To the person(s) who decided to report to one our fine Halifax Police force that I was smoking weed.
Here’s the facts for you, I am a long term survivor of HIV/AIDS, over 20 years now. In the last five years I have developed a severe neurological disease in my brain.
I live in excruciating pain every day, and use medicinal marijuana for relief of that pain. Thank goodness that the officer was a smart and sensible man, as I offered to show him my documents from the government to prove I could legally use marijuana for medication.
He said no need just keep it away from the crowd.
So you see whatever your motivation for trying to have me arrested was for naught. I hope someone rains on your next special day. —Angry Gay Leather Man

haha, think of the children… kudos to the cop for not being a fool too. omg, i smell pot!!! call out the swat team!!! hope it helps your pain, op
Wow! 20 years! It sucks you have to live with HIV/AIDS, but that’s great you’re a long term survivor.
Some people are just busy bodies who need to mind their own business. Were they around at least when you were talking with the cops? That would’ve been sweet to see their face!
I hope your pain is subsided with the marijuana, OB.
Oh wow, I didn’t realize that a medical marijuana license, made it legal to smoke in public.
It does make it legal, right?
I’m surprised that you aren’t aware that consumables are much better for pain management than smoking. Isn’t there greater health risks associated whit smoking while living with AIDS?
You know what, I’m calling bullshit. You just wanted to get high, and almost got busted, so you pull the “I’m sick” crap. If you were really “managing pain”, you would have used drops or cookies. No, you just decided to smoke up in public.
Hugo – thats not how it works for everyone. My bro in law uses a vaporizer and smokes his medically prescribed marijuana. The last thing he needs is to consume the calories of a cookie when he has no mobility. Now, on the other hand – I *HATE* being around weed smoke and wouldnt want to be around someone just smoking it to smoke. But I understand the other side of it.
secretagent – Vaping is the cleanest way of “smoking”, and one of the most efficent ways of THC/CBN absorption, whatever works best for your bro. For me, an extract is best for pain, and I can add as many, or as few calories as I want.
BTW folks, a vapourizer produces no smell, and you’re not inhaling all the crap that you get from a joint.
You ignant Hugo. Do some research.
“You ignant Hugo. Do some research.” – On what? That a vapourizer is cleaner than a joint? That extracts are good for pain? Just exactly what should I research, bitch?
Hugo’s right fucking on – the Vapor Genie is a far cleaner smoke and the hit is amazing.
And one more thing – taking a ‘special’ cookie or brownie with you is much easier than hauling out a joint only to have the cops hassel you.
if you got it o.p., light er up, and fuck them all. nothing like the smell of skunk weed to get the party going ,hey.
unless you’re trying to shit disturb, who gives a fuck about a little smoke? i hope the fucking sun explodes, get a grip
I was reffering to your first post, Hugo. It was a shitty, stupid post. Why the fuck shouldn’t he be able to smoke a joint? Drops and cookis take longer to kick in and not everyone has access to cannabis oil, dipshit. Maybe he should have brought his portable vape that doesnt exist? Research not being a fucking tool. I will research your mom’s taint.
You should be able to smoke a doob, well, just because you want to smoke a doob. Vaporisers don’t allow you to enjoy the flavor of your weed, which for me is an important factor in the equation. I don’t give a rats ass about the health effects of smoking joints, who the fuck wants to be 98 anyway? You’re only taking from the worst years of your life, and think about how much you need to save for 35 years of retirement.
Fuck off GP, you fucking wanker!!! If I had a nickle for every time I read a post about you advising someone to call the cops because of the smell of weed, I’d have at least a dollar.
Pride parade day is kind of a free for all for partying. As long as you’re not causing a disturbance, you’re pretty much left alone. The cops are around in full force just makin’ sure things are under control and if you’re not bothering anyone, they pretty much look the other way.
I’m sure ONE day of party time in this boring ass city isn’t going to hurt anyone if everyone’s keeping to themselves.
I had an awesome time on Saturday with Biscuit and Mel. Those two are awesome and pride parade day is my favourite day around these parts.
so asshole harper, you were there, driving a truck,hmmmmmm.
Yes, GP I was. Even if I was gay (which I assume you’re implying) I would be proud of it and march in that parade, because there is no embarrassment in who I am, nor will there ever be. It’s redneck attitudes like yours, “if you support the gay community, you must be gay too” that are an embarrassment to the straight community. Now pick up your copy of “guns and ammo” and go hate some shit, assclown!
I looked for you guys, but I didn’t see you. 🙁
I had another friend I couldn’t get to either. He said “I’m on South Park in a rainbow shirt” loool. Biscuit had rainbow lips!
