"Coo, twenty-seven years! That's a fair bit of porridge, mate. Keep your mincers peeled for the little victories, that's my advice. Brew some hooch from banana peels and toe jam, breed racing cockroaches, get'cherself a dispensation for street shoes, like — it's the only way you'll keep your bacon."

"Lord, the people — they hunger."
"Let them eat of this basket of fish, this loaf of bread."
"Oh Lord, our supply is meager, yet they are many."
"Forsooth. May the strongest among them prevail, for suffering is the will of God."
"That's... that's not-"

Yes! Long ago, I worked for a liquor licensing authority. There was a constant tug-of-war between manufacturers' creative control vs. regulators protecting children.
But before cannabis legalization, we had *no* control over packaging (child-proof or otherwise) and proceeds went to organized crime.

There are pitfalls. One of the most onerous is children accessing their parents' edible cannabis — which is sometimes packaged like candy.
That's a problem with alcohol, too; one which the industry and its regulators try to mitigate.
The opposition's scare tactics, however, have proved overblown.

A thing which nobody needs, barely does what it's supposed to do, emits a noise which makes everybody's skin crawl and spews poison while operating. Yeah, some kinda merry jape seems likely.

It was just over a year ago the leader of the Canadian Conservative Party held a rally in Kirkland Lake, a remote mining town in North Eastern Ontario which became the subject of (identical!) rave reviews by "attendees" from all over the world.
