O, Great Spirit Of Cascadia

Hear my drum.

A Lower Mainland Cannabis company says it has received approval from Health Canada to legally possess, produce, and sell cocaine.

Adastra Holdings Inc. in Langley received a Controlled Drug and Substances Dealer’s Licence in August last year, which — at the time — only allowed it to produce and distribute up to 1,000 grams of psilocybin and psilocin, psychoactive compounds found in various species of fungi.

Now the company says its dealer’s licence has been expanded to include cocaine, allowing it to interact with up to 250 grams of the drug. This includes permission to import coca leaves to manufacture and synthesize cocaine.

    1. I can see it now: “New Coca-Cola”, same as the old Coca-Cola. “It’s the real thing!!!”

    2. What? No peyote buttons? I thought THAT was the native drug of choice?

      … and Kate, thanks for the laugh about your drum circle for the GREAT Cascadia turtle or something. A nice corollary to the Catholic Saint of Andreas

      1. I dunno Kenji, I always thought that wishing death and destruction on millions was not a good thing.
        Far better to teach them about freedom, civics, etc, as opposed to teach them to hate.
        Also, way up here in the frozen north, we don’t get peyote, we get psilocybin.
        There is a reason why the PTBs hate hallucinogens more than they hate co-fentanyl.

      2. It gets better everyday eh Kenji. I often wonder just how bad and how stupid things can get and I am always surprised at the depths of stupidity that can be reached.

        1. I feel our culture is is rigged to a 10lb sinker and we’re being dropped in one of Canada’s ocean inlets in BC … trying to catch the BIGGEST rock fish … but we just keep sinking … sinking …

  1. This means that next he legalizes cocaine and heroin etc. Probably fentanyl as well.
    Anything to maintain power

  2. Welcome to drug world … half the dealers are legal and half are not, but only temporarily.

    Drugs for all … because we aren’t stupid enough already.

  3. Future will look like a combination of Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World.
    And it’s not far future, we’re there in many aspects already.

  4. And the Premier, David Eby, says no-one bothered to consult him or anyone else in the BC gov’t.

  5. I used to joke about the government-employed prostitutes going on strike for better pensions.

    1. But the new Rollerball must have diversity, inclusion and equity. It will DIE soon after launching.

    2. Will there be a separate woman’s league and a men’s league? Nevermind, I’ve been CANCELLED for asking the question. The CBC has disappeared me.

  6. This private-public venture will create jobs including public service jobs and people will have a vested interest in sustainability and, yes, profit and growth, this is built-in, fundamental, inevitable. Remember when Jason Kenney closed that Lethbridge safe injection site that had SEVENTY employees? They were poised and hoping for growth.

  7. What is going on here? As it stands, doctors are under enormous pressure not to prescribe opiates like Oxycontin or Lorazepam. You can’t get those, but you’ll soon be able to get cocaine over the counter?

  8. BC Premier says he is astonished by federal cocaine sales and upset no federal charges in money laundering.

    Maybe BC should ask Alberta and Saskatchewan about putting the province first….

    1. I miss the good old days of Ferrari, Armani and yayo.

      This time won’t be as much fun as the 80s.

  9. Can’t wait for smack and fentanyl to be made readily available. Can’t be soon enough, my Skip the Dishes (Skip the Drugs) neighbourhood driver is going to be a busy guy (probably can’t call him a guy though, might get shot by Charlie KKKlarKKK)

  10. Canadians, by and large, prefer the boot of government over personal responsibility.
    The only difference between the left and the right is whose face they want to stomp.

  11. Jess

    You got that right..

    4 weeks ago at Firebag Aerodrome, they caught some moron in the Aircraft destined for Edm or Calgary in the aircrafts washroom smoking CRACK..!!

    The question begs to be asked, how long was this crackhead on site and WTF was his job..,?? Driving a haul truck..?? Jesus, a fatality just waiting to happen.

    Suffice to say he is permanently banned from ANY oil sands project nor will he fly anywhere on the Planet – Ever ..except for in his rotting cranium.

  12. I’ll quibble here… nobody with an ounce of sense and any concept of cost vs market value would ever “synthesize” cocaine on a commercial basis. Or perhaps they spelled the word “refine” using their new woke dictionary.

    Seriously, however, this will not end well.

  13. Where I live, reserve pot costs about as much as legal tobacco, at about $200/lb.
    Reserve tobacco costs around $25/lb.
    If only the reserves started selling guns, booze and ammo.

  14. Robin Williams said “cocaine is God’s way of telling you you have too much money”. Many of these legal cokeheads be selling the family jewels for crack downtown in a year.

    1. You should try working as a bartender in any city in Canada.
      Cocaine is a staple for many people who have to count money and calculate inventory at 3am.
      Just like amphetamine was a staple for long-haul truck drivers.

      1. Key word “working”. High functioning users. The low functioning ones will be stealing the high functioning one’s stuff, while they are out working..

        Look at the pictures in the articles, there are homeless people living on the streets right next to the stores.. stolen bikes, shopping carts, tents and umbrellas, etc..

        What happens once the tipping point has been reached?

