Socialised Pot
So the Canadian government has decided to muscle in on the pot selling business and put the squeeze on tens of thousands of free-market entrepreneurs by using predatory pricing.
The 582 sufferers granted dispensation from criminal laws to use the drug will be able to buy dried marijuana for $3.70 per 0.04 ounce — about half the current black-market rate — or a pack of 30 seeds for $20 so they can grow their own plants … The drug — grown in a special federal facility in a mine shaft in central Canada — will be given to patients by their doctors. Officials recommend that patients do not smoke pot but rather put it in food, drinks or use other methods.
I wonder will the same shrill nutters who habitually rant about Canada’s “socialised medicine” now also rant about “socialised pot”?
