Ok, that does it, I'm telling Keith Richards he can't come to hunting camp next year. Clapton can come but I'll be watching him!

Pot, like alcohol, can become a crutch for some people, not for others.

Pot makes most users be more "inward" and creative thinking.

Being a musician myself, I've read at least a hundred autobiographies and biographies of famous musicians,
and I can tell you that most of the music we listen to was created and recorded on one drug or another.

Even Gordon Lightfoot said that when he quit drinking, he couldn't write songs anymore.

Many of the early country guys like Johnny Cash and Roger Miller were pill poppers,
lots of the early jazz guys were herion addicts,

the Beatles music changed for the better when Dylan introduced them to pot,
The Chili Peppers were hard drug users....

Neil Young and Willie were pot heads.
The Eagles were coke heads,
most of the late 1960's rockers like Santana, Hendrix etc were using LSD etc. etc.

One of my all time favourites, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a coke head and alcoholic.

Clapton and Keith Richards were herion addicts

Choose your favourite musician and read his or her biography, you'll see for yourself.

Most of the great classic rock, hard rock, blues, jazz, country etc. was created while using one drug or another for inspiration.

Some drugs including Marijuana do have a benefit when used by some people moderately.

I've never seen people become mean violent idiots while using pot though.

The most stupid drug of all has got to be tobacco, all it will do is kill you prematurely.

Well, I learned long ago that no matter what carrot a liberal dangles..... 99% of the time it's rotten inside.
I did not vote for justin, and based on my comments here, most would be surprised to know that I absolutely 100% do not support Justin's legalization plans.

people are missing the big issue with cannabis legalization in that the Liberal Party is about to monopolize an entire industry in this country. Who cares if it's weed..... this has never happened with an industry quite like the liberals are pulling off right now. The list of retired Liberals , be they cops, judges, politicians ect.... are the ones lining up in ownership and CEO roles in the companies right across the nation.
Do the research...... the Liberals are creaating thier own cash cow to make the liberal families at the top end, rich enuff to run the country. It's not a conspiracy theory..... it's fact..... go research for yourself. It's actually quite concerning to all of us who do not vote for liberals.

I simply feel that marijuana is just not that big of a deal and all the myths most anti pot people profess have been myths I've busted with my own eyes and ears and life experience observing the people I've interacted with in my 48 years on this rock. I know a great many intelligent people, successfull in wealth and family, respected and responsible functioning members of society... from engineers to welders to CEO's to general laborers to cops.... dentists...... I could go on..... but the marijuana is evil myth is just that LOL
It should be removed from the "drug" list and treated exactly how our society treats tobacco and I suppose like beer and wine as well.
BUT Legalization under the liberals is just one large crimminal organization with rcmp support is going to take weed away from all the other crimminals..... who will just peddle more street drugs to compensate LOL I think when i sit back and look at all this..... I am frustrated by the Ignorance... the ignorance of the anti weed crowd and the ignorance about exactly what the liberals are up to with legalization. I got my eyes wide open and the latter concerns m,e much more.

Totally agree with this. I'm not a pot smoker, but know lots of pot smokers, and their demographics are as diverse as coffee drinkers.

And I completely agree that the Liberals legalization scheme was about winning votes and is now about becoming a big business for their cronies and of course, taxation.

I've always supported legalization, but I think it should be done the same as beer. Want to make your own, no problem. Want to grow and sell it? Start a business like a craft brewery. Want to be a dealer? Open a pot store.

All the little pot stores are going to get shut down, replaced by Walmart style manufacture and sales- owned by Liberals.

Some of us choose not to hang around uptight people that need rules to function. And telling another grown men what to do in the bush isn't something that I believe in or will ever do.

It's that East West thing again.

Hunting "camps" for resident (non outfitted) BC hunters tend to fall into a few categories:

Backpack hunting- your camp is on your back. Booze isn't really an issue since you aren't going to pack much more than a flask for celebration. Although most backpack hunters have a stash of booze at base camp for when they return. Ironically, pot i easy to transport, and there has been plenty of reefers smoked in the sheep mountains of BC! :)

Remote horseback hunting- Your camp is on your horses. You can take booze, but limited amounts.

