The reason “cannabis intoxication” is so hard to identify is because it’s not a thing. This is corporate cannabis, blech.

"disheveled clothing" this is some pretty dangerous language to use in conjunction with impairment training. Let's not forget that business are governed by the @OntHumanRights protections with regards to Goods and Services.

Do you know if they consulted experts in teaching and learning when the designed the course? It’s actually a field of expertise (one of mine) and it would not follow that a 4 hour course or on the spot intoxication modules would be acceptable. Not sure how a Dr would endorse that

Do you think anyone involved in writing and/or supporting this policy has ever used cannabis in any shape or form?

That sounds like DRUNK people not high people. Well, except the dry mouth.

Ontario cannabis shops won't sell you cannabis if you've just smoked some cannabis...
They also think that smoking cannabis will make users fumble with payment machines and do "other abnormal behaviour.

Beware those who have become intoxicated by MARIJUANA.

Ontario cannabis retailers, do not sell to this man!
The four-hour training course launches on Feb. 25 and will be required for all cannabis store employees in advance of the province’s April 1 launch date for private retail stores.
