pretty interesting about all the licensing stuff.

Spicer hints that feds could step up MJ enforcement.

I think this play would blow up in their faces. Public sentiment and the momentum are clear on this. Stepping all over state-level action could force Congressional Republicans to finally put their voting money where their states'-rights mouths are, which is something I think most would rather not have to go on the record doing.

"States Rights" is code for allowing states to legislate oppression.

Except they're all getting paid by booze and pharma to keep reefer madness alive. Truly theatre of the absurd.

Legal weed coming to Canada next year?

Oh yeah baby.
Pack your bags Mr. C  :wink:

Waiting 15 months is way too long for the average stoner.

[runawayjimbo]

I wonder what future Prime Minister Kevin O'Leary's position on weed is?

[kellerb]

Waiting 15 months is way too long for the average stoner.

But they'll get the joy of discovering that Canada is legalizing weed probably 4 or 5 times.   :smoke:

[mattstick]

Woah.
