An Alberta MLA is afraid legal weed will lead to a communist revolution in Canada

An Alberta MLA is afraid legal weed will lead to a communist revolution in Canada

An Alberta MLA is afraid the legalization of cannabis might lead to a ‘human tragedy’ similar to the communist revolution in China. (We’re not kidding.)

Ron Orr, an MLA for the United Conservative Party and culture and tourism critic in our neighbouring province, drew parallels between trends of opium use in China and cannabis use in Canada on Wednesday at the Alberta legislature.

‘I won’t argue that there may be some medical benefits to a very carefully understood and medically prescribed marijuana as well, but the problem is when it moves from a medical product into a social entertainment kind of a piece,’ he said.

He criticized the ‘lust’ of governments looking to profit off of recreational drug use, and noted that Chinese culture was ‘decimated’ by opium addicts after China became dependent on tax revenues from the ‘fashionable refined pastime’ of opium use.

‘We have today a fashionable refined pastime amongst the young, which is smoking marijuana, and unfortunately now it leads to other things that are much more dangerous and much more destructive,’ he said.

‘Their whole society was so broken down and debilitated by it,’ he said, ‘that it contributed to the Chinese cultural revolution under the communists, the execution of thousands of people… and I, for one, am not really willing to go down this road.’

Orr, a former pastor, prophesied a similar fate for Canada.

‘The human tragedy of what’s going to happen with this is yet to be revealed,’ he said. ‘It doesn’t lead to the good life—it’s an escape.’

Twitter users were quick to shoot down his ideas.

Is anyone that surprised Ron Orr has super out dated ideas regarding marijuana? He was on the board of a Church that shunned a member from their community simply for saying he is gay. And he repeatedly voted against Gay-Straight Alliances. https://t.co/ygZhkLcvhW #AbLeg

Listen to this idiot. Cannabis leads to communism! Keep in mind this guy actually got elected. #idiocracy #abpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/OpiZSStPa4

I have a degree in Asian history so let’s talk about @RonOrrMLA’s claim that the opium trade led to “a number of serious wars.”

It did, but not in a way that remotely helps Orr’s argument against cannabis legalization.

Let me explain. #AbLeg #abpoli https://t.co/jj7TlmiFak

Kirk's journey through the digital realm began with lines of code and algorithms dancing in his dreams. Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
