The US is a mish mash of states that allow it, while others are still "against it ". AS you probably know, Canada has a national policy of allowing production by licensed companies, having retail stores, and allowing individuals to grow a limited number of plants, for their own consumption. Some of the Canadian producers like Canopy are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and I own some of their shares as an investment. The idea of the US having a national policy on this product is very unlikely to happen, any time soon. JimB.
I guarantee the fest is part of a medical approved dispensary of some sort. If not a seller would be guilty of possession of MJ, even decriminalized, there is still a gram limit. OR, are they just advertising outlets with no MJ on site over the gram limit?
My thoughts exactly. That’s how Toronto dispensaries started out and it’s often being set up by someone who has close connections with both law enforcement and the local government. When they are all in agreement, things can move along quite fast.
Some folks will do anything to make money!
Some brave folks will do anything to get laws passed that should be and it’s not that unusually to want to be paid for work you’ve done. Nothing disrespectful about it. I’m sure everyone had their clothes on.
A bit of a correction, about prohibition IN Canada. It was made illegal, for a short period of time, during WW1, so that the alcohol production could be directed towards the making of explosives, not booze. When the US passed the Federal Act that proclaimed prohibition, Canada DID NOT follow suit. It was still perfectly legal to produce AND EXPORT alcohol, from Canada, to the world. In reality the biggest export market for us was right next door, in the USA. Many Canadian producers became very wealthy from the export business. In short, prohibition in Canada was a short lived war time measure. JimB.
I did not know that. That’s very interesting. Explosives. I wouldn’t have imagined but makes perfect sense. Canada began bootlegging to the US?
Well aren’t we the wild ones? LolTNT and dynamite both contain a percentage of alcohol. During WW2 the Royal Canadian Navy had a series of torpedoes that burned pure alcohol in their sealed engine compartment, as the propulsion power ingredient. During WW1 alcohol was used as the flotation agent in magnetic compasses, both big and small ones. It was also used as the anti freeze ingredient in the radiators of air craft engines, in the winter time. And of course, military issue Dark Rum was issued to the men at sea, at noon in both the Canadian and Royal navies. The Jamaican Rum was a 2 ounce measure, that had to be drunk while being observed by the officer of the day, and it had to be "watered down " by adding 2 ounces of fresh water to it, so it could not be stored and or hoarded by the men. That is why each RCN ship had a watch and quarters bill, that listed each man as either "W " for Wet, or "T ' for Temperance. That brought about the term "T Totaller " for a man who didn't drink alcohol. JimB.I did not know that. That’s very interesting. Explosives. I wouldn’t have imagined but makes perfect sense.

If you are referring to Rosa Parks, she refused to give up her seat to a white person which the trash law at that time required. Bully for her!
No! I’m talking about the 15 year old girl
You have it right....BUT the NAACP didn't want to use her as a example. Rosa Parks was a much more "sellable example " because she was a middle aged well spoken lady. The kid didn't suit the project, so she was forgotten about until years later . JimB.No! I’m talking about the 15 year old girl

She refused to give up her seat 9 months before Rosa Park. Yay for both of them.
Yes but I wasn’t asked what the NAACP did. I was asked who I was referring to, not who was the best spokesperson. The kid was 15 and deserves the credit for her bravery regardless of who was the best spoken.
I don't think "bravery " is appropriate to describe the kid's actions. Being a pain in the ass isn't bravery, in my book. In any case both of the women are now most likely dead, right ? JimB.
