There is none. Thankfully when this legalization scheme comes out later this year or next, these people will no longer have to lie to themselves that they're 'sick' and need marijuana as some cure all medicine. These people can finally just say "Because I like they way makes me feel" and we can accept that. All these people self medicating with marijuana is not a good thing. Once we accept that it's not 'medicine' then maybe we can start to look at habitual marijuana users the same way we see alcoholics, and acknowledge the genuine social harm and health risks associated with its habitual use.

I think more of a Offencive odder law .(like being behind a hake truck from ukee).Downwind of a fire ,purfume,calone,somthing one has ate,stepped in somthing,poor hygein,.being beside a peron on a boat, bus, car,ect whom smells is a distraction and can cause harm to others ,sucks when we all as neighbors suffer for a few or one. On the lighter side there will be people comming out of jail and applying now ,with the refferances and done working time that got them to prison in the first place.

I'm not getting in to the mental gymnastics with the people who want to legitimize their drug addiction.
People just need to come to terms with the fact they like to use this drug because it makes them feel good. No other reason. With the coming legalization (and heavy taxation) these addicts are hopefully soon going to look just as pathetic as the alcoholics seen milling around a liquor store before it opens to go buy a bottle of Red Tassel.
Anyone who is feeling anxiety about possibly not being able to consume marijuana in a given location has a serious drug problem. They just need to admit it.

Che, I think you are the one that needs to read up on the benifits of CBD. It’s not addicts that are using the drug. You sound like a old man that watch reefer madness one to many times.
There are many "recreational" users - 4 sure - and the THC is the most recognized and "valued" alkaloid component of many that the plant can produce. You can get it to produce high levels of CBD verses THC.
And there are some risks (e.g. psychosis) to adolescents and their brain wiring by having high THC and low/no CBD hydroponic weed.
And one is inhaling particulate matter, if one smokes cannibus (and there are other ways to ingest cannibus, of course).
So yes, there are admittedly some risks w marijuana use.
Yet, both alcohol and smoking are "legal" and promoted by the government and the industry. Legal only because the government and industry makes quite a bit of $$$ off these products - not because of any health benefits.
Instead, both have severe health and social risks and consequences -far, far more than marijuana use. Hypocritical to be anti-marijuana if you use cigarettes and/or alcohol IMHO.
But unlike cigarettes and/or alcohol use - marijuana also has positive health benefits for some users - notably those with severe chronic pain, cancer, seizures, etc. As Dave, bones, Casper, ILHG, Rockfish, WIWF and other posters have already correctly pointed-out. In these contexts - the benefits outweigh the risks, IMHO.
The only issue I have w any drug or alcohol being used wrt vehicles/boats - is the potential reduction in paying attention and thinking - before and after a marine incident. I think the driver needs to keep sharp. It'll be interesting to see how the RCMP deals w generating "proof" of intoxication for charging someone as driving under the "influence" w marijuana.

There are two avenues of thought here, recreational use vs medicinal (legitimate) use.
I have no opposition to legitimate medicinal use at all and I’m fully aware of the benefits contained within. I also appreciate the CBD benefits for many conditions and disorders. The problem with a lot of recreational users is the disproportionate THC/CBD ratio where the THC is high and the CBD is low. CBD plays a balancing act to the THC.
Puffing on a joint on a boat to curb motion sickness is a far stretch. Use a scopolamine patch, it will actually work.

Does that mean you have tried this for motion sickness and it didn't work? or is it an opinion ... seriously, we are only recently learning the benefits of pot and this may be new ground.

No I haven’t used. I’m more familiar with the pharmacology and the mechanism of action(s). There are generally three main causes of nausea. Chemically induced (chemotherapy, medications, etc), gastrointestinal feedback (norovirus, food poisoning, etc) and vestibular (motion sickness, vertigo, etc). I’d concede it would work on the first two but highly doubt by the last.
We’re talking dopamine, H2 (histamine receptors) and neuro feedback. So, no, not opinion. Science and evidence.
Exactly the mindset of a real person.
If I’m operating the boat, I’ll have a couple beers, I know my limits. If someone on my boat wants to roll up, go ahead, but I don’t participate.
I’m 100% for personal responsibility and if someone wants to make a choice that impairs them in a life/death situation, it’s supposedly a free country, so go for it.
