[QUOTE="FatCatAnna, post: 1507963, member: 33311"] Hey Fred - I'm an expat now living in Canada. Just to let you know, I'm part of a small group here in Canada that has been pushing for legalisation of cannabis. I am like you, smoking recreationally, due to not wanting to drink in excess and watch blood sugars go wonky low ... even with eating food along side of it. What the legalisation will do is help those with painful neuropathy at least be able to still be part of the working/tax paying community and live a somewhat normal life. I have recently also tried two types of prescription cannabis. Very different from what I have been smoking lately which creates the evil munchies ... and if you don't test (thank goodness for Bowie my CGM) ... then you know what happens. What I have found with the prescription cannabis ... no munchies ... surprise ... surprise. Not cheap though compared to what I buy elsewhere. I'll keep you posted on how things go in this country. So far, officers of the law are now able to pull you over while driving, if they notice you are driving abit wonky, much like driving under the influence with alcohol, or having a blood sugar under 5 mmol/l (90 mg/dl). Cheers! Anna from Cornwall, Ontario [/QUOTE]
