HERE'S WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT DA KINE STORE SELLING MARIJUANA
I've had the great privilege to write about the Da Kine store for
Cannabis Culture magazine. I found Carol and her staff to be good
people. They are not going to try and convince you to try crystal meth
or crack or rave drugs -- or even alcohol or cigarettes. They prefer
to see people making the natural, healthy, intelligent choice of cannabis.
The system of delivery for cannabis set up by Health Canada has been a
miserable failure, offering a cumbersome bureaucracy and paperwork
that exchanges medical users' and growers' civil rights for the
liberty of growing or processing marijuana.
The only system that works for cities with hard-drug addicts is
separating cannabis from the black market and providing safe places to
buy it and imbibe.
Cannabis has shown itself to be much less a gateway drug and more an
exit drug, whereby hard-core addicts use it to come off -- and stay
off -- the hard drugs.
