Nanders Page: A6 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.
