Like another user said - an app that explains different strains/types of MJ and possibly a Yelp-style app for finding local dispensaries with good reviews would probably make a pretty penny.

You go Canada. Doing the right thing.
Hopefully it´s gonna spread faster around the world in the coming years. It´s inevitable so just do it already all other countries.

If people could still get it cheaper on the street if would defeat one of the biggest reasons to legalize. I don't think anyone would be that stupid.
Maybe make an app to locate distribution centers or areas of interest related to marijuana.
You could implement a periodic table of sorts that aggregates information about strains and stuff...

Will this allow to grow yourself?
If so, get a small tent, with 4 plants or so,boom, your gram is gonna cost you like 1-2$ instead of 10+$.

Eh, no, it still needs restriction like alcohol does. i.e. must be done on your property, illegal to be on the influence while driving (probably exists but those laws will likely need to be updated), don't sell to minors, etc.
On top of that though, we can't just say it's unharmful to everyone. Like with alcohol, someone with certain mental conditions should not be taking marijuana because it may just worsen their state. However, there's no way to monitor someone like that to not take neither alcohol nor marijuana, so perhaps the point is moot.
And I think there should be research on what happens when one takes it daily over a long period of time. Smoking daily or alcohol daily can lead to some eventual health detriments, depending on the individual. Once legalized, that will have to be looked at as well since it's now available to purchase.

Nova Scotia, I think.
I'd be surprised if they allowed it, nice though it would be. I'm sure they want to rake in as much revenue as possible from it

Junior, please.
Yes, probably. Thousands of medical users are already allowed to grow as of last month.
OK, I'll give you a call early next year. It's going to be.

I don't see it being any different than homebrewing.
That's where the enforcement is going to come in, Fine and jail the traffickers, create a government monopoly to tax it.

I don't disagree, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I just think it might be a future amendment rather than from the word go
It'll probably be shut down come April 29th unfortunately

Develop a 'kit' of POS and backend systems, designed around the sale and display of marijuana. Iterate and market heavily. A lot of clueless stoners are gonna be starting businesses, and if you can sell them an all-in-one system, you stand to make a killing whether their businesses sink or swim. I don't think you'd need any custom hardware - Most stores here in WA use tablets and Square readers, or something like them. You'd just need to have them as set up and ready to go as possible.

Doesn't change the content of the thread, but regulate should be in the title as well, there's a big big difference between simply not making it a criminal offence and regulating its retail sale, which is the plan.
As does the first sentence of this article. The title isn't really complete. Hopefully a mod can fix it.

Wish the UK had a PM like Trudeau. Instead we have David Cameron, and Theresa May. Now our government is wanting to stop govt. scientists from disagreeing with them and pass the Psychoactive Substances Bill.

Doubt it will be in your lifetime. Too many obstacles to keep preventing true legalization

Canada has a majority government, so this is basically going to happen no matter what right?
How often is a Canadian charged for casual use nowadays? As long as they're not driving, the law doesn't really care much anymore. The war on pot was over a long time ago in Canada. This legislation is really just about finally getting the paperwork done and establishing distribution and tax regulations. And yes, it's long overdue.
Pretty much, besides how else is Trudeau going to help pay for all his infrastructure funding right? Lol
Great news because I would like to have a toke sometimes and being able to get from a shop would be great. That said I expect the many dispensaries we have here in Toronto will be shut down and the country will either have the LCBO distribute it or some new store they run. Either way the dispensaries will more than likely get the axe.
I won't hold my breath on all the income going to good things because gov't has no problem collecting money but often screws the pooch when figuring out how to spend it properly. Ultimately this is good though because incarceration or fines for smoking weed is ridiculous in this day and age.
