Poilievre Misdiagnoses Opioid Crisis

December 1, 2022 Published by

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre misdiagnoses the opioid crisis in the latest video, “Everything Feels Broken.” In the five-minute video, Poilievre uses a Vancouver tent city as his backdrop to make a case for the drug war. For a decade, British Columbia (among other Canadian cities) has provided a clean, safe supply of drugs for the addicted. He calls it a “failed experiment” brought in by “woke Liberal and NDP governments,” before saying he’ll end this policy and instead put […]

3 Signs of Cannabis Stigma in Canada

November 28, 2022 Published by

It isn’t challenging to find three signs of cannabis stigma in Canada. Canada never legalized cannabis because the war on drugs is immoral or because people have the right to consume a nontoxic plant. Canadian cannabis legalization was and is still about “public health and safety.” But it’s clear from these three signs that cannabis legalization was more about lining the pockets of a few select players and a public sector that lives off the taxpayer. 3rd Cannabis Stigma: Excise […]

Cannabis Act Review: No More Medical Program?

November 19, 2022 Published by

Take the Survey and Tell Health Canada to Keep their Hands Off Our Medicine Does the Cannabis Act review mean no more medical cannabis in Canada? Many of Canada’s cannabis consumers, producers, and retailers welcome the Cannabis Act review. And why not? It’s a year late, and there are plenty of problems with the current legalization scheme we hope the review will fix. But will ending medical cannabis in Canada be one of its consequences? Health Canada is asking for […]

Is the Cannabis Industry Racist? 

November 4, 2022 Published by

The U.S. cannabis industry will hopefully soon be legal, but will it be racist? Yes, according to some, because of the individual, institutional, and structural racism in everyday American society. The theory of systemic racism is everywhere these days, but how accurate is it? Let’s find some common ground with race theorists. Take the Greater Toronto Area, for example. These aren’t integrated societies but enclaves of various ethnic groups. The “legacy” population of predominately European descent also exists in their […]

COVID Regrets & Cannabis Promises 

November 1, 2022 Published by

The establishment has COVID regrets. Its media, like the Atlantic, has lost tens of millions of dollars. It seems that people would instead rely on the “misinformation” on the Internet than place their trust in the propaganda arm of the military-industrial complex. Thus, establishment mouthpieces like the Atlantic are trying to save themselves. “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty,” reads a headline by columnist Emily Oster. Oster writes, “We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the […]

Justin’s Fear of the Internet 

October 27, 2022 Published by

Justin’s fear of the internet runs deep. The internet is the 21st-century version of the printing press, and Justin’s Liberals want to control it because they are afraid of it. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press around 1436, it changed the world. For example, people began printing Bibles. They found theological discrepancies between the teachings of Jesus and the commands of the Catholic Church. The result was the Protestant Reformation. The invention of the printing press threatened the old […]

Cannabis Inflation: Corporate Greed?

October 22, 2022 Published by

If cannabis prices rose significantly, would you blame inflation or corporate greed? Or are those two sides of the same coin? If inflation and corporate greed are two sides of the same coin, then it must be a pretty big coin. It’s as if you’re saying the United States is located in the Milky Way Galaxy. Technically, you’re not wrong. But there’s obviously more to it. Nearly every problem society faces is either a product of (or exacerbated by) the […]

Four Years Later: Four Reasons Why Canadian Legalization Sucks

October 17, 2022 Published by

It’s been four years since the Canadian government passed the Cannabis Act, and here are four reasons why Canadian cannabis legalization sucks. Now, you may think I’m just nitpicking here. But people are still receiving criminal records for cannabis. There still exists a peaceful “black market” of cannabis farmers. Even the large, licensed producers don’t like the current setup. And thanks to the “public health” approach, Canadian cannabis consumers can’t even get their hands on affordable, potent edibles. It’s been […]

Biden’s Cannabis Pardon Helps No One

October 14, 2022 Published by

No one is currently incarcerated in federal prison for simple possession of cannabis. The White House has put out the figure of 6,500 people this pardon will benefit. But no one is in federal prison for simple pot possession. Biden’s cannabis pardon helps no one. I was under the impression that this pardon would expunge one’s record and allow people with cannabis on their record to get a job or hold office. What else does pardon mean? Turns out, not […]

Can Hemp End the War?

October 13, 2022 Published by

Can hemp end the war between Russia and Ukraine? Probably not, as Russia’s claim to Ukrainian territory goes back centuries. The war today is a result of multiple things. One, poor Soviet policy from the 1960s gifted Russian-speaking regions to Ukraine. Which, at the time, didn’t matter because everyone was under the control of the Kremlin. With the collapse of the USSR, Russia and Ukraine became two separate nations. Being two separate nations wasn’t a problem since NATO agreed not […]