you take it wrong harper fool, i was just saying that you were driving a truck there. i thought you lived someplace else. like t.o., and by no means am i a homophobe. some of my best friends are gay, and i know how they all feel, when some stuffed shirt high and mighty asshole looks down on them. i have been to numerous gay functions with these friends, and had a fantastic time.
yeah, i’m straight, but where there is fun, that’s where the suckster shall be. and i am not too proud to say, there are a lot of gay guys that look a lot better in drag, than some actual females ever could. but hey, there are the hayers of everything, and everyone one, regardless of what or who the fuck they are. fuck i’m tired, i just got in, and think i’ll hibernate for a few hours.
FS – Drops take seconds longer, so fuck off with that one dipshit. Anyone can make honey oil in 5 minutes, do some reasearch after your done eating the shit out of my mother’s hairy ass.
It’s not that he was smoking a joint (which is illegal), but that he got all upset and offended when somebody complained. I can understand the Cop not busting him, and telling him to be discrete. But nooooo!!! He’s whining like the little snot nosed fuck that bitched about getting a ticket for not wearing a helmet. Whaaaa Whaaa
I doubt you’ll get the point, but I’ll use small words in the hopes that you might understand.
If I got busted for sparking one up, sure I’d try to get out of it, I might (but doubtful) even play the “I’m a disabled vet, with cronic pain” card. But I sure as fuck wouldn’t be a cry baby about it, and go after the person(s) who reported me.
OH…..I get it (slaps head), this is your bitch.
Harden the fuck up buttercup, the world doesn’t revolve aroud you.
Nice try at recovery, fuckstick! “I have all kinds of gay friends, and we do everything together”, you probably have all kinds of black friends, Jewish friends, Chinese friends, etc. I call bullshit on “some of my best friends are gay”, if you’re going to lie, at least make it believable. Are your gay besties related to “Bruce”? Assclown!!!!
Some of my best friends are toothless hillbilly chronic liars.
Wp
Yeah, Hugo? You mad broham? Durr huurr…FUCK Zilla makes it look so easy!
Hugo, I am still deciding which sullen member of the breakfast club to picture when I read your posts. It’s a tie between dandruff girl, the ‘smoke up Johnny’ guy, and a chubby Emilio Estevez. Maybe it’s because I smoked an illegal joint that was so totally illegal. See that is why you are a dink, you have this huge problem with someone smoking a joint. Who the fuck cares? To say someone ‘serious’ about pain management wouldn’t smoke a joint is laughable. And yes, this is my bitch. I am angry leather man. I like how youtry to use that as an insult. I dated Moman briefly, actually but had to break it off because he would always want to wear togas and would scream ‘drink the hemlock!’ during oral. I am sorry you think an old sick person taking medicine in his preferred way is playing a card. You are wack. Oh and thanks for the small words, Slugger. I’m going to stand over here with the people who could give a fuck about someone smoking a joint
You’re dressed to draw attention, you’re smoking marijuana, and you get upset because somebody notices and complains. Grow the fuck up.
In case you haven’t noticed (obviously not), I have stated numerous times that I smoke weed, and that I also use THC for pain. I even posted a couple of king sized buds as my avatar once. So, no I’m not against marijuana and I’m not stupid about where I do smoke, I use discretion.
if you are in sooo much pain that you need to light up a joint near a crowd then you shouldn’t be out in public for fuck sakes…I don’t give a fuck what you do as long as I don’t have to smell that nasty shit…fuckin hippies…
Well, agree to disagree. I just don’t see the issue or need to attack anyone for smoking weed in any circumstance but an enclosed space. And Shaker, I hate fucking stepping over piles of puke on my walk to work from drunken fools but we all have our crosses to bear.
If your worried about the patients health then give advice, don’t belittle. The law allows smoking until the person in charge of a property requests a person stop smoking. Some patients have legitimate reasons to smoke cannabis though I agree if a hand held vaporizer can be as effective for the individual then take the healthy path. Anything that is not cannabis (marihuana) is considered illegal even with a Health Canada license. So cookies and oil and tinctures etc are all illegal.
Gosh Kids I didn’t mean to start a fight!
Just for the record I did move to what I thought was a secluded spot off the parade ground to smoke.
Ya I should have one of those vaporisers…hmm should I take the money from my 500 dollar rent alotment or form the 60 bucks I get for grocerys….hmm. It took me a whole year of dealing with government forms and Doctors forms as well to get my paper to posess and “Legally” use medicinal marijuana, so If I want to stand on the steps of the police station and smoke ,I will. You have no idea what it is to livewith the pain of Brain Encephalopathy .
I am a proud Gay Man and no amount of pain would keep me from celebrating with my community, so all you nay sayers can kiss my AIDS infected ass Bitch!
“so all you nay sayers can kiss my AIDS infected ass”
Just be sure to use protection, kids.

