@Unionhawk Well I wasn't saying that's what you were doing, but Oranges were used to symbolize or foreshadow in the godfather (originally accidentally)
so basically, it seemed kind of appropriate to grow oranges due to us dying of global warming
@Stormblessed yeah, was about to say, there's this Twitter account that does nothing but subtweet IN MICE whenever it hears about a study about a medical breakthrough in mice
@GnomeSlice pretty much every "could fact up to X years in prison" headline is based on taking the harshest possible sentencing for the worst thing they could possibly be convincted of and then reporting on that as if it's inevitable

The Standing Committee on Health advised the government to “undertake an evaluation of Portugal’s approach to the decriminalization of simple possession of illicit substances and examine how it could be positively applied to Canada.”
That said, this is basically "introducing a biohazard into commercial foodstuffs" and it does not surprise me at all that the max sentencing for that is high, although the law is probably written more with an eye to e.g. intentionally contaminating the produce section with e.coli
Re your other headline, "Is Canada About To Decriminalize All Drugs?" -- almost certainly not before October, probably not afterwards if we re-elect a Liberal government, lol not a chance in hell if we elect a Conservative one. Which I'm terrified we will.
TheFreshToast has really impressed me with their reporting otherwise though. I recommend them as a source of news in cannabis. They source their articles pretty well in my experience
Yeah. Which was obvious but legally challenging to prove until the contents of that Republican operative's harddrive became available, but now he's just out here saying it directly
@Unionhawk If you were America's uncle candidate and were asked about who you'd nominate to the Supreme Court who would you pick? And yes this happened
> President Trump on census: "So we'll see what happens. We can also add an addition on so we can start the printing now and maybe do an addendum after we get a positive decision. So we're working on a lot of things, including an executive order."
