oh thats gonna hurt..

if they think dragging their ass will help them?... :lol: Trudy you really are stupid.
You will lose business left right and center@@ watch them go!@!@
this industry is going to eat you alive and there will be no amount of policing that will help (:
 
Yep. The only people saying 2018 are the financial rags, and saying things like 'it's possible there will be sales as early as 2018'.

On top of the Jason Kenney has basically won the PC leadership, and will most certainly merge them with the Wildrose. Given the Wildrose could win on their own at this point, I don't expect it ever being legal in Alberta.

Not true. I've heard 2018 from lots of sources, not just financial. It's a crap shoot, but I'm still hoping for 2018. As for it being legal in Alberta...it will be legal nationally. Alberta may restrict where it is sold and consumed, but their reach stops there.
 
But f it's regulated provincially, couldn't AB just decide, as a province, that they don't want the evil green in their province?

No. It is federal legislation, Alberta's input is limited. They can pick and choose where it is bought and consumed and possibly minimum age of consumers but they can't restrict Canadians from engaging in a legal activity. When you factor in the revenue that will be generated for provincial coffers, the thought of a province not wanting a piece of that pie doesn't make sense.
 
I'm still having trouble believing that the LP investors would allow their gov't puppets to stall legal rec like this. They want their fucking money, and I find it unimaginable that they are allowing this to happen. Those sons of bitches are on a fast track to failure with, you know, poisoning people and shit, how can they abide by this delay?

I couldn't agree more. I think it's great they're losing so much. I just figured that the politicians they bought and paid for would be pushing it to happen. Very odd, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just over thinking the situation.

Cheers

What sources?

Also, the effect of Alberta styming all depends on what the federal legislation looks like. It's quite possible the legislation will make it a penalty to purchase from unauthorized sources, and most likely will increase penalties on unauthorized sellers. So it will be 'legal', but not legal. And when it comes to purely recreational cannabis, Hitzig v Canada doesn't apply, so until further court litigation it will likely be perfectly legal to make it impossible to buy/sell something that is legal to posess.

Given how long the Health Accord negotiations took (and they ultimately failed, provinces started cutting their own deals), 2018 is a pipe dream. There's a chart I'm trying to dig up that shows the progress to 2019, but it will probably take the entirety of this year to get legislation passed. Trudeau is now saying summer, and Parliament takes a summer break. Blair's 'tour' (paid vacation so he can assure his cop and fire friends legalization is really prohibition lite) also has to conclude.

Conservative Senators like Linda Frum are already banging their drums, I would bet on them trying to amend it and send it back to the House, if nothing more than a filibuster. And there is really no guarantee that the independent senator caucus (for lack of a better term) will swing one way or another, they are small l liberals, but they may have differing opinions on what legalization should look like, if they support it.

Creating an entirely new supply chain (unless the LPC decides mail order only is just fine) is going to take time. And things to be actually legal vs 'legal' is going to take even longer.