Drive in camps. These range from elaborate RV/trailer, wall tent and shelter set ups to some guys in a pickup with a couple of Canadian Tire dome tents. You can take as much booze as you want.

A cabin owned by one of your party or that is rented- again, as much booze as you want.

I've been in all of these situations and never felt the need to have a list of rules to sign off on or anything like that. Before the trip you usually figure out what you want to eat and who is bringing what for food and gear, and how costs are going to be divided. Just regular grown up planning stuff, not unlike going on any sort of vacation or camping/hiking/canoe trip with a few other people. There is no list of rules like specified lights out time, inspection of guns by a "camp boss" at the end of the day or any of the other rules I've seen posted here. It's pretty easy- pull your weight or others will tell you to shape up. Don't be an a$$hole or others will tell you to stop and/or not invite you back.

People have lots of reasons to go on a hunting trip, some of them might want to have a party night then have a lazy day the next morning. Nothing wrong with that, either. Heck a couple of years ago we were heading out to a buddies cabin for our LEH moose hunt. There were three of us, and we left very early, and as we would enter the zone before getting to the cabin, we decided to hunt before arriving. First light we were calling for moose and our bull was down before 9am. We had it cut up, packed out and into the truck shortly after, and since we had beer with us, we had a quick celebration right there. A short drive to the cabin and we spent the rest of the day drinking beer, poorly playing darts, reliving the morning over and over and low and slow cooking moose ribs...

Without a list of rules, we managed to hang the moose properly, prop our unloaded rifles in the corner, keep the woodstove stoked, make food, keep the beer cold, clean up and poop in the correct place. :)

I think you're right, east v West.
I've only been West.
Where we drive in, park and set up moose camp, you damn well better bring beer/booze and be willing to share. If someone wanted to smoke pot, its really noneof my business or conern.
If I take a week off work from dealing with people I don't enjoy dealing with, the last thing I would want to do is head to a camo where I need to follow another dictum of rules.

^^^ none of those classify as a traditional eastern hunt camp.....

Ever run dogs or do deer drives?.... pretty hard to do with 3 guys.....

That's why I said it's an East West thing.

You guys do things differently, and have lots of rules that you deem necessary.

BC hunting camps can have quite a few people in them, not just 3. Most common is under 10 though, with groups of 2 or 3 heading off to hunt and area then hooking back up at night.

Lol..... all of you anti rules people crack me up......

Seeing talks of “sign offs”, and a “dictum of rules” etc....... lmao..... it’s nowhere near that.....

Love my camp..... and all of the guys in it are great...... we all communicate and hang out all year long too......

Best not shoot your mouth off about something you know nothing about.....

I think many of us are on the same page! We want to get out into the bush and away from the lists of rules.
 
Ok ok, it was a little extreme ! Hunting is a great sport and it clearly has nothing at all to do with substance abuse .. once you open the door to it, these guys have no limits ! as you can tell, they come up with all sorts of Stoner logic to justify their dirty addiction. Honestly, i don't care if they smoke squirrel turds ! But don't think for a second that everyone is gonna swallow their dumbass arguments
-I'm sure the cbc would love to run a story on hunters using mind altering substances, that would be so positive for the sport ??

Its your wording lol. Plenty of members smoke Pot on this site and don't consider themselves junkies, no more then the guys that enjoy a drink consider themselves alcoholics.

Other then that, I agree with you. I don't want anything to taint the hunt. I prefer to be sober the whole time and take the whole experience in.

I own the camp...... I don’t designate myself as “camp boss”...... people just see it that way because I am the owner.... I give them a key to the camp, which has running water, generator power, an outhouse and 400 acres of hunting land, all for $300 each a year.... enough to pay the taxes on the place.... sometimes not enough as that also covers food for ten guys for 7 days during deer season.... and we eat well..... bacon and eggs for breakfast each morning and hearty supper each night......

And yeah, I have a handful of rules...... I would struggle to count them on one hand...