Eh, don’t let it get to you, Wolf. Just do what you gotta do!
Hey Shaker, why don’t you go fuck yourself!!! You’re just another asshole that thinks it’s okay to force their will on everyone else. Nobody wants to see your fat drunk mother staggering around offering blow jobs for a few smokes, but hey, it’s her life.
Hugo is 100% correct on the vaporizer though. No smell, no hazy clouds, no burning paper and crap getting into your lungs; just a clean, wonderful high. And it tastes good too!
Honestly though. I think cops would roll their eyes at someone smoking pot during the gay pride parade. What’s the most they can do to you? Ask you to put it out or move away from the crowd. The parade itself is a fucking party and people are going to celebrate by having a hoot, eating ice cream, bumping asses while doing The Hustle, making out, having some vodka with their fruit smoothies, or finger fucking while dressed as Furries. If the smell of weed bothers people then they can all line up and take a long, deep whiff of my fart as I celebrate by sharing flatulence and smoking a doob.
In another totally unrelated converstaion, the use of weed in public came up, and I looked for the rules concerning it, I couldn’t find anything sayin it’s legal then either.
So, if someone could post a link where it states that a licensed patient can smoke a joint in public, and/or the link that states that consumables are illegal for licensed patients, it would be appreciated (a rant from 420 magazine doesn’t count).
Some people (like Shaker?) find the smell of weed nauseating, or it can trigger asthma, only an inconsiderate cocksucker would smoke around people who object.
And David, no. The “patients” health is of no concern.
Heh heh – “Furries”

For your first question Hugo
Health Canada application form E1
“Given the nature of marihuana and the fact that the provision of marihuana is for your personal treatment needs, Health Canada recommends not consuming this controlled substance in a public place. Please take note that persons in charge of public or private establishments (e.g., bars and restaurants) can request that you not smoke marihuana on their premises, even if you have authority to possess marihuana for medical purposes. There may also be municipal bylaws that prevent smoking. In addition, others should not be exposed to second-hand marihuana smoke.”
You will notice they say recommend not that it is illegal to do so.
The nova scotia smoke free places act is for tobacco only http://nslegislature.ca/legc/statutes/smok… . Don’t belive me read it and notice how it references tobacco, still don’t believe me call the department of health and ask. Maritimers Unite for Medical Marihuana had tried to book dartmouth commons and we were told we were not allowed because it was expected there would be marihuana smoked there. I am the person that got to the bottom of it all and that decision was overturned by me. Smoking cannabis in public is legal
Consumables are illegal for patients for these reasons
Marihuana Medical Access Regulations are the regulations that allow canadians to apply for legal cannabis (marihuana) [ever wonder why canada calls marijuana marihuana?]. Cannabis (marihuana) is cannabis that has been dried. Any other substance that is not cannabis (marihana) is illegal. In british columbia there has been a recent charter challenge that dealt with that issue. http://canlii.ca/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2012/2012b… Unfortunatly as I do speak to Owen Smith on occasion (the guy in that case that proved in BC court that edibles and stuff being illegal is unconstitutional) told me that this decision does not yet apply to all of Canada (it was a BC court so unless the government doesn’t appeal or it goes to supreme court of canada or something to that effect)
As for the issue regarding asthma, you should report your statistical anonamly as an adverse reaction to health canada because the science (statistics) shows it is actually beneficial for an asthma patient (in small amounts[second hand smoke outdoors would certainly qualfy]).
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/h…
As for nausea from the smell, again statistically that is not normal.
I can’t point you to a law that says smoking cannabis is legal but I know you can’t point out a law that says smoking cannabis is illegal here in nova scotia. I would put money on it.
I’ve actually met some furries and they’ve all been normal, well-adjusted people (at least as far as I could tell).
Quick show of hands. Who here first learned about the existence of furries from the C.S.I. episode “Fur & Loathing”?

Painey – Talk to your adorable little puppy about Hitler; or someone else will.
I’m afraid to ask but what are “furries”?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?…

…and before the inevitable furball forms and the skritching and yiffing begins I should point out that while our own “Pretty Kitty” is undeniably sexy; “Sexy Kitty” from the C.S.I. clip is most definitely not PK.
Had to clear that up.
Thanks Painey. Quite ironically I’m not a furry, I love our fellow Earth creatures but they are they and we are we.

