Canadians: Luckiest People Alive

[SS4DBZ]

Everyone who lives in Canada, this is GREAT news for you! And for those of us in the US, we may have to consider moving to Canada. I hope the US will follow Canada's footsteps on this one.

If this was already posted by someone else, I apologize.

Here's the message NORML sent out the other day:

The British Columbia Civil Liberties Association
Presents A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Law Reform:

BEYOND PROHIBITION
Legal Cannabis in Canada

It is far past time that cannabis be removed from the Criminal Code and
that a workable system of regulation replace Canada’s current social
policy of prohibition. Numerous studies and government commissions have
concluded that prohibition is a failed social policy that does more harm
than good. This conference, however, will not focus on the harms of
prohibition. Instead, participants from a wide variety of fields will
demonstrate the ramifications of a legal cannabis environment.

Discussion Topics Include

* Models for a Regulatory Environment – Recreational and Medical
* Law Enforcement and Judicial Resource Allocation
* Economic Impacts of Legalized Marijuana
* Internal Treaty Ramifications
* Public Health Perspectives
* The State of Cannabis Research
* Safe, Legal Cannabis Cultivation

Date of Conference: Saturday, May 8, 2004
Location: The Wosk Centre for Dialogue, Vancouver BC
Keynote Speaker: The Honourable Senator Pierre Claude Nolin

Tickets are available for $20 each. Ticket price includes admission to the
conference, a copy of all written materials presented at the conference
and two coffee services. Lunch is not currently included, but will be
provided budget permitting. Seating is limited and a maximum of two
tickets per person may be purchased.

For tickets or more information contact:
Kirk Tousaw, BCCLA Policy Director

is the conference going to be spoken in french?

[SS4DBZ]

Very doubtful. The only French part of Canada is Quebec. Quebec is like a completely different country in many ways. But the conference is being held in British Colombia, so it should be in English.

it's just weed....who cares if it's illegal, it only means it'll be harder for you to have it 24/7....

[Hanger18]

^tell that to someone who's gotten busted

[BossOTheGhetto]

Exactly. I live in Canada and I would be in Heaven if they decriminalized it.

[DankHeadDan]

HEY LOOK!!! yet another reason to hate canada....


EH?!?

[KB_124]

I thought more of Canada spoke french that just Quebec. I might be interested in going... (would depend on if I could find a good ticket price for that time)

If youre underage....

Is it hard for anyone of age on here to get alcohol when they want it? Cigarettes?

Its not even hard to get alcohol when youre underage, so how will making weed legal make it harder to get?

that's not wut i said i said that NOW it's illegal and it being illegal really reduces only 1 thing being how often u use it....sorry about that tho i was fucked up and didn't realize the issue of getting busted

[Lodo]

i forsee many roadies to canada

[Delita420]

Now this just makes me happy.

I live in Canada and I've been following this shit closely

The buzz is: It will most likely be legal to grow and buy it if you are 16 or older, just like smokes and booze.

BC ( British Columbia ) grows world renowned pot man its crazy theres hundreds of little cities (like 500 to 10 000 people) that there whole economy is based on pot sale. you can walk down the street and smoke a joint or whatever

Canada is a way better country for potthan the US.. im so proud to be a Canadian

if someone on a roadtrip wants to stop in ontario well have a good time. heh heh

peace
