The Canadian government may have legalized cannabis, but its efforts to destigmatize the drug could use some work.
“The best way for Canadians to protect their health is not to consume cannabis, and adults who choose to use cannabis should avoid products from illegal or unknown sources,” Hajdu said. As Vice noted, cannabis is commonly used by Canadians as an alternative form of medication that allows them to rely less on prescription medications. Some even use it in place of alcohol — a substance that the Canadian Institute for Health Information reports is the leading cause of hospitalization for substance use across all jurisdictions. It accounts for half of substance-abuse hospital stays.
Despite this, the federal government has not felt the need to tell people not to consume alcohol, but to “limit the amount you drink” while pointing to the notion that booze can be good for you.
TheGrowthOp Why?
TheGrowthOp The book of warnings from Health Canada for my medical cannabis is ridiculous. They state clearly that they only allow us to use it because of a Supreme Court ruling. It’s why it’ll never get a DIN and they can get away with taxing patients. But opioids are acceptable 🤬
TheGrowthOp ...certainly not to smoke it.
TheGrowthOp Better to surround yourself with people who lift you higher.
TheGrowthOp Well that's confusing
