Q: 2017: Trending our answered percentage ranking to 1st

Mark MayoI'd like to track this with the goal of getting the answer rate up to 100% (with rounding, at least), and our rank site-wide at 1st for answering, and as such will occasionally update below with updated stats. Feel free to do this as well. At time of writing (Feb 3rd, 2017) we have: 72 questi...

we're probably at our highest answered percentage in a few years at present, it's pretty great to see.
 
All hail @Dorothy
 
@JonathanReez why thank you... I've been working on those that are older, leaving the new ones to others, and especially doing those that are no/but... not answerable directly. I've also had a bit of fun emailing (like the government of Matsu, the port of Patmos, and the Belfast ferry port) LOL...
Ideally, it would be great if unanswered questions were no more than 5-7 days old, if that.

Q: Is it possible to buy medical marijuana in Canada as a tourist?

JonathanReezThere is a lot of talk recently about marijuana legalization in Canada and some people have mentioned that it's already pretty much legal in many cities. E.g. the Vancouver Sun reports that: “Although I strongly believe in medical access, I believe everybody should have access to cannabis,”...

from what I'm reading it is definitely possible
but maybe there's a catch
in any case it's funny that people still bother coming to Prague for marijuana
or that Czech Republic in general has a reputation for easy access to drugs

@JonathanReez :/
@JonathanReez i gave you a close vote and an answer both
Fine
I rewrote my answer from ground up.
 
11:45 AM
I emailed that dispensary to clarify
I wonder if one day all drugs would be sold like that...

@JonathanReez you mean like it was ~110 years ago? One can only hope.
 
1:36 PM
@TymoteuszPaul there were already restrictions 110 years ago
I mean Opium Wars happened for a reason
 
2:02 PM
@JonathanReez I will admit that I keep forgetting it's not 2002 anymore. And don't throw first opium war at me, it was mostly about taxes, not personal use ;).
But on slightly more serious note, I would love for more dispensaries to work like that. Although that is unlikely to happen with how media work nowadays, one person dies because of such access and you have riots.
 
2:50 PM
@TymoteuszPaul a lot of people would die at first
If all drugs are legalized
but afterwards we'll all be free
 
3:17 PM
I'm about to break into a rendition of "born free" ;)

@GayotFow Suppose a visa national applies for entry to the UK based on an article 10 card, where the article 10 card was issued in connection with an EU-national relative other than the one with whom the visa national is traveling. The travel companion is also an EU national and the relationship qualifies under directive 2004/38/EC. Would (or could) UK authorities refuse entry because it's not the relative for whom the card was issued?
I can think of two examples at the moment where such relationships can exist. One is a non-EU parent, with an article 10 card owing to a marriage to an EU spouse, traveling with an EU child, where the parent is dependent on the child for the purpose of 2004/38/EC.
Perhaps the answer depends on whether the travel companion also resides with the bearer of the article 10 card.
The other case is a dependent non-EU parent, with a card issued because the child is an EU citizen, but traveling with the EU-citizen spouse of the EU-citizen child.

@phoog by me, this is a bounce. Or they will be massively lucky. 85 - 90% chance of a bounce straight away
 
8:47 PM
I'm impressed that user got a rental car that can go 111mph

10:17 PM
that's only 180km/h
 
this isn't Germany. The speed limit is 70 or less. Plenty of cars will go >111, but not every normal rental car is going to cut it
You can easily do 80-85 in those stretches and nobody is going to care. Above 100 is a problem
 
chx
10:49 PM
yeah the speed limit is likely to be 55-65 mph there
 
it's 70 in a good chunk of the unpopulated areas of I-5
and plenty of people drive far faster, but going that far over the limit will get you charged with reckless driving

OP said it's not interstate
"This isn't on an interstate road."
 
oh hmm, that's even worse
