Bud Drop Day in Canada!

Comrades,

The Miracle of Democracy at work...Bud Drop Day in Canada!

I'm moving to Saskatchewan, which will have more than 50 dispensaries; just a shame about the weather.

The Liberal Party of Canada won the 2015 general election on the legal weed platform and got a thumping majority, and it took exactly three years to work out how to set up a legit market for the gear and how to rake in the windfall of tax dollars.

After the excise, it's not terribly cheap, tho', at roughly $A225 an ounce, especially given "legal marijuana will have lower levels of THC, the chemical that brings on the buzz, than most products now on the black market".

Unsurprisingly, "illegal drug dealers across the country have already responded by lowering their prices. Some in Montreal, for example, are offering two joints for the price of one". Buy one, get one free! Same as it ever was in the supply & demand caper.

What would Justin do? - according to the Canadian papers he's had a puff or two in his day but "he said he never really liked it."
Didn't like it? Nah, he loved it, just like these wacky pot-heads and midnight tokers.
