NO LIQUOR STORES

They do not belong in the same breath even let alone the same industry.

Boycott this bullshit at its finest!!

TheRealDman · Dec 11, 2015

Amen to that!

These new stores may be Gov run, but should not be tied in any way to existing liquor stores.

bugging guys outside the liquor store to pull for you and your buddies is a standard coming of age practice in Canada. to say they can keep weed out of the hands of children -any better than anyone else- is laughable.

Wrong place, wrong message. Here in Colorado, the recreational law as passed was titled 'treat marijuana like alcohol', yet I never saw even one serious suggestion that it be carried in the same store with the Bud(weiser) and Wild Turkey.

People here are well aware of the fact that the two are completely different and that it makes no more sense to go to a package liquor store for weed than it does to get your car fixed at McDonald's...

That sounds like Huxley's Brave New World.

Personally, I don't see the problem with the liquor stores selling it. But they should not be given exclusive distribution unless a producer wishes to deal with them exclusively.
Some people like to have a beer with their joint, so why deny them their convenience in being able to get both at the same place?

This isn't an issue of sacrilege...it's just about the cash and the "security" others will feel from it being handled in a manner that is no worse than liquor. Part of the selling point towards legalization has been the taxation factor; does it not seem a logical step for its distribution to be capitalized upon by the very people writing that legislation?

Part of the price tag of freedom is competition.

My issue is that booze saIes should go down once weed is "everywhere" but by seIIng both together, it encourages peopIe to buy both..its too easy.

If great bud was soId separate--it has to be great bud or people wiII want "more buzz" and not stop the booze --, U might get more peopIe to stop buying booze--which would be great, IMO.

The marketing for booze is too great....it sounds so great, hey, treat your dry mouth with this stuff. Water ? thats for children

I'm sure our children will appreciate the convenience of being able to beg strangers to buy them both weed and alcohol at the same place.

I want to know what those other "skillfully combined...ingredients" are.

They're both intoxicants.
I don't see the problem with it being sold in the same place.

Also, not all liquor stores are gov run, even in places with gov run liquor stores there are also private options. Manitoba has said they'd allow sales in all liquor stores and it looks like more privately owned liquor stores are on the way for them too.

the problem is for years the liquor industry has profited off weed being illegal. where I grew up we had no option but to choose alcohol over weed, because there was no weed to be had. now the same guys want not just a piece but the whole pie. fuck that noise.

maybe not for sales, but I love me some tincture

Producers enjoyed prohibition.
Retailers would've always enjoyed sales of popular products.

It's not the retailers, it's the producers.

I could be wrong but I couldn't see booze sales going down just because weed was legal.

TheRealDman · Dec 13, 2015

The liquor stores have already said they only want pre-packaged cannabis products. You won't be buying any fresh budz @liquor stores...you can be sure of that.

I know i personally pretty much stopped drinking except the odd drink during holidays or celebrations. I just found that it was cheaper than drinking and no hangovers.

Legalization should be the furthest thing we are worried about...medical then recreational.
