There are two words I am absolutely not saying here. They begin with 'F' and 'P' respectively.

The only thing higher will be the horse many US Senators will be riding to Canada to whine about its effect on the War on Drugs.

Never understood this focus on marijuana. Abuse of pharmaceuticals is up at least just as much.

Canada +1

Is the stock symbol "WOAH"?

Stock symbol= CTH. They must have been high when they thought of that.

What I really liked was: "Irwin now gets a monthly supply delivered to her home in a gold bag for $5 a gram, a cost that she can claim as a medical expense on her income tax return."

Home delivery, low price and tax deductible - Pay attention Uncle Sam!

I don't see what the big deal is. Cocaine, opiates and amphetamine all have medical applications. If cannabis can be an effective treatment - and better than other medicines available - then there should at least be some research. I don't like smoking as a delivery method. Smoking anything can be harmful. Maybe pills or syrup or an asthma-like inhaler.

I agree with thisispete that smoking sucks as a delivery method but if you're already dying and your doctors agree smoking plain old cannabis (rather than taking pills etc.) can be a hell of an effective medication promoting sleep and appetite as well as managing pain.

IMHO Seriously underused medically for social and financial reasons.

15 cents CANADIAN.

Which is somewhere around half a penny American, I believe. ;)

It'll settle at 420.

Do you have to be Canadian to use the TSX?
 
2006-04-06 07:55:22 AM
That'll be confusing for the new Prime Minister! It means that if he opposes medical marijuana (which he does), he'll have to crack down on an actual corporation (which is against US policy). He just won't know how to handle this one...
 
2006-04-06 07:55:48 AM
Yeah, but its something.

My brother and I, he lives outside Buffalo N.Y., usually, when saying canadian, close or wink our left eye like we're getting over. Try it. Wink while saying it "canaadian"

Even the longest journey starts with a single step. ;o)

I just took my "dose".

But i do have to say that, people are right. if this is going to work for medical reasons then smoking is not exactly the best way to go about it. that is unless your terminal. then hey, whadya got to lose?

The War on Drugs?
Is that thing still on?

I tought that whole campaign pretty much fell apart when the US turned on their great drug-war allies in Afghanistan.

clevershark:

When asked for comments a spokesman for the company replied "Dave's not here, man."

I worked at a railroad. In the middle of the night, had a older guy, mid 40's, in a beat up Datsun pull up to the dinky shack I was working in and poke his head in the door. He'd been there before, a friend of one of the other guys on my shift. I'd been telling the guy for weeks that he wasn't allowed to just invite his friends over to "hang out" even if it was three AM, but he obviously didn't listen.

"Yo."
"One second sir. Gotta finish this before they try to lift the cargo."
"Uh, so, where's Dave?"
"Sec, please. Dave who?"

So I finish what I was doing and turn around.

"Yo, is Dave working tonight?"
"Dave's not here, man."
"Whoa, you've like totally seen the best movie ever! Dave and I saw that one on TV like last week after we got farked up on this great shiat from BC."
"Really?"
"Yeah, man. We farking laughed our asses off for like.. HOURS! Anyway, I got some more shiat and was gonna drop some off for Dave. Where's he at?"
"We don't have anyone working by the name of Dave tonight. So Dave's really not here, man."
"SWEET. Can you like, page Dave, so I can give him his shiat?"

Dude wasn't listening. So I went straight to "Let's make him smell like urine too".

"Could you hold on a second? I'm going to have to ring the federal agent. Who are you, by the way?"
"I'm Dave's friend Tom. WHOA. UHHH. WHAT?!"
"Oh yeah, I'll need your driver's license and car keys, sir."
"UHHHHH.. You're not a cop!"
"See the big red sign on your way in? The one that reads 'All vehicles subject to search. Valid ID must be presented on request.'?"
"DUDE. This is not cool! I've got like $400 in weed in my truck!"

I thought the guy was going to break down in tears at this point.

"Don't worry, they'll probably just seize it. We're more interested in terrorism around here. Haven't got a gun or ammo or anything else I'm going to have to report besides the weed, right? Even bringing fireworks in here becomes a federal terrorism charge in a heartbeat."
"fark man, fark. I'm not gonna lie to you man, I've got some shotgun shells in there. fark. Can we just like, not mention those?"
"Mabye. We'll see how it goes when the FBI agent gets here. So can you get me your license and keys, please?"
"UHHHHH.. My license.. It's in the car, man! And.. KEYS. They're, like, in the car too, man."
"Oh, go ahead and get them while I call the agent."

Guy took off, rubber burning, and must've been doing about sixty when he hit the exit. Dave and I had a good laugh about it the next night when he came in.

Espertron: I am in full favor of (cough, cough) state's rights

Ahh, the West Coast. No surprises there. The question is whether it's liberalism or their close proximity to BC.

Personally, I think the best approach would be to buy in just a little and sit on it. One day, when marijuana is 100% legal, this will shoot through the roof as the company migrates to legal selling.

I predict the stock in Coffee Crisp will go through the roof!

The real way to cash in here is through the after-effects.
Time to buy junkfood stocks!

ColonelFlagg: go synthetic. go marinol.

Actually there are a couple of things wrong with Marinol.

1- It's still a prohibited narcotic in several states.
2- It doesn't do sh*t for you if you can't hold down food. It's a pill!
3- It'll f*ck you up a lot worse than smoking weed.

On the other hand it's made by a large company, which makes it acceptable to the governments of states that do allow its use... I wonder if "campaign contributions" have anything to do with that.

This is all to help the Tim Horton's Stock go through the roof. Buy that before you buy this stock. Its just gonna get high, have the munchies and then burn out, man.

it's gonna be a spray for under the tongue or inside the cheek. some people find it helps take the edge off the pain assoc with MS and chronic pain but results from major study in UK are said to be 'disappointing'



their website has an *male* plant on the banner: (pops)

What I fail to understand is the cops busted a dismantled a huge grow operation in disused Molson facilities in Barrie and then pay large amounts for what is described as awful weed grown in an underground mine.

Why not let Molson just re-open the planet? Who better?

To handle anything he'd have to surface from deep-throating the US Executive Branch's collective penis. Harper is a disgrace. Thankfully, a disgrace with a minority government.

article -
"This is not about fun. It's about function," said a stern Znaimer, who serves as chairman of Cannasat's board of directors. "This is not marijuana that people come to because they're looking for a good time."

Forgive me if I'm skeptical, but the article states that this company will only be able to supply a tiny fraction of medical marijuana users and the rest will still have to go to their friend or some biker to get their "meds". farking decriminalize it already, tools! I'd grow a dozen plants in my closet if I could give them to some cancer patient and not have to worry about prison.

farking Liberals should have decriminalized it while they had the chance. Cowards.

In other news, FritoLay is up by 10.
 
2006-04-06 09:25:28 AM
They ought to change CTH to THC, obviously :)


"Canada is one of the few countries in the world where researchers can access legally grown marijuana for research purposes, Znaimer pointed out. "

Ok, I have a research project enabled "How Much Marijuana Can One Man Realistically Grow", where do I apply?

Canada has officially earned 250 cool points in a competitive market where 500 cool points earns you a commemorative hat.

btw, the application to qualify for medical marijuana is aboot 30 pages, requires recent photographs of your good self, signature of your doctor and i forget what else (we were a bit altered when we phoned, on a lark, to ask to have it sent. straightened up right quick when we ploughed through it)
