If only California, New York, Toronto, and Martensville/Warmen would do this kind of study on vaping prior to banning it.
Dr Marwaha said: “The observed tendency for cannabis use to precede or coincide with rather than follow mania symptoms, and the more specific association between cannabis use and new onset manic symptoms, suggests potential causal influences from cannabis use to the development of mania. It is a significant link.”
FWIW, on the 26th, I’ll have been 1 year cigarette free thanks to electronic nicotine delivery. Given 8 cigarettes a day @ 13.50/pk I’ll have not spent $1570 on cigarettes, but have spent about $700 on juice, atomizers and gear. Aside from health, a 50% savings…50% which would have gone to the gov’t.

Science only valid when it suits the narrative.
Gotta keep up the “world-class” image….
The only thing I would like protection from is these power tripping do gooders.
But Leona Stirling said about the e-ban:
‘I applaud the Foreward Thinking this ban represents. Would love to see it as a Provincial Policy’
With caps on some words there no less.
Genius.
DOPE is for DOPES
The potential for self-injury would seem to indicate that we could ban extreme sports, watching Oprah Winfrey, NASCAR, and Hostess Twinkies.
FWIW, I don’t do any of those either. But if they come for my double bacon cheeseburger…
$13.50 per pack of cigarettes? Where do you live, Lance?
The government has no business regulating drugs.
What a person chooses to smoke, drink, pop, snort or inject is his business, and no-one elses.
Mike, then you expect the rest of us to pick up the pieces and pay for your stupidity. You sound like the pot has already fried your brain. Yes the dumb and dumber crowd welcomes you.
I don’t take drugs, other than booze, cigarettes and coffee.
I don’t expect anybody to “pick up the pieces” for another’s stupidity, except maybe family members, at their discretion.
The fact that you want my tax money to protect you from what you fear speaks volumes about you. I suppose guns should be illegal as well?
Vaping nicotine does not a non-addict make.
People are allowed to be addicted to things.
O am dismayed at how many want the state to protect people from themselves.
I quit Cigarettes 3 years ago (was 3+ cartons a week) and after a the initial purging was happy with my health results, but one year ago got the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and other health complications (I think the sudden reduction of nicotine after 60 years of smoking has some negative effects) I started Vamping last summer. The cost, in Arizona, retail per month @ 16.85 for 3ea 15 ml (14 Nicotine) I buy from a local Tobacco Shop.
Cheap…Cheap… Cheap (VAMO 5 Kit = $28)
The loss of taxation on 3 cartons per week @ $45ea US or $100ea in Canada. That is $540 a month in the US and $1200 a month in Canada. The Government has to get me and other heavy smokers back on Cigarettes, or their budgets are doomed.
This is not about health of smokers, never was!

“specific association between cannabis use and new onset manic symptoms”
which is what maggie trudeau said on the rubber chicken circuit about her own experience with pot… that it brought on her bi-polar episodes. eerily, it was just about the time the shiny pony came out in favour of legalisation.
the msm, as usual, chose to ignore the confluence of trudeau philosophies.

Reefer madness is alive in the Conservative Party!
Sadly, all parties have their share of LIVs.
A tax on Hot Air to be paid by Al Gore Greenpeace and other eco-freakos that produce Hot Air everytime they open their fat pieholes and produce all that HOT AIR
Are you high on crack? The story is from a scientific study not the Conservative Party. Go take your ADD and ADHD meds. Read the article linked and then come back to converse with the adults like an adult.
“…50% which would have gone to the gov’t.”
That’s the reason for banning.
