How much pot do you smoke? StatsCan wants to know

lol

Yeah read about this earlier, the attached document is why. It'll be interesting to see the numbers as they set up this framework and start collecting data. Accuracy wise their biggest challenge will be gauging the BM vs. legal.

So more market research done for corps on the tax payer dime...phhh...

While I get what you're saying statscan collects data on all major industries, this one (to be) being no different than any other. Long term it'll provide some factual data which perhaps can be used to change policy based on facts vs. evil weed mentality.

We can really have some fun with this! Maybe I use a QP of weed every day. Maybe Hippy smokes a pound. We can make this study the most useless endeavor ever undertaken.

Lol, actually in the world of polls/studies that sort of answer would be excluded as an anomaly. Stick to an ounce/day or less and it may stick What will skew the medical numbers if they use prescription data as-is will be the MMAR numbers, you know the 100g/day scripts????

Youre right...
And the stats are available to all for very little or no charge.

Just hard to swallow that...

corps pay big bucks to private companys to get info like that

It does seem like that.
And for the shit job they're doing they may as well just said "you know what? pot is legal so work it out everybody"
Because in all of their cautiousness comes hypocrisy one way or another... and in the end after all the legal dust settles weed is just going to end up like booze...

Yep it's going to go through years of needless bullshit just to come full circle to where they should have started to begin with

Bout a pound

Anyone want to bet what the amount will be?....I'm thinking 1-3g average.....gotta keep it low to protect the children....lol...

about 3g a day if I have crappy weed, bit more if its nice.

and the bottom line

NOTHING WILL CHANGE!

I'm about the same

They're going to want to know how many people grow rec.
I'm sure there will be something to fill out kinda like the census form we have to fill out yearly.

Do you guys think rec growers will be required to grow LP clones/seeds? lmfao.
Who's going to enforce this.

They'll technically be required to grow legal seeds & clones which now looks like it'll be expanded to allow micro growers and nursery growers to produce (seeds for both, + clones for nursery growers). But like you said, not like they'll be able to enforce or test the source of genetics so it's really a mute point.

Enforcement may be an issue (requires warrants...etc), but they can most definitely do genetic testing!
