SHOPPING FOR MARIJUANA

Re: Shoppers seeking licence to distribute medical pot - Oct. 26

Shoppers' Drug Mart has recently applied to become a licensed medical
marijuana producer for the purpose of dispensing the product through
their pharmacy network.

Future prospects are staggering. Presently, Shoppers' gives seniors a
20 per cent discount on Thursdays on all regularly priced items, such
as milk. With their many aches, pains, and sleepless nights, many
seniors may then soon lobby Shoppers for a similar weekly discount on
medical marijuana. Also, with Shoppers' now part of the Loblaws
grocery chain, new possibilities loom for earning and spending
President's Choice points. What a catchy slogan: Redeem Points for
Pot.

Just as it was part of his father's legacy in the late 1960s to decree
that the state had no business in the bedrooms of the nation, Justin
Trudeau may be remembered for helping Canada "come out" on the
question of marijuana.
