Canada has made pot boring?

Santiago - 4-22-2019 at 05:54 AM

Interesting, funny and just a little sobering take on how one Canadian views the legalization of pot here.
For you "Nomad-must-be-about-Baja-only" purists, the fact that I have included "Canada" and "pot" should just about cover it I should think.

Funny Jim!:biggrin:

While it is legal to use marijuana there, it is still illegal to take it into Canada!

I am not sure a smug journalist from Toronto represents the "Canadian" perspective...:rolleyes:

The legalization makes it all a bit less of a hassle to spark one up....the 'boring" dimension is the poorer quality offered in dispensaries, regardless of the fancy names of strains and the shop interior design.

Sticking with "a guy you know" still offers better quality and a lower price (by about 30%)....

It's ironic that pot is now a corporate commodity operated by "The Man".....

best part of going legal is we can grow our own high quality herbs at a low cost and pesticide free

Yes....as long as the neighbours aren't too "nosey"....just tell them the smell of skunk is just the resident packrat....

Calling some gardeners looking for a few clones....seeds are a gamble....:coolup:

Yes, much better still going through your local "dealer."

Nice thing about beans is you can find a keeper phenotype that will keep everyone happy for a long while, and if you have nosey neibs you can grow some pineapple smelling stuff,,No skunks allowed

I'm old enough to remember Mex weed was all there was,
the last weed I bought was $15 an oz., with that one was
flirting with a jail sentence. In Ca. you can grow 6 plants,
saw a billboard that had home delivery of weed. Things
have changed

Meaning that the neighbors might rip off your crop? Or is there still some illegality to growing it?

Anybody growing "the good stuff" in Baja?
Thinking some high quality "Canadian" seeds dropped near any remote water might work.
But I'm guessing those miles and miles of "tomato tents" might have a high quality plant or 2.
I mean... miles and miles of grow tents.. ?
And all that good desal water...
I better put my best Zonky on this case...

And I hear the crap you can buy in Ensenada is headache weed.
I guess the large quantities of bad smelling smoke will get you "high"...
Like a cigarette would...

I hear that old people use pot to ease pain and such...
And sometimes I feel a little... old:cool:

not to mention a great sleep aid for the oldsters and I hear no complaints about a little buzz along the way!:D

I think the real question here is:

Has Canada herself,(God Save the Queen), become (even more) boring since pot was legalized?
It's been pretty quiet up there since every one got stoned:cool:
How are you feeling Canada? Is it helping or hurting you in anyway? Or a non-event?
I hope it's a good experience.

I would check it out myself but I was arrested for picking up panties that were on the sidewalk once.
I recognized them as the kind strippers wear... you know before they take them off and throw them at me...
And just like a good pair of stripper panties... the charges were dropped for me;)

But I think being such an infamous panty bandit prevents me from getting a CanPass for by some CanWeed.

So how's, about a report.
Isn't Baja overrun with Canadians.
I would say they are the experts on this subject.
Pot..., not panties...:coolup:

I try my best;)

I'm in heaven.


A nice fish about every 3 days or so... if I can climb out of the panty pile...;)

fishbuck - 4-26-2019 at 02:12 PM

I think where I may have gone wrong was that when the Law Inforcement Professional asked me if I knew who's panties they were...
I should have used my right to remain silent instead of my right to free speech...
I asked him if they were his...:no::no:

fishbuck - 4-26-2019 at 02:22 PM

Soo if you are walking down the sidewalk to the local worship center to partake in a legal religious experience...
Don't stop for panties!

It's a trap by some very creative and somewhat unneccesary police activity.
They call it.... A Gee-sting...
Try to walk around them as fast as possible... don't get them stuck on your flip-flop... that is a who nother crime...;)
