Western societies lost religion, now we are running after "Ersatz": Climate change, Covid "saving lifes" vaccinations, drugs.

Similar in Kingston, many pot stores, sometimes next to each other. Ive spent $200-300 since 2019 to try a few things, in my teens and early 20's would often partake, these days Im happy with a beer or 2.

As far as a business many must be losing their shirt, yet they keep opening. Times sure have changed. A few people did make money on the stocks, I recall a bunch of young guys bragging about how well they did....but no one said they were selling. I traded only 1 MJ stock, bought a small position 16 months ago, sold about 14 months ago loosing 1 or 2$ a share. Note to self, next bubble get in early and sell early:)

Unavoidable odor of cannabis was one of few unpleasant impressions from Canada last spring when I visited Toronto for the first time. Call me old-fashioned but I see zero sense in legalizing one more addictive intoxicant on top of alcohol and tobacco.
