You can't regulate cannabis like alcohol. How are you gonna deal with second-hand cannabis smoke in the air or where people can smoke and people growing and manufacture cannabis products at home?
Quoting: Cannabis Kills People You can't regulate Cannabis like Alcohol???Do you have any idea what it takes to operate a "legal" Cannabis grow operation in Canada? Obviously not with a statement like that.
For every 10Kg of dried Cannabis, each LP or Micro license holder must take about 200gr and have it Lab tested (by a certified Health Canada Lab) for various Chemicals, Microbes, Mildew, Pesticides, etc. Each Lab test cost around 3-5K...and the producer can NOT sell 1gr of that 10Kg batch/lot until it is cleared by the Lab and then Health Canada.
So, if you have a grow that is i.e. 1000Kg (very small operation)...that would be ~$300-500,000 in testing costs. Not chump change.
Second hand smoke??? I would worry more about the exhaust from Cars/Trucks before Cannabis smoke. Plus, it would take someone smoking a joint and blowing the smoke in your face for the entire joint for you to 'feel' anything.
Manufacturing products at home??? Not unlike the home brewers or people that make Wine at home...what is the difference?
CKP...bring it. I can debunk anything you throw out regarding Cannabis.
