Oh thank God.

Why are you people so bad at reading, or are you just trying to misdirect?

You either missed the point entirely - or you’re trying to ignore it. But that’s why we use simple language and conveyance to dismiss such tomfoolery.

Pure ethanol… right? Pure ethanol is illegal to sell as a beverage. With me so far? But ethanol… is the effective ingredient in alcohol. Understood? Good.

You keeping a bottle and drinking it… is not the same as distributing it as a beverage in say a store, a bar, your grandma’s house, etc… Yes? We can’t make it illegal for you - that’s you in your private home - to destroy your body by drinking it yourself. Agreed?

But… if you then… go give that bottle to someone without informing them “hey bro, this is pure ethanol - this shit’ll burn your cornia”, and by neglecting to do so, they go blind when drinking it? That’s what we call wilful negligence - in legal speak.

If you do that, then you deserve time in prison for wilful negligence and causing bodily harm to someone. Right?

Or… are you some sort of psychopath? Or perhaps a libertarian? I’m a socialist libertarian, so let me know if you need to learn something about why law is still important and why causing harm to others - be it intentional or not - should be illegal. Here’s a hint: we still need licenses for running major industrial machinery for a reason.

This is precedent now. Wheeeeeeeee common law system.

Allow me to hit back. No. But by that token pure ethanol that can make you go blind should also be sold over the counter, right?

It’s not opinion, you irresponsible doofus, but verifiable fact at this point - hence the article.

You can’t prevent people from growing it themselves at home no, but selling high grade over the counter? Heeeell no. Not in my country.

That would get cannabis super banned almost instantly after legalization, which would be dumb, counter productive - and irresponsible.

And if you went around distributing it without clearly informing of it’s THC/CBD ratio and the implications thereof?

Straight to jail - because it could be a costly, irresponsible form of stupid, that could cause harm to someone else and lasting damage to them - all because “that shit be hype”?

One year in prison. Same as when selling ethanol. No exceptions.

“One hit shit”. You mean noisy, loud, tweak head shit. Why not skip a step and go straight to meth? Maybe synthesize a concentrate you can inject straight into your groin even. Call it groinnabis. Smh.

Listen, I tell my countrymen all the time: we want to legalize, but only "low grade* to “mid grade”. I.e not high grade. We’re kind of strict though, almost dry state. Why?

Skunk and the likes have been bred to maximize THC content at the cost of the CBD content. The problem there being that THC is psychoactive and in strong amounts can even be sort of psychedelic, whereas CBD is an antipsychotic that counteracts the negative effecta THC has.

The bigger nut though - and this is the frustrating part - THC can never actually cause psychosis, but can bring out latent psychotic tendencies or be part and parcel of bringing onset psychosis - but a drunken stooper or even an intense run could do that too.

When it comes to high grade tho: do not fuck around with it. If you’ve never tried cannabis, make sure you don’t get a skunk type strain or anything that is deemed “heavy”. It’s not necessary anyway, it’s just a stupid trend between bros to try to out stone or out high each other. “Ooo, I’m the most high! ha ha ha ha”

It’s been an arms race between breeder for decades now regarding maximizing THC content, but let me just say gtfo here with that noise. Give me a working man’s spliff any day, thank you very much. We’re supposed to function as well.
