    Post behind a paywall so i couldn’t read it. But that looks like a Fun Guyz “medicinal mushroom dispensary” (which is funny because to my knowledge zoomers aren’t legal for any type of use). There’s been one open about 2 blocks from me here in east toronto for about 4 months now, and I’ve seen a few pop up in a couple different cities in Ontario. I would love to know the how and why of both the business and the seeming inability to shut them down in a timely fashion.

      I mean, the intent behind these kinds of businesses is activism, really. They’re definitely taking a page out of the Marc Emery playbook with their business model, forcing law enforcement to sort of play wack-a-mole with multiple locations but being super duper obvious with their presence as a business, and using that to really highlight the disproportionate investment of resources in the enforcement of some rather archaic drug laws.

        • lol you do realize they’ll have fines to pay at the very least, right? This isn’t black market dealing, this is a push for decriminalization knowing full well that civil disobedience has some expensive and unavoidable consequences.
