They also don’t seem to care much that they hot box their car when they are smoking and driving with kids in it either.

    Yea maybe but the way the media is portraying the stats is (as usual) misleading.

    Again we are fighting centuries of ignorance. Not even 100 years ago parents were encouraging each other to apply whisky to the gums of teething infants...

    Even today some pregnant women believe it is ok to have one beer or one glass of wine during certain stages of pregnancy even though the jury is still out on whether small amounts of alcohol can affect the baby.

    At the end of the day the media is reacting similar to prohibition time for alcohol. This only breeds idiocy....

    No kidding. Sugarphreak always seems to have stories about skids that ruined their life.

    Here's a run down of Alberta's plan.

    https://www.alberta.ca/cannabis-legalization.aspx

    Honestly disappointed that there's no proposition of banning smoking it, for health reasons. I've got no problem with marijuana use at all, but it's a fairly well known fact that inhaling anything into your lungs is a bad idea. At least with oil or vaporizers you don't have the same negative health effects.

    If there were a ban on everything people do that negatively affects health, then we all might as well lie down and die.

    Bottom line: Criminalizing an individual for what they wish to do with their body, is a violation of human rights and freedom.

    I'm obviously not suggesting that, however the government has spent decades (and god knows how much money) specifically curbing cigarette legality for health reasons, but now they're saying it's cool to smoke a joint (vs vaporizing or oil)? Just makes no sense to me. Why not nip it in the bud (har har) to begin with?

    One thing to keep in mind is you don't smoke marijuana like regular smokes.

    No one smokes "a pack a day" of joints. You'd probably just fall asleep.

    Even the most heavy users will probably smoke a couple joints a day. Most people will smoke a lot less than that. Not nearly as bad as regular smoking.

    Whether or not said product is considered a health risk or not, is irrelevant to my point.

    You're seeing this as a "right to do whatever I fucking want" problem, I'm seeing it as a "how many years before someone uses the negative health effects of smoking to get it banned again" problem.

    Very surprised at how lax the Alberta proposed rules are... thought it would be similar to Ontario where it’s basically private residences only. One thing the ndp is on track to get right in my opinion

    From a Calgary herald article:
    “When recreational cannabis is legalized July 1, smoking or vaping the drug will be banned anywhere in Alberta where tobacco use is already prohibited.

    Toking will also be barred in cars, around hospitals, on school grounds and close to areas frequented by children, such as playgrounds, daycares, sports fields, public pools and zoos.

    But Albertans will be free to spark up a joint anywhere else, from sidewalks to provincial parks.”

    Who's footing the ultimate bill? It's going to be an increase and strain on the already strained health care system. Who's going to pay for it? You make it seem like money grows on trees and is not a societal concern.

    TikTok has a point. We've been trying to curb smoking for decades with finally something to show for it, only to simply open a new door to it and welcome it along. Seems pretty contradictory

    First I'm fairly certain every peer reviewed research paper has shown tobacco smoking and marijuana smoking are nothing alike and marijuana smoking does not show the same unquestionable casual relationship with cancer.

    Second, the legalization/accepted use of marijuana in the global sense is nothing new. I don't believe there is any evidence that has shown a population's health has decreased and health care costs have increased after legalization.

    I'd be happy to change my view on this if you can provide evidence to contradict what I've said.

    The conversation, no matter what side you're on has to revolve around facts and data not feelings or guesses people have about how it will pan out.

    You're assuming that marijuana decriminalization will result in a negative financial outcome.

    Aside from that, people do all sorts of shit that is detrimental to their health and our pocket books. That just leads to another debate in which one could ask, "Why are people forced to pay for another"?
