofar as it removes bullying power from the police, which is disproportionately used on minorities as a veil for discrimination -- while politically favoured groups can commit the same "crime" over and over, getting off scot-free each time. It's one of those things where if it is truly impossible for us to do it fairly, then we shouldn't really be doing it at all. I'm somewhat saddened that particular aspect of pot legalization hasn't really gotten much airtime. It would logically follow that users in support of legalization would be a larger voting bloc, but if the Liberals were to take the social justice aspect of it more, they could frame legalization as a principled choice; the right thing to do. In lack of that, it would follow that they're getting accused of pandering/enabling by moral alarmists. (However, given the way the right wing media have been acting lately, that probably would've happened regardless.)

Police responded to a report of a break in near one of my old neighbour's house and while checking out the area they hopped the low fence into his very visible field of pot and tomatoes. They gave a quick search looking for anything the prowler might have dropped and left, no fucks given to the backyard pot plantation.
