Hi Steve and welcome.

[arbys]

not much else to do when it's -40 degrees outside.

I love having great fires in the forest in winter (I find it much more beautiful snowcovered) and drinking litres of beer and smokin grams of weed (pot gets you a fine here, not jailtime...unless you're cultivating/trafficking bigtime) and having a barbeque! Winter is gorgeous! The colder the better!!!! Although I'd love to go south for a week or so, I'd soon miss home (and work).

[arbys]

Now this is what I call a flag!!!! I'll salute to that!

[Fred Weiss]

Now I understand why some of your posts are the way they are. :cool1:

Welcome Steve !

Dura - FYI there's actually a specialty crop scientist researching hemp (non-recreational) in Saskatoon where I did graduate study work. I also worked for an entreprenuer who grows 1000's of acres of dwarf hemp for seed to crush into salad oil (has a nutty taste). The old varieties used to be 8 feet tall and it would be easy to get lost in there :rolleyes: On the flag :Canada: ??? :Big Laugh you're killing me.

[arbys]

Well Dale, there's an Agricultural College a block from me and a few years ago they
were growing different varieties of pot (inside tall fences) for the Canadian government
(testing different strains to give terminal patients).

Then there's that underground mine(what other kind is there?) in Flin Flon, Manitoba
(a huge modern hydroponic facilty) that grows it for the guv'ment.

It's crazy that hemp is illegal in the States because it has only trace amounts of THC, and it's such a beneficial crop. Its fibre can be used to make clothing and MDF and its oil can be burned in diesel engines(the diesel engine was originally designed to burn vegetable oil). Hey, Willie Nelson uses biodiesel in his tour buses! Willie's tha man!

[Dale Horn]

DG - Last time I was at the U of M to give a presentation. Our hotel was above that stripper bar so the keg party ended up being pretty lively. There were some East Indian graduate students there (I didn't know they weren't allowed to be seen holding a womans hand until they're married) :Oops: Well it was all in the spirit of "education".

Hemp jeans - I'm suprised how tough they are - they're quite comfortable and get soft like dress pants as they age . Maybe we have a crop here that won't be subsidized by the taxpayer :unclesam: :brittain: :Australia :Canada: . Wheat and canola have to go.

Steve - man Winnipeg get's it's fair share of nasty winter weather ?

[Fred Weiss]

So I would be correct in noting that they smoke more than fish in Canada?

[Dale Horn]

You're welcome to come and see ...

I have to warn you though it can cold enough that even the politicians have to keep their hands in their own pockets.

Hell will have to freeze over for that to happen!

[arbys]

Some of us, yes, others(like my Mom), are whacked and don't touch booze or pot, listen to Christian radio, and believe too much of what they see of TV. Actually, I'm not chronic, but one of my employees is, and dammit, he's the best person I've ever had the privelege of employing...I don't know what I'd do without him.

Canada, once polite and boring, has had a quick evolution lately. I used to think of The Netherlands and Scandinavia as the world's most liberal/forward-minded societies, but now it seems Canada is neck-and-neck with 'em....marijuana is on the verge of being decriminalized and gays and lesbians can marry. It really hit home when a week ago when I scanned the paper, and in the "marriage announcements" section, what was there but a pic of a lesbian couple, holding hands and smiling into the camera, gay as can be(ah, love, it's a beautiful thing). Things have changed! :-)

Oh well, c'est la vie, and live and let live.

In Vancouver the government's created a safe shoot-up facility, where junkies are given free heroin(or methadone if they choose to quit), a nice room to inject, and nurses in case of an OD or whatever. It's had a positive effect on the community as violent crime has fallen, addicts aren't shooting up and passing out on the streets(at all hours of the day), these poor people aren't whoring themselves on the corner for a $10 fix(not that I'm against prostitution...it's a victimless crime really...oh no, I forgot about the government...it's the victim since it doesn't get tax revenue from these mostly-cash transactions...hmmm, makes you wonder why it's illegal), and AIDS transmissions are greatly reduced (free clean needles...no sharing). Giving addicts free heroin sounds like a crazy idea, but it's working.

By the way, weed is the only illicit drug I condone.

"By the way, weed is the only illicit drug I condone."

amen :thumb:

we canadians smoke then fish, smoke and fish,then smoke the fish :Big Laugh

In canada if ya got 3 doctors to sign forms to say yer fukd up, the gov will sell it too ya fer cheap, even give ya your own designated grower.

oh ya this is the sign board i forgot :Oops:

[arbys]

From what I hear, you don't want to buy from the guvment...lame sh*t.
It only takes a 400 watt high pressure sodium to grow as much as you can smoke.

Can you believe Tommy Chong went to jail for selling pipes (no dope, no residue... just glass pipes)? Now why send a man to jail for that? Aren't jails crowded enough? Aren't judicial systems bursting at the seams? What are our incarceration rates? Do we really need to stress the system by imprisoning people for recreational smoking?

Who does it hurt? Have you heard of people smoking a couple joints and then beating their wives? Of course not. Not like alcohol. Alcohol's ruined innumerable more lives than pot ever will.

Anyway, yes, signs.......sorry.

I have to make some now.
