Woohoo!
Okay, so it's the (neo)Liberal party that introduced legalization... so they let the provinces decide the rules, and it's kinda messed up in different places... and they had to give police extra abilities to prosecute people for impaired driving which relies on highly flawed mechanisms of testing, which will result in many people still unjustly going to prison for driving impaired despite a lack of impairment... so it's not all perfect, but legalization is a start towards finding a reasonable set of regulations.
There's an overpriced government site to order from, but no physical dispensaries in my town yet. Surprisingly, the Liberals in Ontario had an awful legalization plan, and the clownshow Rob Ford (brother of the crackhead Toronto mayor) fixed some of the issues, as his only bright spot... I'll probably just stick to ordering from the non-government online site I go to. I usually pay $100-$140 OZ, and I believe the government is hoping for $240-$280 OZ, so the government still needs to step up to compete more with black market pricing... but maybe I'm naive, and the legal shops will be flooded with empty-nesters, retired folks, and chronic pain management switchers moreso than the usual smokers. Both illicit and legal markets could continue to co-exist. We shall see.
I could grow up to 4 plants, which could yield several pounds of weed if I knew what I was doing... but I don't. Might be fun to experiment with growing, but I still have to keep it a secret from my 11 year old daughter for a while longer.
It's really weird to see it all commercialized and out in the open though... the Oh Henry 4:25 chocolate bars creep me out... "for that intense hunger you need, right at 4:25"... hahaha.... they're gonna put weed in Pepsi and into stuffed-crust pizzas, and injected into Big Macs and whatnot... it's kinda weird and creepy to me. But the world is going to hell, might as well light one up as we watch the world go up.
