    All theses compassion clubs need to comply with health and safety standards and have their products tested for molds pesticides etc, by a designated lab in the city, and the city also should come up with licenses for both store front and small time producers, just like beer you have commercial producers and craft brewers, simple.

    Marijuana should be regulated the same as tomatoes are.

    Old white people still demonizing Marijuana. Legalize that shit to keep drug related activities down. Think real hard why it hurts the drug dealers

    Why regulate it at all?

  6. @djrec0111 on May 10, 2025 at 10:49 am

    My god can we just legalize it already and save these dispensary worker’s from getting a criminal record for working a job and trying to make a living? I mean now they will have trouble finding new work just because of the fact that they will have a criminal record for something that should already be legal or decriminalized.

    It won’t happened, we got a stupid government they prefer to argue against each other rather then unite and do something good.

    The hell is that noise in the background?

  10. @Epsilon-Cz on May 10, 2025 at 10:55 am

    All these people wanting to legalize this gateway drug a shame. Has are society become that stupid to be addicted to a plant. Shame indeed

    I ultimately have doubts about the affordability of legal regulated marijuana.

    We must be able to grow it at home as well. Just like you grow a tomato plant and brew your own beer.

  14. @ilyaishevchenko on May 10, 2025 at 11:09 am

    1. We have to differentiate the purpose first – marijuana as a medication and marijuana for fun.
    2. Strictly control production of medication marijuana. production and distribution only by government establishments.
    3. Prohibit "marijuana for fun". exclude any production and distribution of marijuana except of medication purpose.

    Decriminalize/legalize it ! DO NOT REGULATE IT !!!

  16. @scorp10fl53 on May 10, 2025 at 11:12 am

    We have an alcohol control board but you can brew beer or make wine without ramifications. Then you can drink your face off and nobody faults you. So why should you not be able to grow a few plants for yourself? This is a question I’d like answered.
    The health benefits, relief from pain and discomfort put aside, there is a social aspect which is being prejudiced in this reasoning. Because I use it with discretion, infrequently and for nothing more than an occasional lift on a sunny or gloomy overcast day does not make me a criminal or a pot-head.
    As usual, governmental regulation and privatization serve to create revenue for growers and governments through the determination of a medical practitioner.
    It’s time we looked very closely to the statistics regarding cannabis and applied those results in the same way we look at alcohol instead of burying or disregarding them.

    legalize to grow, designated areas to smoke.

  22. @cravetheheat on May 10, 2025 at 11:21 am

    Watch the progress of The Allard case in the Supreme Court it is larger than Trudeau and the case continues Aug 24th do your research esp if your a medical patient this is our constitutional right to produce our own safe medicine for personal use

  23. @1140Cecile on May 10, 2025 at 11:22 am

    It shouldn’t be any different than growing tomatoes, using what you need yourself and selling the excess to farmer’s markets in the case of tomatoes and dispensaries in the case of marijuana. Why start making a big deal about how to grow and sell marijuana now that we know it shouldn’t have been illegal in the first place? Sheesh!
