Canada's drug culture.... just... what.
Please elaborate.
Amsterdam dispensaries to be specific. Allowed to do business, distribute only to people with prescriptions, are totally open about what they sell, and you could get 2 years minimum for working there. It's so weird. Open something like that down here and you'd be raided in a week.
Only in 48 states now, something which I understand infuriates our Canadian friends.
Dubious social change in MY America?

It's more likely then you think!

Isn't it still federally banned though?

Yes, but when the state government is refusing to prosecute on federal grounds, the state courts throw out all their cases, and they essentially tell Obama and the DEA to come get the stoners their damn selves if they want them so badly, federal law only means so much.

Hell, medical marijuana isn't legal under federal law either. The states have revolted on this one.

It's a similar issue in the netherlands. The Cafe's are legal, but supplying them is not. It's legal to grow a limited quantity of your own, but not legal to walk around the street with it.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

A century from now Mikhael More will make a cartoon of dubious historical accuracy about the Marijuana Uprising and its roots in white peoples' collective fear of everything.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The new Confederacy will have dollar bills sporting Ron Paul's smiling face, and be printed on hemp paper. Luckily, they won't go through the same hyperinflation as the old Confederacy since each dollar will be "soundly" backed by a real joint.

Dunno why you couldn't use joints as currency, m'self- they're a lot less weird than some of the stuff humans have used as currency (cowrie shells come to mind), and, of course, production and "minting" is decentralized- there's no equivalent of a Ben Bernanke to impose socialism on the land when any guy with a grow light can set his own interest rates.

This would be awesome. I would work all day, every day, for the rest of my life... As long as I could smoke weed at work.
