British Columbia’s Cultural Cannabis Crusade
May 14th, 2009 by Russ
With swine flu subsiding to our south, Weed Fever seems to be taking hold in our northern neighbor. As reported by the BBC, this week, the Canadian weed machine is quickly becoming a thorn in the side of the United States.
The piece above first depicts Canadian Mounties (unfortunately not in their official crimson regalia) frantically erradicating weed crops in the Canadian wilderness. Some of the grow fields depicted are as vast as three football fields. Watching this piece gives one the sense that our entire northern border is little more than a Mystical Psychedelic Forest full of happily stoned hockey elves and talking moose.
To make matters worse (or better, depending on your position) British Columbia has a sanctioned Marijuana Party headed by weed activist and fugitive, Marc Emery. The piece shows the BCMP disseminating joints like lollipops to amused spectators.
