Marijuana in Mexico

Mexico to legalize marijuana-based product sales next year. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwsoHAmzc

Great!

I was told it will be extremely controlled, with no more than 1% THC in any cannabis product. Pero, vamos a ver.

However, it still is good news for sure.

Crap. We'll need to roll one of those Cheech & Chong sized doobies.

Yep, that's why God created spliffs.

Aw, CB, that was supposed to be a thumbs up!!!

If growing become legal I'll plant a little garden for my guests to enjoy.

I doubt that consumption will increase. Everybody that wants it is already getting it.

I don't think it will attract new users however current users may consume more when they can fire up openly.

Statistically, it will, if you know what I mean.

Hey CanuckBob, we, south of you in the state of WA. where pot is already legal, remember the good old days in the 60s and 70s, when we all knew that there was nothing better than BC-bud. And it was easy to get. Is it still that good? For some reason it's hard to get in Seattle etc

Well now you can walk into any of the pot shops in Vancouver and choose from 50 or so different strains so I'm not even sure what BC bud is anymore. Back in the day BC bud generally referred to hydroponically grown clones.....

Bob, to get treated for cancer in Canada with cannabis does one have to be a Canadian national or do you just have to be there?

Well anyone can walk into a pot RX in Vancouver and get a "prescription" within a matter of minutes. Once you have the "prescription" you are able to purchase pot at any of outlets. You can buy buds, edibles, oils, etc., etc. They call it medical but it is full on recreational IMO although I'm sure some is used to treat cancer, etc.

There are more pot RX's than there are Starbucks outlets. When Canada goes full legalization next summer they certainly don't have to change anything in Vancouver as it has already been there for years.

Are there medical marijuana doctors who know what they're doing and what strains to treat what cancers or whatever illnesses? If so, do you have to be Canadian to be treated? 

Thanks.

Any foreigner can be treated in Canada for anything if they are willing to pay. Provincial medical plans only cover Canadian residents.

Ok. Thanks.
