The NDP guy Alistair MacGregor from BC seems extremely intelligent and well versed on the subject, he seems to be the only one though. He is repeatedly hounding the Liberals to explain how they are going to back out of the treaties since the July 1st deadline is approaching, he has also been calling for an immediate stop to cannabis possession arrests. He seems to be the only person there with accurate information.
It takes a lot for a politician to impress me, he actually did the other night.

Off topic but this raises some questions. My buddy runs a campground and got a complaint from some campers that the people next to them were smoking weed. He goes to speak to the 'smoker' and is told he is medical. He ended up moving the smoker to a spot away from the family and everyone was happy, but it got me thinking. What's going to happen when it's legal? People will be free to consume wherever cigarettes are allowed but that isn't going to stop non-tokers from whining about the smell. It's going to make for some interesting confrontations, me thinks.

That's complete bullshit!
Firstly if the weed was in fact legitimate medicinal then it is already completely legal!
Would you move a diabetic because he is injecting insulin at his camp site? NO!
Would you move someone with with a broken leg because they are taking Oxycontin at their site? NO!
Why would you move the medicinal smoker? If the guy next door doesn't like it he can move!
Medicinal users have rights too, we aren't second class citizens that deserve to be herded around like sheep (HC is doing a good enough job of this already).
Your buddy was completely wrong to move the medicinal smoker and should be ashamed of himself for discriminating against someone for having a medical condition!

You obviously aren't in the service industry. I am. Managing a campground or resort involves placing your guest where they will get the most enjoyment out of their stay. He puts young campers in one section so their noise doesn't bother others. When a situation like this comes up, you throw around ideas that you hope one party will agree with. My buddy is a mmj patient himself so I don't think discrimination played a part. The mmj camper didn't have an issue with moving...he wasn't forced. He probably got free firewood for his troubles. In the end he has two happy campers that will return and bring more business.

You are right, I'm not in the service industry as I know that would be a fail for me and the poor fucker that hired me. I work for myself and don't deal with the public at all.
Its awesome that your buddy was able to avoid a situation but as an avid RV"er, I would be pissed if I was told to move because I smoke medicinal marijuana. Especially after I spotted, set up and leveled my trailer! It can be a pain in the ass to move 37' trailers in some campgrounds.
But the point I was making is MMJ users have the same rights to exist and occupy areas that non-users are allowed to use. Moving anyone because they have a health issue is just wrong but it was good of the mmj camper to move to accommodate the closed minded son of a bitch next door that ratted him out to your buddy.
I do feel for people in the service industry though because there are going to be more and more people that have been fighting a long time for recreational and medicinal cannabis and they are not going to be put back into the shadows anytime soon.

I agree we have the same rights but compromise goes a long way. It could have easily been the family that moved and if no agreement was reached that's what would have happened - they were the party that was not happy. They had a valid complaint- I wouldn't want my young kids inhaling pot smoke either. Voicing a concern does not a 'close minded son-of-a-bitch' make, imo. No different than complaints about noise, pets etc.
And he is self-employed as well, so making customers happy pays the bills. Be defensive all you want about your mmj rights, but a business owner needs to be flexible and able to find solution. My point was in a year there may be no area to move someone away from the smell of cannabis which is going to drastically impact his options.

Would you move someone that smokes cigarettes because of a family next door? I don't smoke cigarettes and neither do my kids or my wife. We never have and we hate the fact that people smoke and we have to smell it but I would never make them pack their site up and move.
Times are changing and we don't need to hide anymore.
As for being defensive about MMJ rights, I have to be because patients have rights too and I'm sick and tired of people being labeled as "pot heads" because they chose to smoke cannabis instead of destroying their livers and kidneys with pills. I can't take many pills as I react badly to most of them and honestly I feel cannabis is a better option for me anyways. I shouldn't be shamed that someone might see me or smell pot for a few minutes while I smoke a joint to ease my condition.
When I first got my prescription my children were 10 and 12, I told them about medical cannabis and how it helps with many issues for many different types of people. I also explained recreational cannabis, cigarettes, cocaine, heroine, alcohol and addiction to them as well. I want my children to be educated not sheltered form life's realities as I feel this is the best way to prepare them for the future. That being said, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to raise their children but the camper that had his family with him could have educated his children as to why the neighbor camper is smoking marijuana, not shame someone who already has enough on his or her plate with health issues into moving so their medicine doesn't offend the other campers. It's just plain wrong and I will defend the rights of anyone that is having their basic human rights violated!
The more I write the more I agree with your statement Vianarchris "It's going to make for some interesting confrontations, me thinks.".

I hear what you're saying and agree 100% from a patient point of view. The family could have handled it better, but when you're dealing with the public you cater to everyone. Not everyone thinks of medical when they smell cannabis, 90 years of prohibition and the cannabis culture we created will do that. Non-tokers are getting an earful from every direction these days saying how bad pot is for kids and the kids are getting the same message at school. It will take decades to educate our opponents- I prefer to do it with a 'toke and a smile' rather than conflict!
