For personal use, yes. 6 plants per person I believe, though I'm not 100%. Commercial is a different ballgame with lots of regulations. We have weed shops everywhere now.

I just flossed my teeth and now I bid you all good night.
I love the system here for cannabis. I log in to the Ontario Cannabis Store website, pick some candies, chocolates, and drinks, and then the government arranges free delivery in a couple of days.
The edibles are awesome, but the effects can last a long time, and there's nothing you can do if you took too much. Just gotta ride it out. But everything is labeled and you know what's in them, so you figure it out. I enjoy em sparingly for the most part, but it's a great way to relax, and for cheap.

It's an imperfect rhyme, so I'm afraid notta.
But a lotta words/phrases rhyme with oughta: caught a, bought a, brought a ... and panna cotta.Finding a perfect rhyme for vodka is trickier. The closest I could find (which is still imperfect) is 'wokka', which an Australian term for a wobble board (a musical instrument). You can also try "wocka wocka" (Fozzie Bear's catchphrase for a bad joke) or "quokka" (a small Australian macropod, about the size of a domestic cat).
As for marijuana, I've never tried it. (It's illegal here, except in the Australian Capital Territory -- although medicinal marijuana is legal throughout Australia). But I agree with what Bill Hicks said about it, back in the late 80s: "About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography -- whatever that is: What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, or take into my body as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?
And for those who are having a little moral dilemma in your head about how to answer that question, I'll answer it for you: NONE of your fucking business. There, take that to the bank, cash it, and go fucking on a vacation out of my life.”
And having said that, I'm now surprised, amused and horrified in equal measure that the ONLY place in Australia where marijuana is legal ... is our nation's capital.
Says a lot about our politicians, doesn't it?
Wyoming has some of the most restrictive marijuana laws in the country. I quit smoking weed almost thirty years ago and don't have any desire to pick up the habit again. Reality is for people who can't handle drugs.

It's called a slant rhyme. So, yes.
All right. I've never heard of that term, sorry.
I've written heaps of poetry and songs over the years, and always tried to avoid slant rhymes whenever possible. There's nothing wrong with them, of course. But since English is my second language, perfect rhymes (like 'latitude' and 'gratitude', or 'bill' and 'drill') just seemed more 'natural' (for lack of a better word).
Now I'm curious: is it 'better' to avoid slant rhymes? Or have I been wrong all these years?

I was just making a joke about whether I should have another drink or not.
Uh-oh. We've gone from discussing drinks to rhyming patterns... 
Sorry, Louanne. It seems I took your post too seriously. *blush*

That's okay. I'll try not to rhyme too much today.

You are talking about perfect rhymes. But there are many kinds of rhyme: slant rhyme, sometimes called "near rhyme," is imperfect but holds the vowel sound (called consonsnce) and preserves syllable count and accent. Consonance and alliteration are also considered rhyme forms.All right. I've never heard of that term, sorry.

Great poetry is full of slant rhyme and "internal rhyme" (as opposed to metrically consistent "end-rhyme"). Check out Seamus Heaney. Personally, I prefer slant rhyme and internal rhyme to perfect rhyme and end-rhyme". It's far more interesting.

At 5:01pm? What time did you start?
If you can't decide whether to have another drink or not, perhaps you should have another drink while you contemplate the matter.
I deleted it, but why are you putting links to Google Docs? We talked about this already... no links to any external documents.VIOLA! Demo done.

It shouldn't be a Google doc. It should just be a website. Other people do that

Bro. I am staring at external work in Catriona's signature right now.
Also, it should have been a Google Site, which... I dunno why it would be a doc.

It's mentioned in Dave Barry's masterpiece Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs, which I guarantee will have you hooked at page 3. Some other famously misheard lyrics are "There's a bad moon on the rise" transmuted to "There's a bathroom on the right" and "Ain't no woman like the one-eyed goat." My own favorite is "Love is a nose but you'd better not pick it."
It did, that. I don't even know if you can get it in the cannabis stores in California, but joints and edibles are abundant.
Good on you.
Speaking of life-changing events: I was reading Jerry Garcia's biography, where he's quoted that a devastating auto accident had the "slingshot effect" on him... a life-changing event that redirected him from idling around to focusing on his music. It got me to thinking about the "slingshots" in my own life. There were really three of of them: moving to Germany at the age of nine, and encountering a whole new language and culture; an auto accident that left me in traction or a body cast for four months; and my introduction to hang gliding, which caused me to forsake the comfortable life of a civil servant to something that gave me the gift of flight in return for any any security I might have in wages or career. (And there was damn little of that security in the following twenty years.)
I'm kind of learning that myself with my wife, who is currently battling chemo fog and fatigue, although her motor skills, which improved during her last respite from chemo, are more or less holding their own. My being a primary caregiver might indeed be a third thing.
And what am I staring at here? Bro.Bro. I am staring at external work in Catriona's signature right now.

And you are allowed to put a link in your signature to personal websites, blogs, and areas where your work is available. Not a document with the work itself. Keep arguing with me and this is what I'll be staring at next. Bro.

*snorts* I've definitely been guilty of some good ones in my lifetime, but "one-eyed goat" is.... let's just say context clues didn't help those people.
I am sincerely sorry you're going through that, but glad her motor skills are holding their own. I hope that continues.
For myself, I've essentially been a caretaker in one form or another since I was a kid. The hardest was definitely taking care of my father, but that was complicated for a multitude of reasons. I can't say it defines me, but I also don't personally believe anyone should be defined by their darkest days. Or their brightest, for that matter.