LOL Painey. Just last night asked The Countess:
“Did you have a fun day, strutting your your furry culottes down the catwalk.
Down the catwalk.
Down the catwalk.
Did you strut your furry culottes down the catwalk?”
She just looked confused.
God you two !
Give it up or Daddy’s gonna have to seperate you!
Thank you for your comments David 🙂
Pain or no pain, unless the OB was standing away a reasonable distance from people, he/she shouldn’t have been smoking. The smell from that stuff is highly offensive and while most of us may enjoy it or not mind some, it does make some of us sick.
*Points finger at themax* HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA OHHHH MERCY!
I find body oder and fumes from vehicles and smells from bbq’s and purfumes and houses with woodstoves and hair spray and bad breath and the smell of a bathroom and the smells of household cleaners and smell of food on clothes and the smell of a wet dog and the smell of a farm and etc highly offensive and makes me sick.
Good thing all those things are legal to do and I’m not an oppresive dictator.
If your getting sick from the smells of cannabis you need to call a doctor right away because your a statastical anonomly and there might be something wrong with you. Seriously, out of all the science revied by and posted on Health Canada’s website there is not one indication that cannabis in low doses has ever made anybody sick. Science dude!
Talking about statistics (it’s the fancy word for science) I wonder how many people have died from peanut allergies because they were in a public place and was affected by someone eating a peanut product?
I’m calling it, you problem is ignorance/discrimination. I’m proudly out of the marijuana closet, it is legal, you live in a society where it is legal. Your ego is to large for the Canadian public cause god forbid we not think your all important.
Why all the hate and self centerdness?
Thanks for the posts David.
So…it’s not a legal right to smoke weed in public, got it.
News flash, this is NS, not BC. That info is invalid.
Asthma – I did not know of the positive effects. But I do know that some people are not bothered at all, eg. my landlord, and some people are highly sensitive, like my step-daughter.
David, your “right to smoke pot” ends when you infringe on other peoples rights.
S.E.T. (Tommy, your quarter is in the mail)

“So…it’s not a legal right to smoke weed in public, got it.”
No you missed it. People who are allowed to smoke cannabis can smoke it anywhere there hasn’t been a request by the person in charge of public or private establishments to not smoke (because their in charge of that establishment). Technically a person with a license can smoke in a grocery store, in a bank, in a reastaurant, the list goes on and on. Saying it is not a legal right to smoke in public is like saying it is not a legal right to breast feed in public. Their both a medical requirment. As a medical requirement section 7 of the charter can be used as a legal right to smoke medical cannabis in public. If it is not written as illegal then it is legal, end of story.
“News flash, this is NS, not BC. That info is invalid”
No it is not BC that is why I said here in NS it is illegal to make and eat cookies or oil or anything for that matter. Your invalid. The charter challenge was to strike down the FEDERAL law that makes those things illegal. Because it was in BC it is still illegal here in NS.
“David, your “right to smoke pot” ends when you infringe on other peoples rights”
Your right except the government and the courts decide where the rights end and begin. They balance the public interest with the private interest. At this point in time the individuals rights to smoke their medical cannabis is important enough to outweigh the public interest. That means until you prove in court that patients are somehow infringing on your rights, we have the right.
I am not saying that a license should be an excuse for the abandonment of common sense or being ignorant of what your allowed and not allowed to do. Smoking at a gas station or smoking in a scent free workplace or smoking in an establishment that has policys for medical cannabis, or etc, the patient should know the laws in their jurisdiction. Medicating in a public place in Nova Scotia is allowed. Medicating in Capital Health even with a vaporizer is not allowed because capital health has a policy for medical cannabis.
You mentioned a landloard. If I was a patient and the place was my primary residence then I am legally allowed to grow and medicate in my residence and I do not need the permission of my landloard to do that. It is my right because there is no law that I am breaking.
I would think on a day of acceptance there would be a little more of it.
If you think that patients should not be allowed to smoke medical cannabis in canada and that your rights are infringed upon go talk to a lawyer cause untill you prove in court that your rights gaurnteed under the charter are indeed being infringed upon by the rights of the medical cannabis patient arguing here is only going to show how ignorant you are. (I say ignorant kindly, it is not your fault your ignorant, the first step is admitting you have a problem). Personally I think you will have a better chance making peanut products in a public place illegal.
The reason Angry Gay Leather Man was not arrested is because he was not breaking any law. Submit, try to do something that has actual meaning (like going to court to prove your argument), or continue to get frustrated because your ignorant (again not said in a derogatory way, please educate yourself).
I have a question for you, where does the insanity end? If your walking down the street and you can smell cannabis from someones house are your rights being infringed upon? Do I need 100 acres of private property just to be able to medicate when required? Stop being so self centered. You live in a society with risk. If we did things your way nobody would be allowed to drive because driving fatalities are amongst the highest in Canada.
Yes, but…Only Kirk beat the Kobayashi Maru.
