DIdn't he only pardon like 12 people?

Drug scheduling makes no fucking sense. It doesn't rank how dangerous a drug is at all. I mean, ketamine is pretty safe, but it is addictive and you can have similar withdrawals as you can to opiates, albeit easier to deal with. You can buy as much booze as you want any time despite it being arguable the most dangerous drug there is, it's partially cause everyone can get as much as they want any time that this is the case, but not entirely. If you're getting drunk daily, you're not treating your body any better than a heroin addict except it's your liver taking the brunt instead of your kidneys and the withdrawal can kill you where with heroin you'll just feel like dying. If H was at a comparable price point per daily fix as booze is, any societal issues with the drug would dissappear cause addicts could more easily get the money to stay well, drunk people can be dangerous as hell just cause they're drunk. It's all vibes based.

It's the thought that counts, sweatie!

Like, at best they'd run your pockets and tske away what you had on you. One time when I was 18 or 19 walking to my parents place after a party, and it had been a really far walk, like a good 20 km, so although I was drunk at the start I wasn't by this point when a cop pulled up on me like 5 blocks from home, I guess I had stumbled a bit but once I was talking to her and explained I was on my way home and very close and how far I'd already come from quite safely she was about to leave until another fucking cop was coming by and decided to also pull over. She said 'fuck, it's my supervisor, sorry' searched me, found like 5 grams asked if it was for personal use, I said yup and then supervisor cop wanted to take me to the drunk tank and we both pointed out I'm wayyyy closer to my house than the drunk tank so I got put under arrest, cuffed and then released to the custody of my parents as an adult. ACAB but some Ca are more Bs than others, the cop that was gonna let me off seemed concerned my parents would come down hard on me, they knew where I was and what I was doing, it was fine. They did come out and chew the supervisor out. Later while being arrested at a protest with a group of people and they were trying to get us to rat they asked us as a group which of us had a criminal record, after a while they finally called my name about it, turns out that 'record' was the 5 grams seized, but that's not a criminal record because I was never charged, they just ran names and found a seizure, but there was never any charged and I was placed under arrest to my parents custody (illegally cause adult) for drunk in public charges and possession never came up.

They really dropped the ball in our province and had the government handle the whole retail part, like they do liquor. They failed to consider how absurdly cheap weed had always been here and that everyone already had at least one dealer. They did the American 8th/quarter kinda thing and with essentially a $10/g cost until you hit an Oz with is still $120 at the lowest, double street price. Canada weed prices go $10 per g, 3 for $25, 5 for $40, if you're buying small quantities, but if you're not a sucker it's easy as hell to find a solid quality ounce for $60. I pay $40 per oz
