Bought weed for the first time legally yesterday. The store is on Queen St, a major street through Toronto, the windows of the shop are covered, I presume so under 19s can't see whats inside, a little ironic considering a lot of the Province run liquor stores here actually have windows displays. I showed my ID to the security guard at the front door and was shown in to a bright, clean shop, asked at the front desk if I wanted to make an express  order or go to the sales floors and look around. I made an express order, they didn't have the strain I was looking for in stock but talked me through alternatives. Then I placed my order for 2 grams (big spender I know!), had my name taken for the order and headed to the back of the store to pay by debit card. Given to two 1 gram pots which I took home in my lunch bag on the subway without even thinking about it. 

Overall a quick, convenient and safe experience. If they can do it so well in little Canada I'm sure they could easily do it in the UK.

I won’t even pretend that I’m not insanely jealous that you even have the option to do the above...[emoji52]

 

How much was your 2g, just for comparison to current illegal UK rates?

 

Does all weed smell so fucking minging? I smoked a little in my younger years but avoid it now. When it comes off someone else it's utterly mink

 

It smells fucking magic. Change your pants more often man, they’re obviously blighting your nostrils.

 

When you say you smoked a little in your younger years do you mean hash, or actual sweet pungent green goodness?

I'm no expert at all, it was all my friend's stuff. Nah, people that reek of it are stinking AF.

$27.10 13% of which was taxes, so around 16/17 pound I believe. My wife told me that seems a little expensive.

The city of Toronto currently has five legal weed stores. On Wednesday the Provincial government had a lottery and 42 business owners were chosen from 4,874 applications for the right to submit documents to open a legal weed store, 13 of the 42 are for locations in Toronto so hopefully a little more competition will lower the prices

It smells rank, especially when it's second hand on some minks clothing. f**k off and sit somewhere else you smelly c**t.

Absolutely this. There's a boy in work who always reeks of it and it's fucking minging. To combat this, I think he threw some in a belt or something in the machine he works on so that part of the shop floor just stinks of weed constantly. Horrible.

This even the smell gives me the boke. It even makes stale cigarette smoke desirable.

Jake balls that want to legalise weed are the same as The Rangers fans that want to sing songs.

sit on any bus on a weekend evening and you have drunks making the bus smell like a brewery and being general arseholes yet a stoner minding there own business is labelled a jakeball. Thankfully times are moving on and the stigma of weed is diminishing. alcohol does far more damage than weed ever will. A & E is full of drunks every weekend. you wont find a stoner there being abusive to nhs staff. Most people who demonize weed are those who read too much scaremongering in the msm and have never been high.

Here it costs me £20 for a 1.75 gram bag of fairly good green so you're slightly cheaper still.

 

Eta. Regarding if it smells bad or not I would imagine that depends on if you're a weed smoker or not. If associate positive feelings with the pong then it's pleasant getting a sudden whiff of it. Imagine smells shite to anyone else though.

I have been high m9 and I don't read scaremongering. I do know that every "stoner" I have known or seen is a smelly, minky jakeball and a total loser.

If you feel that strongly about alcohol, why don't you call for it to be illegal? No instead you call for something else to be legalised because something currently legal is worse?

2 wrongs don't make a right.

Buses are for jakeballs.

Arse. Bet you also know or have known folk you haven’t even realised smoke weed.

why would I call for alcohol to be made illegal when the majority of adults can have a drink and a laugh with no problems. I just think that weed is no more harmful than alcohol and is a far lesser burden on society than drink. Calling for a ban on alcohol in Scotland is like calling for a ban on guns in texas or calling for a ban on sectarian singing in Glasgow. 

you go to your gp with pain and they will prescribe you something far more addicting and dangerous than weed

As I said thankfully attitudes are changing and I know a number of people who would drop alcohol in a heartbeat if weed became legal. Medicinally it would give pain patients the option to use weed instead of opiates which are highly addicitive and can cause horrible withdrawals even on recommended dosages.

^^^Lost the argument.

Don't smoke dope (or very rarely) but the smell of patchouli oil is far worse.

And at the same time bet you have known folk that are sober during the day. I don't see your point?

 

I might be misreading the tone of your posts, but despite how you’ve referred to stoners you’ve ‘known’ or ‘seen’, it’s coming across like you’re trying to paint all stoners as total losers and stinking minks.....Which I’d agree with but only if referring to the types who sit on their arse not working and smoking it all day.

 

Not everyone who smokes weed fall into this category though.
