[Goanet] Oh , Cannabis!
Excerpts from the Washington Post article: "The Washington Post reports that the Canadian government announced Wednesday that it will introduce legislation next year to decriminalize and legalize the sale of marijuana, making Canada the first G7 country to permit widespread use of the substance. Full legalization will make pot available in a way similar to alcohol. That could encourage Americans, particularly those in border areas, to pop over for a puff or two. “Canada will be the first G7 country to have a national recreational program different from Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington,” where state laws allowing marijuana use still bump up against U.S. federal prohibition." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/canada-to-introduce-legislation-in-2017-to-legalize-sale-of-marijuana/2016/04/20/85d375a0-0715-11e6-bfed-ef65dff5970d_story.html?wpisrc=nl_pdrainbow Comment:While the southern US border will be walled up and locked up (If Donald Trump has his way) the northern border may have to be made ready for a major increase in traffic. Our friendly Goan people in Toronto can look forward to another path to sossegado... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFBu8PnC4dI

E De Souza, Happily, this report is dated 4/20. Do the numbers ring a bell or need I say more? Mervyn BTW, there are several companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange that have been formed to supply users with just the strain of marijuana they require. These companies promote themselves as being at the expansion stage of liquor companies when prohibition ended. I believe they are correct. The firms that will corner the market are those that will become colossuses in the next few years. I can give you the names of the ones I think will be victorious. This is not a free service.

Mervyn Lobo: I see your remark about 4/20, but in another report dated 4/22 we learn from the Washington Post that: "With a swipe of his pen this week, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto proposed that Mexican citizens could legally possess up to an ounce of pot. The day before, Canada’s health minister stood at a United Nations podium and announced that her country would introduce new federal legislation to make cannabis legal by next year." Comment: You may be right about all those newly formed corporations on the TSE. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/the-movement-to-legalize-pot-gains-speed-in-the-americas/2016/04/22/211c7622-07f9-11e6-bfed-ef65dff5970d_story.html?wpisrc=nl_pwrainbow
Re: [Goanet] Oh, Cannabis!
E De Souza, Anyone can grow pot. I am told it is a hardy plant and is easier to grow than tomatoes. What will produce the giant companies, is how the product is marketed and distributed. Unfortunately, the people with the most experience in these fields - are sitting behind bars. In other words, for the first time in the west, lucrative opportunities are now opening for people with a jail sentence on their resume :-) What really annoys me is that we are going to have more impaired drivers on the road. You and me will have to pay the price Mervyn On Sat, Apr 23, 2016 at 11:16 AM, E DeSousa wrote: > Mervyn Lobo: > > > I see your remark about 4/20, but in another report dated 4/22 we learn > from the Washington Post that: "With a swipe of his pen this week, Mexican > President Enrique Peña Nieto proposed that Mexican citizens could legally > possess up to an ounce of pot.
