Can you tell the difference between flavours of DAVIDsTEA and weed?
Shoppers Drug Mart is reportedly looking into selling medical marijuana, because what could be a more appropriate place to buy drugs than a literal "drug mart?"
The company said "We believe that dispensing medical marijuana through pharmacy, like other medications, is the safest option." And purely by coincidence, also the most profitable option.
But this raises some important questions:
Will pharmacies list side effects warning you that consumption of this drug could lead to eating an entire container of dip, enjoying jazz, and becoming convinced your belly button is bigger than it was last week?
Will big chains like Shoppers crowd out smaller mom and pot shops?
Is it a slippery slope that inevitably leads to Shoppers Drug & Sex Bordellos on every street corner?