        Is there nothing else than using drugs to blunt the edge of living in this fast becoming socialist hell hole?
        Have to go somewhere isolated and eke out a subsistence living just to stay away from the trappings of the city and “modern society”.
        My grandfather was right, shirt tails to shirt tails in 3-4 generations..

        1. I have yet to see anything that suggests that these “low-functioning users” would be anything other than thieves, pimps or whores, no matter how liberal or illiberal the drug laws are, unless, like some on the Canadian right, you want China-style laws.
          Freedom carries a terrible price, but its still a bargain compared to every other alternative.

      2. I did bartend for a few years in college and you’re correct that bar staff enjoy their booger sugar. The boss was sick of patrons doing coke off the toilets so he smeared Vaseline on the lids of them one night, sales were down so that practice stopped.

  15. Yes … Jess … men (and women) can’t control their urges … which is why child sex will eventually be legalized. Esp. now that a *cough* *cough* … prominent … Gay Mayor has been caught *ahem* … breaking in … little boys. Isn’t it time to throw off the chains of Christianity and Christian morals? Isn’t it time we all lived our “authentic” selves?

    And the list is endless … we can’t control our urges to cheat on our wives, steal our neighbors packages, or covet his shiny new electric car either … to name a few.

    1. Thats why removing temptation is a mistake, it removes the test of one’s fortitude, and when one’s fortitude is not tested, it withers.
      Those who are easily tempted will reap their rewards of suffering, as God intended.
      Thats why the left’s platform is pretty much an endorsement of the 7 deadly sins.
      That’s why the PTBs try to reduce us to Hobbsians and make Lockeans illegal, and the retards who make up the bulk of the population agree.

  16. The left: Legalize dope, but curb-stomp gun owners.
    The right: Too scared to even legalize guns, but wants to curb-stomp drug users.
    The PTBs: Laughing all the way into office, and into the bank.

    The libertarians:
    Legalize guns and drugs completely.
    The PTBs: Noooooo!
    The Canadian left and right: Reeeeee!

    Fentanyl is many times more powerful than heroin, co-fentanyl more powerful yet, and these things only get to market because heroin and opium were made illegal.
    You are a bunch of pussywillows who would have been scared to leave the house in the late 19th and early 20th century, back when you could buy an SMG and some coke at the general store, and as a result have outsourced your security to a bunch of pedophiles, whom you now insist crack down on the “enemy” of your choosing. Your owners are no doubt laughing at your deluded antics.
    Well done, Canada!

  17. Casino/Cabelas, under the same roof, hmmmm… You goes for the gambling and head home with yer smokes, yer booze and yer choice of PPE!
    Sounds like a winning formula to me!!
    What do ya figure HiHo?

  18. You know, puffy-faced Justin often takes his days off in Tofino.

    Just putting that out there.

    Also, this product will probably be poorly-made, over-taxed and hard to obtain. Scarface might just make a comeback to fill the junkie-consumer void.

    Or we can just nuke BC.

    1. Yet another who seems to think killing millions is the way to go.
      …but libertarians are extremists.
      I think millions are gonna get killed, and people like you are the reason.
      Just another Adolph club fan, thinking that if we just kill the right folk, everything will be hunky-dory.
      Now FO.

      1. No, Hiho, YOU f—- off.

        You’re not an edgy libertarian, or whatever your pretense is.

        When you’re quite done cleaning junkie vomit off of your front stoop, do let everyone know.

        1. Junkie vomit is better than millions of dead bodies, ahole:
          “Or we can just nuke BC.”
          FO.

  19. Everybody’s got their little ideas on how things should be run, and most of them are based on pointing guns at innocent people, gun owners, drug users, or whatever. They hate freedom, just like they think all people who use roads should have a freakin’ tattoo or a plate.
    So, you gets what he had here last night, which is the way he wants it, well, he gets it, and so do you, and you might as well admit it, you love it.

    1. I still prefer dangerous freedom to safe slavery,
      But it’s what we cultivate in a society that matters. We can’t all be low functioning users, or we’d descend into chaos and society would collapse. The fact that it is still around suggests there are some benefits of it.
      Government exerts it’s controls, as that is the only thing the government can provide, is controls..
      It seems cyclical in nature, as systems usually are, rise and fall, pendulum effect..
      You’d think after thousands of years of “civilization” as a species, we’d have figured it out by now. Everyone still has to learn and make the same mistakes, over and over again..

      1. “…make the same mistakes, over and over again…”
        yeah.
        Free markets generate wealth, and then 3rd parties come in to confiscate said wealth. Over and over and over again. For the children, or whatever.

  20. This going to greatly affect the amount Blackie McTrustfund is going to charge us for groceries and in flight refreshments.

  21. Why make it easier? You’re just going to kill them like you were giving them a gun with one round and telling them not to waste it

  22. I remember assisting a couple surgeries way back in residency where we used cocaine (on the patient 🙂 ). You’d have a vascular lesion to be removed from, say, the nasal or maxillary sinus. A tiny bit of the stuff on a Q-tip and any tissue it touched would turn instantly toilet-bowl-white. Apparently there was a risk of necrosis if wasn’t used judiciously.

    No idea what company they would source it from. There was a story floating around that some parasite broke into the hospital pharmacy once and stole some, and two people died trying to use it.
