Cali to potentially legalize marijuana for everyone.

[Fishbone Jones]

To summarize my opinions:

- Marijuana should be legalized in Canada for general populace use
- Marijuana should be banned and zero-tolerance in the Canadian Forces
- Alcohol should be banned and zero-tolerance in the Canadian Forces (like no more Basic Up episodes of recruits mentioning at some point how they want to get drunk over the holidays or some weekend. Or news articles of CF members get into drunken bar fights).
- Marijuana and Alcohol should be banned and zero-tolerance in any police or intelligence or military or border services as well (No more articles of police officers drinking and having alcohol party fest after long day of work. Or an RCMP officer drinking bottle of vodka every two days and then get charged for assaulting their spouse).

So the people that ensure you receive fair and equal treatment as a citizen, under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, are to be denied those same rights as you? Your post reaks of anti authority bias.

Are we on the same page yet of what I am actually saying...?

Absolutely. Your anti establishment, social engineering smugness comes through loud and clear. Another socialist do gooder that's going to try tell me what is good for me and if I don't agree, will squash my rights and make me a criminal through uselss laws designed to appease special interest groups. Yup, I know exactly your type......and what page you're on.

I regret getting sucked back into discussion with you. Back on my ignore list.

Hence my observations of life in general (as in not just with friends in parties or protest lines) how prevalent pot is these days in the civilian world outside of the Canadian Forces. If I can walk near or at Parliament Hill and smell whiff of pot (no matter who smoked it on any regular day or night of the year), the "war on pot" as long been lost. Even if I avoid my friends who smoke pot (and call the police on them as you seem to suggest), I will still somehow end up having THC levels in my blood from some random second hand smoke.

If we failed at deterring, and there is plenty of evidence of not being any more harmful than alcohol, then we are better off for the sake of the people and resources wise to legalizing and regulating. Bringing out strawmans and slippery slope arguments not going to change that fact. 

If you want to talk about me or give me advice, do so in PM or in another thread as it is off-topic in this one. If you do not like those conditions, talk to the Directing Staff. 

Then follow the rules of the message board with me and PM me or start another thread, and I will gladly discuss it with you. 

Of course it is sarcasm, and sorry if my sarcastic tone does translate well over text. I will make sure to use a smiley next time.

I was referring to civilian populace - ergo why my statement said "nor is it the majority belief in my family etc who are not related to the military (just to make it real clear and obvious for you).

I've walked by the Parliament buildings ... I've never had opportunity to inhale the scents you have.

Again, irregardless of your links (there's links that show other wise here in this thread) ... where is your link to the fact that the majority of Canadians want this legalized ... I'm still waiting.  :

You get called in for a drug test and you have THC in your system, you'll have lots of explaining to do. There's a whole heck of a lot of pers here on this site who've been there and done that testing ... and we aren't turning up even a little (let alone in droves) with THC in our systems --- again --- perhaps it's the company you keep.

PLEASE: Link me to the forum guidelines (ie the site rules) where it states that I can't respond to a point YOU made in one of your posts? I eagerly await it --- I must have missed it during my time as a site mod.

You want to discuss anything that differs with your point of view view PM?? THEN send your PoV via PM vice posting on threads.

There, it's settled. You post, we can comment IAW the site guidelines. Apparently you really do think that you're special in that no one is allowed to respond to you. Wrong. You don't post (a wonderful idea actually) and we can't respond. that's how it works for everyone else, yet apparently you seem to believe that you are special in that people can't make comments about what you post.

You are free to snap into reality anyday now; until then ... and until you show me the "rule" I broke by commenting on your comment ...

Buh-bye[/ignore]

My home city is Ottawa and spent a lot of time in the downtown area which includes the Parliament. Also attended various events, watched politicians do their thing at the house of commons, had meetings with some MPs or munches at their offices, etc. Then there is the fact Parliament Hill is fun the walk around and hang out during the summer, saying to the Parliament cats, check out the view around back and such. So yes, had many opportunities to get acquainted with our Parliament, and in turn the occasional scents of pot which I have unfortunately familiarized just before high school.

Again, irregardless of your links (there's links that show other wise here in this thread) ... where is your link to the fact that the majority of Canadians want this legalized ... I'm still waiting.  :

I never made that claim. I just said pot is prevalent in our country from my experience, and not just with the company I keep. 

You get called in for a drug test and you have THC in your system, you'll have lots of explaining to do. There's a whole heck of a lot of pers here on this site who've been there and done that testing ... and we aren't turning up even a little (let alone in droves) with THC in our systems --- again --- perhaps it's the company you keep.

Apparently medical has not found any in my blood either (unless they did not check with the blood sample they took).

Conditions as in the ones given to me by Directing Staff.  Something to do with not seeking attention and being responsible for thread closures.

You want to discuss anything that differs with your point of view view PM?? THEN send your PoV via PM vice posting on threads.

You started discussing me in the personal, not the topic of the discussion and thread. I start responding to comments of the personal here, then next thing I know there is a dogpile, thread gets close, public and PM warnings by the DS, and potentially banned.

that's how it works for everyone else, yet apparently you seem to believe that you are special in that people can't make comments about what you post.

They can comment, as you have, to what I say in relation to the topic at hand, but start discussing me and making outright assumptions in the personal, referencing other things not related to the topic in this thread, leads to problems. I am trying to be responsible and not to respond to them. Next time, I will just completely ignore and just focus on the parts that is actually related to the discussion.

You are free to snap into reality anyday now; until then ... and until you show me the "rule" I broke by commenting on your comment ...

Whole thing about being civil, not starting dogpiles, and such.
